HEIC to JPG

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG, the format that opens and prints anywhere — with a background colour choice for any transparent areas.

Convert HEIC to JPG (open iPhone photos anywhere) HEIC → JPG

Drop HEIC or HEIF photos to get JPGs you can share, upload, and open anywhere.

Quality

Background
Higher quality means a larger file. JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas use the background colour. HEIC photos are decoded locally — the first one may take a few seconds while the decoder loads.
Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. Metadata is removed automatically.

01

Add your HEIC photos

Drop them straight from your iPhone or a Photos export. They're read off your disk and stay there.

02

Set quality and background

90 suits most photos. Pick a background colour for any transparent areas, since JPG can't store transparency.

03

Download

Take one file, or the whole batch as a ZIP.

Why this one

Built against the ways these tools disappoint.

We ran the same files through the popular alternatives first. These are the gaps we found, and what this tool does instead.

01

Most HEIC converters upload your photos to a server to do the work.

The conversion runs inside your browser — your photos are never sent anywhere.

test: turn your wifi off after the page loads and convert anyway
02

Batch converters cap the free tier at ten or twenty files.

No file-count limit and no watermark — your machine does the work.

test: drop forty photos at once
03

You can't tell what the conversion cost until after you download.

Each file lists its original and converted size side by side before you save

test: convert one photo and read the two numbers
The detail

How this actually works.

HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in — smaller files, full quality — but it’s Apple’s format, so the moment a photo leaves the Apple world it can stop working: a Windows PC won’t preview it, an upload form rejects it, a print shop can’t read it. Converting to JPG solves all of that at once, because JPG opens and prints on essentially every device, app and service there is.

On the iPhone itself you can head off future photos: Settings → Camera → Formats → “Most Compatible” makes the camera save JPG from then on. But that does nothing for the hundreds of HEIC photos already in your library — and converting those one at a time through AirDrop or email is slow. This tool takes a whole batch at once, in the browser, on any device, with nothing to install.

Everything runs on your own machine — your photos are decoded and converted locally and never uploaded. There’s no watermark and no file-count cap, you pick the JPG quality (90 is the safe default), and each file shows its original and converted size. If you’d rather keep full quality for editing, HEIC to PNG is lossless; for the web, HEIC to WebP is smallest; and HEIC to PDF combines several photos into one document.

The format field guide explains which target to pick for which job.

FAQ

The questions people actually type in.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion happens inside your browser and your photos are never sent anywhere. One caveat specific to HEIC: browsers can't decode Apple's format on their own, so a small decoder library downloads the first time you drop a file. Your image isn't part of that request.

Why won't my iPhone photos open on Windows or elsewhere?

iPhones save in HEIC, Apple's high-efficiency format. It's excellent quality at half the size, but support outside Apple devices is patchy, which is why converting to JPG is the quickest fix.

Should I convert HEIC to JPG, PNG or WebP?

JPG for sharing, emailing and printing — it opens everywhere. PNG if you need lossless quality for editing. WebP if it's going on a website and you want the smallest file.

Does converting to JPG lose quality?

JPG is lossy, so re-encoding discards a little data, but at 90 the difference is normally invisible at ordinary viewing size. Both file sizes are shown so you can judge the trade.

Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?

Yes, with no file-count limit. Download them individually or as a single ZIP.

How do I convert HEIC to JPG on my iPhone without an app?

For photos you'll take in future, set Settings → Camera → Formats → "Most Compatible" and the camera saves JPG. For HEIC photos you already have, open this page in your phone's browser, drop them in, and download JPGs — a whole batch at once, nothing installed, nothing uploaded.

How do I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?

Go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose "Most Compatible." New photos will be saved as JPG. It won't change existing HEIC photos, so convert those here.
