    Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG — privately

    When you AirDrop or copy photos from an iPhone, they often arrive as .heic files that Windows, older Android phones and many websites refuse to open. This free converter turns HEIC and HEIF images into universally compatible JPG (or lossless PNG) without uploading anything. The decoding happens inside your browser, so even sensitive personal photos stay completely on your device.

    How to convert HEIC to JPG

    1. Add your HEIC files Drag your .heic or .heif files onto the box above, or click to browse for them.
    2. Choose an output format Pick JPG for the smallest, most compatible files or PNG for lossless quality.
    3. Set the quality For JPG, set the Quality slider; 80–90 looks indistinguishable from the original for most photos.
    4. Convert the files Click Process files and let the converter work through your batch.
    5. Download the results Download each photo, or click Download all (.zip) to grab the entire set.

    Why convert HEIC to JPG?

    • Open them anywhere: JPG works in every browser, image viewer, document editor and printing service.
    • Share without surprises: recipients on Windows or older phones see your photo instead of an error.
    • Upload to any site: many forms, marketplaces and social platforms still reject HEIC uploads.
    • Edit freely: get your photos into a format that every photo-editing app understands.

    About HEIC, quality and privacy

    HEIC stores images using the modern HEVC compression standard, which is why a HEIC file is often half the size of the equivalent JPG. Converting to JPG trades a little of that efficiency for compatibility that simply works everywhere. If you need to preserve transparency or want a pixel-perfect copy, pick PNG instead. Either way, your originals are read directly from your device and converted locally — nothing is transmitted, stored or logged, which makes this a safe choice even for private and family photos.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a HEIC file?
    HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads use by default. It saves space but is not supported by many Windows programs, websites and older devices, which is why converting to JPG is so useful.
    Do my HEIC photos get uploaded anywhere?
    No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your photos never leave your device and are never sent to a server.
    Should I choose JPG or PNG?
    Choose JPG for photographs — it produces small files that open everywhere. Choose PNG when you need lossless quality or a transparent background.
    Can I convert several HEIC photos together?
    Yes. Select as many HEIC or HEIF files as you like, convert them in one go, and download them individually or as a single ZIP archive.
    Why won’t my HEIC photos open on Windows in the first place?
    Older versions of Windows do not include the HEVC/HEIF codecs needed to decode HEIC, so File Explorer and many apps show an error or a blank thumbnail. Converting to JPG sidesteps the problem entirely, because JPG support is built into every system.
    Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce the quality?
    Converting to JPG is lossy, so there is a small, usually invisible quality change at the default setting. Keep the Quality slider at 85–95 for results that look identical to the original. Choose PNG instead if you need a pixel-perfect, lossless copy.
    Does the converter remove location and camera data from my photos?
    Yes. Re-encoding the image drops embedded EXIF metadata such as GPS coordinates, camera model and timestamps, which is helpful before sharing photos publicly. Keep the original HEIC if you want to retain that information.
    Can I convert HEIC files on my iPhone or Android phone?
    Yes. The tool runs in your phone’s browser. Tap the box, pick the HEIC photos from your camera roll, choose JPG or PNG, and the converted files download straight to your device — no app to install.
