HEIC to JPG Converter
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, but most of the web, Windows, and older apps still expect JPG. This tool decodes HEIC entirely on your device and re-encodes it to JPG. Nothing is ever uploaded, and it handles one photo or a whole folder the same way.
Your photos never leave your device. Open DevTools → Network and convert a photo — you’ll see zero uploads. Learn how to verify this.
When to use HEIC to JPG
- A website, form, or app rejects your iPhone photo with an "unsupported file type" error
- You need to email, print, or upload a photo somewhere that does not recognize HEIC
- You are moving your photo library to a Windows PC or an older Android device
- You want the smallest, most compatible file format for sharing

Frequently asked questions
Is converting HEIC to JPG free?
Yes, completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit — because the conversion happens on your own device, not on our servers. Very large batches depend on how much memory your device has.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so there is a small, generally invisible quality trade-off at the default 90% quality setting. You can raise the quality slider to 100 for a closer match, or lower it for a smaller file.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG on iPhone without an app?
Yes — open this page in Safari on your iPhone, tap to choose your photos, and download the converted JPGs or share them directly with the share sheet. No app install required.
Is it safe to convert HEIC to JPG here? Do you upload my photos?
Your photos never leave your device. Conversion runs directly in your browser tab. You can verify this yourself: open DevTools → Network before converting and you will see zero upload requests.
Can I convert more than one HEIC file at once?
Yes. Drop a selection of photos or a whole folder and download them individually or as one ZIP archive. A folder drop reads up to 10,000 files, and how large a batch can run depends on your device’s memory.
What happens to my photo’s location and other metadata?
By default, GPS and other EXIF metadata are stripped from the output for privacy, and the image orientation is baked into the pixels so it never appears sideways.
