Convert iPhone HEIC photos to universal JPG format. Batch convert, preserve quality, works on any device.
Supports HEIC, HEIF and more
Files are processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Every iPhone since iOS 11 saves photos as HEIC by default — Apple chose it because HEIC files take roughly half the space of JPG at the same quality. The trade is compatibility: Windows without extra extensions, older Android devices, most smart TVs, older photo editors, and many website upload forms still refuse .heic files. If your photos show as unsupported files, converting HEIC to JPG makes them instantly openable everywhere.
Quality-wise the conversion is nearly transparent. HEIC compression is technically superior, so converting to JPG at quality 90 or above preserves what your iPhone captured with no visible loss. Note that Apple offers a built-in option to send photos as JPG automatically (Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC), and switching the camera to Most Compatible captures new photos as JPG — but for the photos already in your camera roll, converting in the browser is the quickest route, with files processed locally and never uploaded.
HEIC uses HEVC video compression for still images, achieving smaller file sizes than JPG at similar quality. The converter decodes the HEIC data and re-encodes it as a standard JPG file that works everywhere.
Getting Started
Drag and drop your file into the converter, or click to browse. Supports HEIC, HEIF and more.
Configure output settings like quality, size, and format options. Defaults work well for most use cases.
Click "Convert" and your JPG file is ready in seconds. Free, unlimited, no account required.
Windows PCs: without the HEIF extensions installed from the Microsoft Store, HEIC photos will not open — JPG removes the dependency.
Website and portal uploads: forms that accept only standard formats take the JPG version without errors.
Sharing with clients and family: recipients on any device can open a JPG; not everyone has HEIC support.
Older editors and apps: software predating HEIC support works again once photos are converted.
FAQ
Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC format because it produces smaller files than JPG while maintaining the same quality. You can change this in Settings → Camera → Formats.
There is minimal quality loss — HEIC and JPG both use lossy compression. At the default quality setting, the difference is not visible.
Since iOS 11 (2017), iPhones capture photos in HEIC by default because it halves storage use at equal quality. Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible switches new captures to JPG.
Visually, no — converting at quality 90 or higher preserves what the iPhone captured. Technically JPG is the less efficient format, so file sizes typically grow by 30 to 80 percent.
Yes for typical prints. HEIC photos from recent iPhones carry plenty of resolution; a quality-90 JPG conversion prints cleanly at standard photo sizes up to A4 and beyond.
