How to convert HEIC to JPG

- They convert to JPG straight away. Pick PNG or WebP, or change the quality, and they convert again.
- Download each photo, or all of them in one zip.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default since iOS 11. It keeps the same picture as a JPG in about half the space, but Windows, Android, and many websites and forms still can’t open it. Converting to JPG makes a photo open everywhere, at the cost of a somewhat larger file.
JPG, PNG, or WebP?
- JPG is the safe choice: every computer, phone, website, and print shop takes it. At 90% quality it looks the same as the original.
- PNG loses nothing, but a 12-megapixel photo becomes 15 to 25 MB. Use it only when you’ll edit the photo further.
- WebP is smaller than JPG at the same quality and works in browsers and most apps, but some forms and older programs won’t take it.
Need the photo under a size limit, like 1 MB for a form? Convert it here, then compress it to a file size. Need exact pixel dimensions? Use the image resizer.
What happens to the photo’s details?
The converted photo has the same picture, size, and orientation as the original. Hidden details stored with the photo, such as where it was taken, the camera settings, and the date, are left out, which also makes it safer to share. Live Photo motion and depth data stay with the original HEIC.
Stop your iPhone saving HEIC
On your iPhone, open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. To keep HEIC on the phone but send JPG to computers, open Settings → Photos and under Transfer to Mac or PC choose Automatic.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. HEIC photos are converted in your browser on your own device. They are not uploaded, saved, or sent to a server, so private photos stay private.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Open this page in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, drop your HEIC photos in, and download the JPGs. Nothing needs to be installed, and you don’t need the HEIF extensions from the Microsoft Store.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Choose or drop as many photos as you like. They are converted one after another, and Download all saves them together in a single zip file.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
At 90% quality the JPG looks the same as the original. JPG files are usually a little larger than HEIC because the format is older. Choose PNG if you need a copy with no loss at all.
Why is my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?
iPhones save in HEIC by default because it takes about half the space of JPG. To save JPG instead, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible.
Is the location removed from converted photos?
Yes. The converted photo keeps the picture and its orientation but leaves out hidden details such as GPS location, camera settings, and the date taken.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in any current browser. On iPhone, choose the photos from Files to keep them as HEIC; when you pick from the photo library, iOS may already hand the browser a JPG.
