What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default. The name comes from High Efficiency Image Container, and it is based on the HEIF standard. It stores photos in less space than JPG while keeping similar quality, which is why Apple adopted it.
The problem is support. Many websites, older Windows computers, Android apps and photo printing services still cannot open HEIC files. Converting to JPG fixes that, because JPG opens almost everywhere.

Questions people ask
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs inside your web browser using code that downloads with the page. Your photos are read from your device, converted in memory and saved back to your device. They are never sent to us or anyone else.
Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?
Yes. There is no sign up, no watermark and no daily limit.
How many photos can I convert at once?
As many as you like. Photos are converted one after another, and you can download them one by one or all together in a single ZIP file. Very large batches depend on how much memory your device has.
Will the JPG lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so a tiny amount of detail is always lost. On the High setting the difference is very hard to see. Choose Smaller file if you need to email or upload lots of photos.
Why is my JPG bigger than the HEIC file?
HEIC compresses photos more efficiently than JPG, so the same photo often takes more space as a JPG. Pick Medium or Smaller file to reduce the size.
Does it keep the photo date and location?
No. The JPG is created fresh from the image pixels, so hidden details such as GPS location, camera model and the date taken are removed. This is good for privacy when you share photos online.
Does it work on iPhone, Android and Windows?
Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing needs to be installed.
Can I stop my iPhone from saving HEIC photos?
Yes. Open Settings, tap Camera, tap Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos will then be saved as JPG. Photos you already took stay in HEIC, and you can convert them here.
What if a file will not convert?
Check that it is a HEIC or HEIF photo. Some files are renamed JPGs or use a newer format we cannot read yet. If a real HEIC photo fails, email us and we will look into it.
