Need a different format?

This free HEIC to JPG converter turns iPhone photos into JPG (JPEG) right in your browser — in batches, with no upload, no signup and no watermark. Since iOS 11 the iPhone camera has saved pictures as HEIC by default: about half the file size of a JPG at the same quality, and a format Windows won't preview without an extra extension, that many Android phones can't open and that a long list of websites and older programs flatly reject. You can switch the camera to "Most Compatible" in Settings and shoot JPG from now on, but the thousands of photos already in your library stay HEIC — those still have to be converted, which is what this page is for. Everything, the HEIC decoding included, happens on your own device; the photos never leave it.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. 1

    Add your HEIC photos

    Drag HEIC or HEIF files into the upload area, or click to pick them — on an iPhone or iPad you can choose straight from the camera roll. One photo or a whole album: the entire batch is handled in a single pass, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

  2. 2

    Set the quality

    Drag the quality slider to balance detail against file size — around 80 to 90 is indistinguishable from the original photo at normal viewing size and in print. You can also cap the longest edge when the camera's full resolution is more than an email or a web upload needs.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Click Convert and each photo is decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser. Download the JPGs one at a time, or take the whole album as a single ZIP. The HEIC originals on your device are left untouched.

Key features

Built for iPhone photos

HEIC and HEIF files straight off an iPhone or iPad are decoded here, including the ones Windows Explorer shows as a blank icon. No HEIF extension to install, no iTunes, no desktop app, no cable.

A whole album in one pass

Select hundreds of photos, convert them with one click and download the lot as a single ZIP — instead of re-saving, AirDropping or emailing picture after picture.

Full resolution, quality you control

Photos convert at their original pixel dimensions unless you cap them yourself, and the quality slider decides how hard JPG compresses. At the high end there is no visible difference from what you shot.

No app, no extension, any device

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or the iPhone itself: if it runs a modern browser, it converts. Nothing to download, no HEIF Image Extensions to add, no account — which also means nothing to install on a work computer you don't administer.

Nothing leaves your device

The HEIC decoder runs inside your browser as WebAssembly, so photos are never uploaded, never stored on a server and never seen by us. That matters more here than for any other format — these are family pictures, screenshots of documents, photos of your ID.

Free, unlimited, no watermark

No signup, no email, no daily quota and no watermark. Convert five holiday snaps or five hundred, as often as you like.

When to convert HEIC to JPG

Sending photos to Windows or Android users

The moment an iPhone photo leaves the Apple world it tends to stop working: a blank thumbnail in Explorer, an "unsupported file" notice in a chat app, a colleague asking you to "send it normally". Sent as JPG, it just opens.

Uploading to a site that rejects HEIC

Insurance claims, visa and school portals, marketplaces, forums and most CMS uploaders take JPG and PNG only. Convert the photo first and the form stops complaining.

Converting a whole album

A trip's worth of pictures exported from Photos or copied off the iPhone in bulk arrives as hundreds of .HEIC files. Drop them all in and get one ZIP of JPGs back.

Printing and photo labs

Print shop terminals, photo-book services and office printers run years behind on formats. JPG on a USB stick or in an upload box is what they reliably accept.

FAQ

Is this HEIC to JPG converter really free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup, no email and no daily limit. No watermark on the converted photos, and no paid tier that unlocks a better conversion.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The HEIC decoder and the JPG encoder both run inside your browser, on your own device. Your photos are never uploaded, never stored and never seen by us — once the page has loaded it works in airplane mode too. For personal photos, that is the whole point.

What is HEIC, and why does my iPhone use it?

HEIC is Apple's name for a HEIF image file, which stores photos using modern HEVC compression. It has been the iPhone camera's default since iOS 11 because it saves roughly half the space of a JPG at the same quality. The trade-off is compatibility — and it works the other way too: converting to JPG will usually about double the file size. That is the price of a format everything can open.

Can I make my iPhone shoot JPG instead?

Yes — open Settings › Camera › Formats and choose "Most Compatible". Every new photo is then a JPG. It changes nothing about the pictures already in your library, though: those stay HEIC and still need converting, which is exactly what this tool does.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so a re-encode is never mathematically identical to the original. At a high quality setting the difference is invisible in normal viewing and in print; only heavy compression starts to soften fine detail. Your HEIC originals are never modified, so you can convert again at a higher setting at any time.

Can I convert a whole album at once?

Yes. Select or drop in as many HEIC files as you like — hundreds is fine — convert them with one click and download them individually or as a single ZIP. Large batches take longer on a phone than on a laptop, because all the work is done by your own device's processor.

What happens to Live Photos and transparency?

A Live Photo converts to its still frame: the JPG keeps the picture, not the short video attached to it. Transparency is rarely a concern with camera photos, since they have no transparent areas — but if a HEIC does carry an alpha channel, those pixels are filled with the background color set above the converter (white by default), because JPG has no alpha channel at all.
