About this HEIC to JPEG converter

Since iOS 11, iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) by default. It's smaller than JPEG at the same quality, but the trade-off is compatibility: plenty of Windows apps, websites, older Android phones, and image tools still can't open a .heic file. This free HEIC to JPEG converter fixes that without installing anything — drop your photos onto the page and they're decoded and re-encoded to standard JPEG (or PNG) entirely in your browser using the open-source libheif engine (via heic-to). Nothing is uploaded, so it's safe for personal photos, screenshots, and anything you wouldn't want sitting on some random conversion site's server.

You can convert a whole batch at once, adjust the JPEG quality to trade size for fidelity, and grab everything in a single ZIP. Orientation from the photo's metadata is preserved, so portrait shots stay upright. It's handy for anyone who needs to email an iPhone photo to someone on Windows, upload one to a site that rejects HEIC, or just standardize a folder of images before importing them into a pipeline or a design tool.

FAQ

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding and conversion happen locally in your browser with WebAssembly. Your images are never sent to a server, which makes this safe for private or sensitive photos.

What is a HEIC file, and why won't it open?

HEIC is the image format iPhones use by default. It saves space, but many non-Apple apps and websites don't support it yet — so converting to JPEG makes the photo open everywhere.

Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they'll convert one after another. Download each on its own, or click "Download all (ZIP)" to get the whole batch in a single archive.

Will converting to JPEG lose quality?

JPEG is lossy, so there's some loss, but at the default 90% quality it's visually negligible for most photos. Turn the quality up toward 100% for maximum fidelity, or choose PNG for a lossless result (larger files).

Why is a large HEIC slow to convert?

Decoding HEIC is CPU-intensive and runs on your device, so very large or numerous files take longer and depend on your machine. The page may pause briefly while a big image is processed — that's expected.
