An iPhone photo as a HEIC file, 1.1 MB — The same photo before and after converting, shown here as smaller previews. The picture does not change; only the file format does, so it opens everywhere.

The same photo converted to JPG, 1.6 MB at full size (smaller preview shown) — The same photo before and after converting, shown here as smaller previews. The picture does not change; only the file format does, so it opens everywhere.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

iPhones save photos as HEIC files, which many Windows programs, websites and Android apps cannot open (what is a HEIC file?). Converting HEIC to JPG gives you a file that opens everywhere.

Add one photo or a whole batch, and the conversion starts on its own. Each photo shows its JPG size when it is done, with a Download button. With two or more photos you can download them all as a single ZIP file. Photos come out the right way up, even if your iPhone saved them sideways with a rotation note.

The first time you add a HEIC photo, your browser downloads the converter once (about 1.5 MB). After that, photos convert in about a second each on a normal computer.

Keep or remove the photo’s location

Photos taken with location services on carry the exact spot where they were taken, plus the date and the phone model. Anyone you send the file to can read that location.

The Remove location box is ticked by default. The JPG then keeps the date and camera details, but the location is removed completely. Untick the box if you want to keep the location, for example for your own photo archive.

PNG files made by this tool carry no photo details at all.

HEIC vs JPG: what changes when you convert

Compatibility: JPG opens in every browser, program, phone and upload form. HEIC does not.
File size: HEIC stores a photo in roughly half the space of a JPG of similar quality, so your JPGs will usually be bigger than the HEIC files. If you need small files, open Advanced options and tick “Limit file size”, or use the image compressor afterwards.
Quality: at the default 90 % quality the difference is not visible on a screen.
Live Photos and bursts: only the main still photo is converted.

Converting on iPhone, Mac or Windows without a tool

iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes new photos JPG. Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC → Automatic converts photos when you copy them to a computer with a cable.
Mac: open the photo in Preview, choose File → Export, and pick JPEG as the format.
Windows: after installing the HEIF and HEVC extensions from the Microsoft Store, open the photo in Paint and choose Save as → JPEG picture.
Android and Chromebook: there is usually no built-in way, so this page is the quickest option.

These work well for a few photos. For many photos at once, or to remove the location first, use the converter above. Step-by-step instructions for each system are in our guide how to convert HEIC to JPG on iPhone, Mac, Windows and Android.

Why it is safe: nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs inside your browser, on your phone or computer. Your photos are never uploaded to our server or anyone else’s, and nothing is stored after you close the page. The converter itself is open-source software (libheif), loaded from this website.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

Very little. JPG is saved at 90 % quality by default, and at that level you will not see a difference on a screen. The JPG is often larger than the HEIC file, because HEIC is the more efficient format. You can change the quality under Advanced options.

How do I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Select or drop up to 30 HEIC photos together. Each one is converted on its own, and "Download all (ZIP)" saves every JPG in one file. Photos with the same name get -2, -3 added so none is overwritten.

How do I stop my iPhone from saving photos as HEIC?

On the iPhone, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose "Most Compatible". New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you already took stay HEIC, so convert those here.

Can I open HEIC files on Windows?

Windows can show HEIC photos after you install the "HEIF Image Extensions" and "HEVC Video Extensions" from the Microsoft Store (the HEVC one may cost a small fee). Converting the photos to JPG here works without installing anything.

Is it safe to convert HEIC files online?

On this page, yes: your photos are converted inside your own browser and are never uploaded. Many other converters send your photos to their servers. Check the page you use before adding private photos.
