HEIC to JPG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos to JPG that opens anywhere: Windows, Android, and upload forms that reject HEIC. Photos are decoded on your device, so nothing is uploaded, there are no file limits, and location data is left out of the JPGs.

How to use HEIC to JPG

  1. Drop HEIC files here or choose files. A whole camera-roll export is fine.
  2. Keep the Quality at 90 for photos you'll keep, or lower it for smaller files.
  3. For a form with a size limit, pick a Target file size such as 50 KB or 100 KB, or type a Custom one, with a Minimum size if the form gives a range. A Max width / height also helps.
  4. Download each JPG, or Download all as a .zip.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?

Open this page in any browser on Windows, drop your HEIC photos in, and download the JPGs. No codec or app install is needed.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (HEIF) is the photo format iPhones use by default. It saves space but many websites and Windows apps can't open it, so JPG is safer for sharing.

How do I make my iPhone take JPG photos instead?

On the iPhone, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible. To get JPGs when copying to a computer, set Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC to Automatic.

Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Yes. Drop as many as you like and download them all together as one .zip.

Will the JPG be bigger than the HEIC?

Usually, yes. HEIC compresses better than JPG, so at a high quality the JPG is often noticeably larger. Lower the Quality or set a Target file size if size matters.

Are my iPhone photos uploaded?

No. They are decoded with libheif running in your browser. Location and camera details are left out of the JPGs.

What is kept and what is lost

JPG or PNG?

JPG is the right choice for sharing, email and upload forms: small files that open everywhere. If you'll edit the photo and want no further compression loss, use HEIC to PNG instead, but expect files many times larger.

Exam and government portals often accept only JPG under a KB limit. Convert here with a Target file size, or use compress to 50 KB, which also takes HEIC photos directly.
