Convert HEIC to JPG

How This HEIC to JPG Converter Works

Drop in your HEIC files — one photo or a whole camera roll's worth — and choose JPG as the output format. Decoding and re-encoding happen entirely in JavaScript inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and nothing is left behind when you close the tab. It works on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android, because the browser does all the work.

EXIF data carries over — date, time, GPS location, camera settings, and orientation stay embedded in the JPG, so your photo library and file manager still see the original information.

Why Your iPhone Photos Are HEIC (and Where That Breaks)

Starting with iOS 11, Apple switched the default photo format from JPG to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container). HEIC files are roughly half the size of equivalent JPGs at the same visual quality — on a phone holding thousands of photos, that adds up fast. The tradeoff is compatibility. HEIC is Apple-driven, and the rest of the world hasn't caught up.

Convert to JPG when you hit:

• Upload forms. Government portals, job applications, visa and passport forms, university admissions — most whitelist JPG, PNG, and sometimes PDF, and nothing else. You get "unsupported file type" with no further guidance.
• Windows. Windows 10 and 11 can open HEIC only if you install the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store, and some setups also need the paid HEVC Video Extensions. Older versions can't open it at all.
• Email and sharing outside Apple. AirDrop to another iPhone just works. Send to an Android user, attach it for a client, or drop it in a shared folder, and the recipient may see a file they can't open. Apple converts to JPG in some sharing paths but not all — and you can't predict which.
• WordPress and site builders. WordPress only added HEIC support recently and most themes and plugins still can't process it. Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix reject HEIC uploads outright.

One thing that surprises people: the file gets bigger. Because HEIC is the more efficient format, the converted JPG is typically 30–50% larger than the original — a 2MB HEIC might become a 3MB JPG. That's the price of universal compatibility. If you need it smaller afterward, run it through the image compressor.

Your photos are personal — vacation shots, family pictures, screenshots of private conversations. Most online HEIC converters upload your photo, process it remotely, and send the JPG back. This one doesn't, which is why no account is required and no trust is either.

Common Mistakes When Converting HEIC Photos

• Expecting the file to get smaller. It won't. HEIC is more efficient than JPG, so converting almost always increases file size. If a portal has both a format restriction and a size limit, convert first, then compress.
• Renaming the extension to .jpg. Changing the filename doesn't change the file. The data inside is still HEIC, and anything that actually reads the file will still reject it.
• Assuming AirDrop and email always convert for you. Apple converts in some sharing paths and not others, with no indication which you're in. If the recipient isn't on Apple hardware, convert deliberately rather than hoping.
• Converting your whole library preemptively. HEIC is the better format to store. Convert the photos you need to send or upload, and leave the rest alone — otherwise you're trading storage for nothing.
