Free HEIC to JPG converter

1. Add your HEIC photos. Drag and drop them onto the box above, or click to browse. You can convert a single photo or an entire batch from an iPhone export or AirDrop transfer.
2. Choose JPG or PNG. JPG is the right pick for almost everyone — smaller files, universal support. Pick PNG only if you specifically need a lossless, uncompressed copy.
3. Set the quality (JPG only). 80–90% keeps photos looking sharp while shrinking the file size well below the original HEIC.
4. Download. Grab each converted photo with its own download button, or use Download all to save the whole batch at once.

Because the conversion happens on your device, there are no upload limits, no waiting on a server queue, and no watermark on your photos — just JPGs you can open, share, or upload anywhere.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones running iOS 11 and later. Apple switched to HEIC because it uses the HEIF compression standard, which stores photos at roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPG with no visible loss in quality — great for saving space on your phone and in iCloud.

The catch is compatibility. HEIC never became a universal web standard the way JPG did, so a lot of software still can't open it: most Windows photo viewers, many Android devices, older browsers, some email clients, and plenty of upload forms on job boards, e-commerce platforms, and content management systems will simply reject a .heic file or show a broken-image icon. Converting to convert HEIC to JPG (or JPEG, the same format) fixes that instantly, because JPG is supported by essentially every device, app, and website in existence.

Once you convert an iPhone photo to JPG, should you ever use PNG instead? Here's how the three formats compare:

The short version: convert to JPG for everyday sharing, uploading to websites, printing, and email. Only choose PNG if you need a perfectly lossless copy or plan to edit the image further and want to avoid re-compressing it. Once you have JPGs, you can also run them through our image compressor to shrink them even further for the web.

• Universal compatibility. JPG opens on every operating system, browser, and device without a plugin — no more “this file can't be opened” errors on Windows or Android.
• Uploads that actually work. Job application portals, e-commerce listings, CMS media libraries, and social platforms frequently reject HEIC outright. A quick heic to jpeg conversion clears that hurdle every time.
• Easier sharing and editing. Most photo editors, presentation tools, and messaging apps on non-Apple platforms handle JPG natively, so you skip extra conversion steps down the line.
• Safer archiving. JPG has been a stable, backward-compatible format for decades — a good bet for photos you want to be able to open in ten years, regardless of what software exists then.

Before you can convert an iphone photo to jpg, you need to get the HEIC files onto the device you're using this tool from. A few common ways:

• AirDrop to a Mac, then drag the files from Finder into the drop zone above.
• Cable transfer — plug the iPhone into a PC or Mac and copy photos from the Photos app or the DCIM folder in File Explorer/Finder.
• Cloud sync — download originals from iCloud Photos, Google Photos, or Dropbox onto your computer.
• Email or messaging apps — some apps auto-convert to JPG on send, which skips this tool entirely; others preserve the original HEIC, in which case you can convert it here after downloading the attachment.

Once the .heic or .heif files are saved locally, drag them into the converter above — no need to change your iPhone's camera settings first.

Yes. Unlike most online converters that upload your photos to a server for processing, this tool decodes and converts HEIC files entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device, nothing is stored or logged, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. That makes it safe to use for personal photos, family pictures, and any images you'd rather not upload to an unknown third-party server.

• iPhone users sharing photos with Windows or Android friends and family who can't open HEIC files.
• Job seekers uploading a headshot or ID photo to an application portal that only accepts JPG or PNG.
• Online sellers adding iPhone product photos to Shopify, Etsy, eBay, or Amazon listings that reject HEIC uploads.
• Bloggers and marketers converting phone photos to JPG before uploading them to a website or CMS.
• Photographers and freelancers delivering client photos in a universally viewable format.
• Anyone printing photos at a lab or kiosk that only accepts JPG files.

• Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics. Real photographs compress extremely well as JPG with no visible quality loss at 80–90%.
• Batch convert your whole camera roll export at once instead of one photo at a time — drop the whole folder onto the tool.
• Keep your originals. HEIC files are smaller and lossless-ish for storage; keep the source and convert working copies as needed.
• Lower the quality slider for email attachments — 70–75% JPG quality is usually enough to slip under strict attachment size limits.
• Turn off HEIC at the source (optional). On iPhone, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible to shoot JPG directly and skip conversion for future photos.

If you need to change the dimensions of your converted photos rather than just the format, pair this with our image resizer to get exactly the pixel size you need.
