Convert HEIC to JPG

HEIC is Apple's photo format: a HEIF container holding HEVC (H.265) compressed images, which is why an iPhone photo is often half the size of an equivalent JPEG. The catch is compatibility — Windows, Android, and most websites still expect JPEG, the thirty-year-old DCT-based format everything can open. This converter decodes the HEIC and re-encodes it as a JPEG entirely inside your browser, so the photo never touches a server.

.heic, .heif — up to 200 MB. Processed locally; never uploaded.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Drop your .heic photo onto the box above (or click to browse your files).
  2. The page reads the first bytes of the file to confirm it really is HEIC/HEIF, not just a renamed file.
  3. Adjust the JPEG quality if you want a smaller file — 85% is a good default for sharing.
  4. Click Convert. A decoder compiled to WebAssembly unpacks the HEVC image data on your device.
  5. Download the .jpg — it opens in every browser, editor, and operating system.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't Windows open my iPhone photos?

Since iOS 11 (2017) iPhones save photos as HEIC, which uses HEVC compression. Windows only gained HEIC support via a paid codec extension, and many apps never added it. Converting to JPEG sidesteps the codec problem entirely.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPEG is lossy, so there is a small recompression step, but at 85% quality the difference is invisible for normal photos. HEIC's efficiency comes from HEVC being a newer codec — the JPEG will typically be a somewhat larger file at similar visual quality.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The HEIC decoder runs as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Open your browser's network inspector during a conversion and you'll see zero file data leave your machine.

Will the JPG keep the photo's orientation?

The decoded image is rendered as stored, including the orientation most iPhone photos carry. If a specific file comes out rotated, that's a quirk of how that phone wrote the EXIF orientation flag.
