Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows

Windows and HEIC have an awkward relationship: Microsoft's Photos app can display the format only after you install the HEVC Video Extensions codec, which is a paid add-on for most users, and plenty of Windows apps ignore HEIC even then. If you just need your iPhone photos as ordinary JPEGs, you can skip the codec entirely — this page decodes the HEIF/HEVC data with its own WebAssembly decoder and hands you JPEGs, right inside Chrome or Edge.

How to convert HEIC to JPG on Windows

  1. Copy the .heic files from your iPhone to your PC (USB, or your usual sync).
  2. Drop them onto the converter above — Chrome and Edge both work.
  3. Leave quality at 85% unless you need print-grade output.
  4. Click Convert; the HEVC decode happens on your PC, in the browser tab.
  5. Download the JPEGs — they now open in Photos, Paint, and every Windows app.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the HEVC codec from the Microsoft Store for this?

No. The converter ships its own decoder compiled to WebAssembly, so Windows' missing codec is irrelevant. That's also why it works on locked-down work PCs where you can't install anything.

Why does Windows struggle with HEIC in the first place?

HEIC images are compressed with HEVC (H.265), a patent-encumbered codec Microsoft licenses separately rather than bundling. Apple absorbed that cost; Microsoft passed it to users as the paid HEVC Video Extensions add-on.

Can I convert a whole folder of photos at once?

Convert them one at a time or a few at a time — each takes a second or two. There's no batch queue because there's no server; everything happens the moment you click Convert.

Does this work in Edge and Firefox too?

Yes, any modern browser on Windows. The conversion is done by the browser engine, not by Windows itself, so the OS's codec situation doesn't matter.
