HEIC to JPG Converter

New
Upload your HEIC(s) here
or drag and drop your file (Up to 10 images, max 5 MB each)

This HEIC to JPG converter turns a HEIC photo into a JPG for free, right here in the browser. iPhone and Android users run into this all the time: you snap a photo, send it to a friend or open it on a work PC, and it will not open. This swaps it for a JPG that opens almost everywhere.

How to Convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Add your HEIC files: press Choose Files or drag them into the drop zone. You can convert up to 10 at once, and each file can be up to 5 MB.
  2. Pick the quality (optional): the Quality slider goes from 50% to 100%, and 95% is set by default. Leave it where it is, or lower it if you want a smaller JPG. Each file can also have its own quality using the settings button next to it.
  3. Press Convert All to JPG: every HEIC is turned into a JPG and appears in your queue within a few seconds.
  4. Download: save each JPG on its own, or press Download all to grab the whole batch as a zip.

What Is a HEIC File, and Why Won't It Open?

HEIC is the photo format that iPhones and newer devices save by default to fit more photos in less space. It is a modern, efficient format that stores a picture with high quality at a small size. The catch is that many programs have not caught up. Email it to a Windows machine, drop it into a form, or open it on an older phone and you will often be told the file is not supported.

JPG is the format that has worked everywhere for years, which is why converting is the quick fix. Once it is a JPG, the same picture opens in any viewer, uploads to any form, and drops into any document without a complaint.

The Picture Stays the Same

The photo you see does not change when you convert. It keeps its full width and height, and the colours stay as they were, because the tool simply re-draws the HEIC as a JPG. A see-through background cannot survive, since a JPG has no transparency, so any clear area is filled with plain white.

HEIC already packs photos tightly, so the JPG may come out a little bigger than the HEIC was. That is normal, and it is the price of a file that opens anywhere.

Control the Quality

Every conversion uses a quality between 50% and 100%. At 100% the JPG keeps almost every detail. If a form, email, or uploader caps how big a photo may be, drag the slider down a little and the same picture shrinks in file size while still looking like a photo. You can set one quality for the whole batch, or tap the settings button on any file and change just that one.

What Happens to Your Files?

Your HEIC is sent to our server only to run the conversion, and it is not stored, saved, or kept afterwards. The result is sent straight back to your browser. The conversion endpoint is rate-limited to keep things fair, and nothing you make with the tool is shared with anyone. Close the tab when you are done and there is nothing left behind.

FAQ

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

Yes, it is free with no signup, and the JPG has no watermark.

Why can I not open HEIC files on my computer?

HEIC is widely used on phones but many photo viewers and older programs do not support it yet. Turning the file into a JPG fixes that, because JPG opens on almost anything.

Does converting lower the quality?

A normal convert keeps the quality high. You only lose a little sharpness if you lower the slider and ask for a small size.

Can I convert several HEIC files at once?

Yes, up to 10 in one batch, and you can download them all at once as a zip.
