About this tool
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format the iPhone uses to save photos — it stores great quality in a small file, but many websites, Windows apps and older programs can't open it. Converting to JPG gives you a universally-supported image you can upload, email or edit anywhere.
This converter decodes HEIC entirely in your browser and re-encodes it as JPG, so the photo is never uploaded to a server — important for personal pictures. Drop one file or a whole batch; each converts in turn with a progress indicator, and you can grab them individually or as a single ZIP.
Everything runs locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG for free?
Drop your iPhone HEIC or HEIF photos onto this page and each is converted to JPG right in your browser, then download them individually or all at once as a ZIP. It is completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up, and your photos never leave your device.
Why can’t I open HEIC files on Windows or the web?
HEIC is an Apple-favoured format; Windows and many web apps need an extra codec to read it. Converting to JPG produces a file that opens everywhere without any plugin.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and conversion happen in your browser using WebAssembly; the image data never leaves your device, which is what makes this safe for personal photos.
Does converting to JPG lose quality?
JPG is lossy, so there is a small quality trade-off, but the converter uses a high quality setting (about 92%) so the difference is hard to see. For a smaller file, run the result through the image compressor.
