About this tool
HEIC is the photo format used by iPhones. Many phones, computers, websites and forms cannot open it, which is why you need a JPG copy that works everywhere.
HEIC to JPG converts your iPhone photos in seconds. Add one photo or many, convert, and save them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
The conversion runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device and are never uploaded.
Tips and common problems
- Why is it HEIC? iPhones save photos as HEIC because the files are smaller. Some websites, Windows apps and forms cannot open it.
- To get JPG straight from the camera, open iPhone Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible.
- Converting many photos? Do 10 to 20 at a time on a phone so the browser does not run out of memory.
- Photo too big after converting? Make it smaller with the Image Compressor or Image Resizer.
- Keep your originals. Converting makes new JPG files and leaves your HEIC photos untouched.
Common questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (also called HEIF) is the image format iPhones use to save photos in a smaller size. It is not supported everywhere.
Can I convert many HEIC photos together?
Yes. Select several photos, convert them, and download them as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The conversion is done inside your browser and your photos are not sent to us.
Can I make the JPG files smaller?
Yes. After converting, use the Image Compressor to reduce the file size.
HEIC to JPG in detail
What is HEIC?
HEIC is the photo format that iPhones and iPads use by default. It stores the same picture as a JPG in roughly half the space, which is why Apple chose it. The problem is compatibility: many Windows computers, older Android phones, websites and printing kiosks cannot open HEIC files, so you may see a blank thumbnail or an error when you try to upload one.
What the converter does
It reads your HEIC or HEIF photos in the browser and saves them as standard JPG files that open everywhere. You can convert one photo or a whole batch, and download them individually or together in a ZIP. The picture itself keeps its resolution, so a 12-megapixel photo stays a 12-megapixel photo.
Stop getting HEIC files in the first place
On an iPhone you can change the format. Open Settings, go to Camera, choose Formats, and select Most Compatible. New photos will then be saved as JPG. Note that this makes files larger, so you will use more storage. Also, when you share a photo through some apps, iOS may convert it for you automatically, but sending the original from the Files or Photos app can still deliver a HEIC.
Live Photos and multiple images
A Live Photo contains a still image and a short video. The converter turns the still image into a JPG and ignores the video part. If you select many photos at once, convert them in groups of twenty to thirty on a phone so the browser does not run out of memory.
Privacy
Your photos are processed on your own device. They are not uploaded to any server, which matters for family pictures, documents and anything personal.
