How to use HEIC to JPG Converter
- Choose your HEIC photosPress Choose HEIC photos or drop them into the box. You can add as many as you like, and add more later with Add more.
- Pick JPG or PNGJPG is chosen already and suits almost every upload. Set the quality, or pick PNG for files with no quality loss.
- DownloadPress Download beside a photo, or Download all (ZIP) to save every converted photo at once.
iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC, a format that many websites, forms, Windows programs and Android phones cannot open. Drop your HEIC photos here and they are converted to JPG, or to PNG if you prefer, in full resolution and the right way up. Convert one photo or a whole batch and download them together as a ZIP. The conversion happens inside your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, and the new files leave out the hidden location data the originals carry.

HEIC, JPG and PNG compared
| Format | File size | Opens on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| HEIC | Small | iPhone, iPad and Mac; many other devices need a converter | Storing photos on Apple devices |

| PNG | Large, several times a JPG | Every phone, computer and website | Editing and design, with no quality loss |
Why a website says it cannot read your iPhone photo
Upload forms for government portals, job applications and online shops usually accept only JPG or PNG. When a HEIC photo is sent from an iPhone, the site either rejects it or shows a broken image. Converting it to JPG first fixes both. If a form also sets a file size in KB, compress the JPG afterwards with Compress Image.

Questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default. It stores photos in less space than JPG, but many websites, Windows programs and Android phones cannot open it.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Open this page in Chrome or Edge, drop the HEIC photos into the box and download the JPG files. There is nothing to install, and it works the same on Mac, Android and Linux.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Choose or drop as many photos as you like. Each one is converted in turn, and Download all (ZIP) saves them together in one file.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
The photo keeps its full resolution. JPG compresses a little differently from HEIC, so at the default quality of 92 the difference is hard to see, and at 100 it is smaller still. Choose PNG if you need no quality loss at all.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are converted inside your browser and never leave your device. That matters for personal photos and pictures of documents.
How do I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?
On the iPhone, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you have already taken stay in HEIC, so convert those here.
Why does the first photo take a few seconds longer?
Most browsers cannot open HEIC by themselves, so the converter is loaded the first time you use it, about 2 MB. After that each photo takes around a second. Safari opens HEIC directly, so it is faster still.
