HEIC to JPG Converter

Why convert HEIC to JPG?

iPhone photos default to HEIC since iOS 11. JPG is the universal sharing format — it opens on every Windows machine, every Android phone, every email client, and every web upload form ever made. Expect the converted JPG to be roughly 2× the size of the source HEIC at the same visual quality, which is the cost of universal compatibility.

About HEIC and JPG

HEIC is Apple's iPhone-default photo format, which stores roughly twice the photo in the same file size as JPG. It works in native on iPhone and Mac, but blocked or broken on most Windows, Android, and web upload flows, and is best suited for iPhone storage — but you almost always need to convert it before sharing. JPG is a lossy compressed format that produces small files for photographs. It works in every browser, OS, image editor, email client, and printing service ever made, and is best suited for photographs and complex color images headed to email, social media, or print.

Quality and file size

Both HEIC and JPG use lossy compression, so the conversion involves decoding the source and re-encoding into the target format. Some quality is lost in re-encoding — usually negligible at high quality settings, but it's a one-way street. Keep the original HEIC if you might need to convert again later.

Transparency and backgrounds

Neither HEIC nor JPG stores transparency for standard photos, so this is a straightforward photo-format conversion — no transparency-related surprises.

Privacy: where the conversion happens

The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the built-in canvas encoders. Your HEIC files are never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never logged. That matters when you're converting passports, IDs, medical scans, financial documents, or anything else you wouldn't paste into a stranger's web form. Drop in dozens of files at once — there's no per-file count, no quota, and no watermark on the output.
