Your JPGs are ready!

Everything happened inside your browser — your photos were never uploaded anywhere, so there is nothing to delete.

How it works

1

Add photos

Drop one HEIC or a whole batch into the box above — or click to browse. Files are read locally; nothing is uploaded.

2

Convert

Pick a quality and hit Convert to JPG. Each photo converts right in your browser, one after another, with live progress.

3

Download

Download each JPG individually, or grab the whole batch as one ZIP. Repeat for as many photos as you like — no limits.

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

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones have used by default since iOS 11. Apple switched to it for one good reason: it stores the same visible quality at roughly half the file size of JPG, so your phone fits twice as many photos in the same storage.

The catch is compatibility. Windows did not support HEIC until a codec download, many Android apps still stumble on it, and countless upload forms, government portals, printers and older desktop programs reject it outright. That is why you get the annoying “unsupported file type” message when you try to attach an iPhone photo.

Converting to JPG is the universal adapter. This page decodes your HEIC right inside your browser — your photo never touches a server — and hands you back a JPG that works in literally everything: every browser, every email client, every office suite, every upload form.

Tips

  • This is the compatibility move. Use it whenever something rejects your iPhone photo — upload forms, old software, printers, office documents.
  • 92% quality is the sweet spot. HEIC packs more detail than JPG can hold, but 92% is visually identical to the original without bloating the file.
  • Expect a bigger file. The JPG will usually be about twice the HEIC’s size — that is normal and unavoidable. Use the Compress tool afterwards if size matters.
  • Keep the HEIC too. The HEIC is the smaller, higher-quality master — archive it, and use the JPG as the “works everywhere” copy.
  • Stop future conversions at the source. On iPhone, Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible shoots in JPG directly — no conversion needed ever again.

Common uses

  • Upload forms that reject HEIC — government portals, job applications, insurance claims.
  • Windows & Android sharing — send photos anyone can open, no codec downloads.
  • Printing — photo labs and office printers that only accept JPG.
  • Old software — email clients, editors and viewers built before HEIC existed.
  • Social media quirks — some uploaders silently fail on HEIC; JPG never does.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes — this tool is built for batches. Add as many HEIC photos as you like, hit Convert to JPG once, and download each JPG individually or all of them together as a ZIP. Because everything runs locally in your browser, there are no file-count limits and no queues.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?

Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) because it stores the same quality at roughly half the file size of JPG — saving storage space. You can switch the camera back to JPG in Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible, but HEIC remains the default.

Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

Barely, at the right settings. HEIC stores more detail than JPG needs, so one conversion at 90–95% quality is visually identical to the original for all practical purposes. This tool converts at 92% quality by default to keep it that way.

Will the JPG be bigger than my HEIC file?

Yes, usually about twice as big. HEIC is far more efficient than JPG, so the same photo in JPG takes more bytes. That is the price of universal compatibility — and it is worth paying when a system will not accept HEIC.

Does this tool upload my photos anywhere?

No. The entire conversion happens inside your browser using a local decoding library — your photos never leave your device. That is exactly why this page works even without sending anything to a server.

Will the JPG open on Windows, Android and old devices?

Yes — that is the whole point. JPG has been the universal image format for 30 years: every version of Windows, Android, macOS, browser, email client and upload form opens it without any extra software.
