Convert HEIC to JPG

iPhone photos in a format that opens everywhere.

Stays on your device – Your photos are converted in your browser and are not uploaded.

You can also paste with Ctrl+V.

How to do it

  1. Pick your photos

    Drop them in or choose them. Several at once is fine.

  2. Choose a format

    JPG opens everywhere. PNG and WebP keep transparency, AVIF is the smallest.

  3. Convert and download

    The first click fetches the decoder. Several photos come back as a ZIP.

What this is for

HEIC is what an iPhone camera writes by default. Technically it is excellent - about half the size of a JPEG at the same quality. In practice it is the format Windows wants a paid codec from the store for, that half the upload forms reject on the extension alone, and that arrives at the other end as a grey box.

That is what this page is for. Your photos are not uploaded: the decoder is fetched into your browser once and the conversion happens there. For holiday pictures and photographed documents, that is the difference that matters.

A HEIC file can hold more than one picture - a bracketed exposure, a depth map, the frames of a burst. Which one is meant is marked in the file, and that is the one taken. When a file holds several, the result says so; if you want all of them, you can have them.

To avoid the conversion altogether: on the iPhone under Settings → Camera → Formats you can pick "Most Compatible". The camera then writes JPEG straight away - at the cost of file size and colour depth.

Common questions

No. The decoder is fetched into your browser and the conversion happens there. Your photos never leave your device.

Because no browser but Safari can read HEIC on its own. The first click fetches about 500 KB for that - once, and then it is there.

Because HEIC compresses far more efficiently. At the same picture quality a JPEG is roughly twice the size. If that bothers you, pick WebP or AVIF - or turn the quality down.

It is lost in the conversion, along with all the other capture data. For pictures headed to the web that is a gain. If you want to see it before it goes, use the capture data tool.

The one marked in the file as the actual picture. When a file holds several, the result says so, and a checkbox gives you all of them.

No. Writing HEIC in a browser is practically hopeless, and the need is small: an iPhone handles JPEG perfectly well.
