HEIC to JPG Converter
iPhones save photos as HEIC, a format Windows, Android, and most upload forms cannot read. This converter decodes HEIC in your browser and outputs a standard JPG — your photo never leaves your device, which matters when the photo is your ID or your family. Drop a .heic file below.
100% private — this tool runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions
Why do my iPhone photos not open on Windows?
Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), which halves file sizes but is not supported by older Windows versions and many apps and websites. Converting to JPG makes the photo universally readable.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
A small, generally invisible amount — this converter re-encodes at 92% JPEG quality. The JPG will be somewhat larger in file size than the HEIC, because HEIC compresses more efficiently.
Can I stop my iPhone from using HEIC?
Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → choose "Most Compatible" to shoot JPG directly. Keep "High Efficiency" if storage matters and convert only the photos you need to share.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG for free without downloading software?
Use the converter at the top of this page — it runs entirely in your web browser, so there's nothing to install, no signup, and no watermark. Drop the .heic file, and the JPG downloads in seconds. It works on Windows, Mac, Android, and Chromebooks.
How do I open a HEIC file on Windows 11?
Windows 11 can open HEIC after installing the free 'HEIF Image Extensions' from the Microsoft Store (sometimes the HEVC video extension is also required). If you just need the photo usable everywhere, converting it to JPG here is faster and needs no extensions.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files to JPG at once?
This page converts one file at a time for instant results. For a batch, run files one after another — each takes about a second — or use our bulk image compressor for many files with a size target.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on iPhone directly?
Open the photo in the Files or Photos app, tap Share → and choose an option that exports a copy (sharing to Mail or WhatsApp auto-converts to JPG). Or simply open this page in Safari and convert — it works on iPhone too.
Is HEIC better than JPG?
For storage, yes — HEIC files are roughly half the size of JPG at the same quality, which is why Apple made it the default. For compatibility, JPG wins everywhere: every website, app, and device opens it. Shoot in HEIC to save space, convert to JPG when you need to share or upload.
