How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Add your photos. Drag HEIC files from your iPhone, Mac or PC onto the box above, or click it to pick files. You can add many at once.
- Pick a format. JPG works everywhere. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency. WebP gives the smallest files for websites.
- Download. Each image converts in a second or two. Save them one by one or press Download all.
Changing the format or quality re-converts every image in the list, so you can compare file sizes before downloading.
Why use this converter?
- 100% private: most online converters upload your photos to their servers. This one doesn't. Decoding and encoding happen in your browser, so personal photos, documents and screenshots stay on your device.
- No limits: no daily caps, no watermark, no account, no email required.
- Works everywhere: Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android, in any modern browser.
- Fast: there's no waiting for uploads or downloads, so large batches finish quickly even on slow connections.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression to store photos at roughly half the size of a JPG with the same visual quality, and it can hold extras like Live Photo frames and depth data.
The downside is compatibility. Many versions of Windows, older Android phones, photo printing kiosks, government forms and website upload fields don't accept HEIC. Converting to JPG is the simplest fix because almost every device and app in the world can open a JPG.
What is a WebP file?
WebP is an image format created by Google for the web. Websites use it because it's 25–35% smaller than JPG. But when you save a WebP image from a website, many desktop apps, editors and upload forms can't open it. Converting WebP to JPG or PNG makes it usable everywhere.
JPG vs PNG vs WebP: which should I choose?
| Format | Best for | Transparency | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPG | Photos, sharing, printing, uploads | No | Small |
| PNG | Screenshots, graphics, logos, lossless editing | Yes | Large |
| WebP | Websites and blogs | Yes | Smallest |
If you're not sure, choose JPG. It's the most widely supported format.

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Every conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Open this page in any browser, drag your HEIC files onto the drop area, keep the output set to JPG and click Download. No software install is needed.
Is there a file limit?
No. You can convert as many images as you like, for free. Very large batches are only limited by your device's memory.
Will converting reduce quality?
JPG and WebP are compressed formats. At the default 92% quality the difference is not visible to the eye. Choose PNG for completely lossless output.
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
HEIC files are about half the size of JPGs at the same quality, so iPhones use them to save storage. You can make your iPhone shoot JPG instead under Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Is photo metadata (EXIF / location) kept?
No. Converted images are re-drawn from pixels, so GPS location and camera details are removed. That's a privacy bonus when you share photos online.
