Overview

``text HEIC to JPG converts the photos your iPhone or iPad saves in Apple's HEIC/HEIF format into JPG, which opens everywhere. Drop in one file or a whole batch, choose the quality, keep or strip EXIF data, auto-fix orientation, and download each photo or the whole set as a ZIP — all in your browser. ``

```text HEIC is the format Apple uses by default on iPhones and iPads. It saves space, but it doesn't open everywhere — Windows, older Android phones, and many websites can't read it. Converting to JPG fixes that, so you can share, upload, or edit your photos anywhere.

This converter does it without uploading anything. Your photos are decoded and converted right in your browser, so they never leave your device — which matters for personal pictures. Add your HEIC files, adjust the settings, and download the JPGs individually or as a single ZIP. ```

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting HEIC to JPG safe and private here?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using a JavaScript HEIC decoder, so your photos are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. Nothing is stored after you close the tab. That's important for personal photos — your images and any location data in them stay with you, and conversion is fast because there's no upload.

Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?

JPG is a lossy format, so there's always a tiny change in the data. In practice the default 90% quality produces a result that looks identical to the original to the human eye. If you need maximum detail for printing or further editing, push the quality slider up to 100%. For truly lossless output, convert to PNG instead with the HEIC to PNG tool.

What happens to Live Photos or burst shots?

A HEIC file is a container that can hold extra frames or depth data. This converter extracts the main, full-resolution still image and converts that to JPG — it doesn't pull out every individual burst frame or the Live Photo motion. For most sharing and uploading needs the primary image is exactly what you want.

Does it keep the photo's date, camera, and location (EXIF)?

Yes, if you want it to. "Preserve EXIF Data" is on by default, so details like the date taken, camera model, and GPS location carry over to the JPG. That's useful for organising photos — but if you're sharing them publicly, turn the toggle off to strip that data, including the location where the photo was taken.

What does Auto Orientation do?

iPhone photos store an orientation tag instead of physically rotating the pixels, which is why some images appear sideways on other devices. With "Auto Orientation" on, the converter reads that tag and outputs the JPG the right way up, so your photos look correct everywhere. Leave it on unless you have a specific reason to keep the raw orientation.

Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop in a whole batch — there's no artificial limit — and they're converted locally one after another. You can download each JPG from its card, or click "Download All as ZIP" to save the entire set in a single folder. Bulk conversion is the fastest way to handle a camera roll full of iPhone photos.

Why won't my HEIC files open on Windows or Android?

HEIC is Apple's format, and many systems don't support it out of the box — Windows needs an extra codec, older Android phones can't read it, and lots of websites reject it on upload. Converting to JPG sidesteps all of that, because JPG is supported virtually everywhere, from email and social media to old and new devices alike.

What is HEIC, and how is it different from HEIF?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's name for images stored using the HEIF standard. They're essentially the same thing — HEIF is the underlying format, and .heic is the file extension Apple uses. This tool accepts both .heic and .heif files and converts them to JPG the same way.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG on my iPhone or Android phone?

Yes. The converter runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can convert photos directly on iOS or Android. It's handy when you need to upload an iPhone photo to a site that rejects HEIC, or send one to someone on a non-Apple device — just open the page, add the photo, and download the JPG.

Is there a limit on file size or number of files?

There's no fixed cap or paywall, because nothing is uploaded — the work happens on your device. The practical limit is your phone or computer's memory. A large batch of high-resolution photos uses more memory and is smoother on a computer, but everyday conversions of a handful of images run quickly even on a phone.

Should I convert to JPG or PNG?

Choose JPG for photographs you'll share or upload — it's small and universally supported. Choose PNG when you need lossless quality or a transparent background, which photos rarely have but graphics do. For most iPhone snapshots, JPG is the right call; if you specifically need lossless output, use the HEIC to PNG converter instead.

Do I need to install any app or Apple software?

No. There's nothing to download or install, and no account to create. The whole tool runs in your web browser, on any operating system, so you don't need Apple software, a Windows codec pack, or a desktop converter. Open the page, add your HEIC files, and convert.
