HEIC to JPG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG right in your browser — free, fast and private.

What is HEIC to JPG conversion?

This tool converts HEIC (Apple's efficient iPhone photo format) into the universal JPG. Decoding and conversion happen locally on your device with no upload — ideal for private photos. HEIC is the high-efficiency image format Apple uses on iPhones — small files with good quality, but limited support outside the Apple ecosystem. Converting to JPG or PNG lets almost any device or website open and accept it.

How to use it

  1. Select or drop in your HEIC photo (.heic).
  2. The tool decodes it locally and converts to JPG.
  3. Click Download to save the JPG.

When to convert

When you need to upload an iPhone photo to a site that rejects HEIC, send it to a non-Apple user, or import it into older software, converting to JPG is the safe choice. Pick JPG for a small, shareable file, or PNG for lossless or transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. HEIC decoding and conversion run entirely in your browser. Your photos are never sent to a server — safe for private pictures.

Why are iPhone photos HEIC?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because it stores the same quality in a smaller file. But it often won't open outside the Apple ecosystem, so you convert to JPG or PNG.

Does converting to JPG reduce quality?

JPG is lossy, so it is compressed by quality; the difference is usually invisible and it is the most universally supported.

Is the first conversion a little slow?

It loads a decoder (libheif) on first use, so the first photo takes a moment; after that it is fast. Everything stays on your device.
