How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Drop your HEIC photos into the box above, or click it to choose files. You can select hundreds at once — there is no limit.
- Pick a quality level and choose what happens to your photo metadata (keep everything, remove GPS location, or strip it all).
- Download converted photos individually, or grab the whole batch as a ZIP.
Conversion happens instantly on your own device, so there is no upload wait — a batch of twenty photos typically finishes in a few seconds.
Why are my iPhone photos HEIC files?
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) by default because it stores the same quality at roughly half the file size of JPEG. The catch: many Windows PCs, older programs, upload forms, and websites still expect JPG, so HEIC photos can show up as unopenable files. Converting to JPG makes them work everywhere.
You can also stop your iPhone shooting HEIC entirely: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. But for the photos you already have, converting is the quickest fix.
Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows 10 & 11
Windows does not fully support HEIC out of the box — opening one often prompts you to buy a codec from the Microsoft Store, and photo transfers from iPhone sometimes deliver HEIC even when "Most Compatible" is switched on. You do not need to install anything: this converter runs in any modern browser on Windows 10 or 11 (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). Drop the files in, download JPGs, done.
It works the same way on a Mac, a Chromebook, or Linux — anywhere a browser runs.
Is it safe to convert HEIC online?
With most online converters, "convert" really means upload: your photos are sent to the company's servers, processed there, and stored for some period you cannot verify. For family photos, documents, or anything with embedded GPS locations, that is a real privacy trade-off.
This tool works differently: the conversion engine (the same open-source libheif library Apple's format is built on, compiled to WebAssembly) runs inside your browser. Your photos never cross the network — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and conversion still works. That is not a policy promise; it is how the tool is built.
Keep or remove EXIF data — your choice
Most converters silently strip photo metadata: the date a photo was taken, the camera model, and GPS coordinates all vanish. That ruins photo-library sorting later. This converter preserves EXIF metadata by default, including the original date — and if you would rather share photos without revealing where they were taken, one click removes just the GPS location while keeping everything else.
Frequently asked questions
Is this converter really free and unlimited?
Yes. Because conversion runs on your device rather than on our servers, there is no per-file cost to us — so there are no daily caps, no file-count limits, no watermarks, and no account required.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes — select or drop as many as you like. Files convert in parallel using several processor cores, and you can download the whole batch as a single ZIP.
Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
JPG re-encoding always involves some compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is imperceptible for normal use. You can raise quality to 100% for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
What is the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF is the image format standard; HEIC is Apple's container for HEIF images. In practice the names are used interchangeably, and this tool converts both (.heic and .heif files).
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing — not the photo, not a thumbnail, not the metadata — is sent to any server. You can even go offline after the page loads and keep converting.
Does it work on Mac and mobile?
Yes — it runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. (On a Mac you can also export JPGs from Preview, but batch converting here is usually faster.)
