Convert HEIC to JPG
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into universally-supported JPG files. The HEIC is decoded locally in your browser and re-saved as JPG — nothing is uploaded, and you can convert a whole album at once.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
Why your iPhone shoots HEIC
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) instead of JPG. Apple made the switch because HEIC stores the same photo at roughly half the file size, which means twice the pictures in the same storage. The catch: outside the Apple ecosystem, support is patchy — older Windows versions, many Android apps, web forms and office software often refuse to open it.
What converting to JPG changes
JPG has been the universal photo format since the 1990s — every device, browser, printer and upload form accepts it. Converting re-encodes the HEIC’s pixels as JPG at high quality; the visual difference is invisible for normal photos, though the file gets somewhat larger. Your original HEIC stays untouched on your device, so nothing is lost.
Converted in your browser, not on a server
Photos from your camera roll are about as personal as files get, so this converter never uploads them. A HEIC decoder runs inside your browser, decodes each photo on your own device and re-saves it as JPG. Drop in a whole album and batch-convert it — even offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
- Why won’t my HEIC photos open on Windows or the web?
- HEIC is Apple’s format and isn’t supported everywhere. Converting to JPG makes the photos open on any device, browser or app.
- Is quality lost converting HEIC to JPG?
- JPG is lossy, but at high quality the difference is invisible. The pixels are decoded and re-encoded locally — your originals are untouched.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. HEIC decoding and JPG encoding both run in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
