About HEIC to JPG Conversion
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression to store photos at roughly half the size of a JPG with similar quality.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
Many websites, upload forms, Windows PCs, and older apps still cannot open HEIC. JPG is supported by practically every device and service, so converting makes your photos easy to share, print, and upload.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Drop one or more HEIC photos into the upload area
- Keep JPG as the output format
- Adjust quality or resize if needed (the preview updates instantly)
- Click "Download JPG", or "Download all as ZIP" for several files
Make your iPhone save JPG instead
To skip conversion for future photos, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose "Most Compatible". New photos are saved as JPG, but files are larger than HEIC.
HEIC to JPG FAQ
Common questions about converting HEIC photos to JPG
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The HEIC file is decoded and converted to JPG inside your browser. Your photos never leave your device, which matters for personal pictures.
Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Select or drop up to 30 HEIC photos at once. Each one is converted with the same settings, and you can download them individually or all together as a ZIP file.
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so some detail is always discarded. At the default 90% quality the difference is hard to see. Raise the quality slider for maximum detail or lower it for smaller files.
Is the location and camera data kept?
No. The converted JPG contains only the image pixels. EXIF metadata such as GPS location, date, and camera model is removed, which makes the file safer to share.
Why does the first conversion take a few seconds?
Most browsers cannot read HEIC on their own, so a HEIC decoder (about 3 MB) is downloaded the first time you add a HEIC photo. Safari can read HEIC directly and skips this step.
Can I convert HEIF files too?
Yes. HEIC is a variant of the HEIF format, and both .heic and .heif files are supported.
What about Live Photos?
A Live Photo is stored as a HEIC still image plus a separate video. Add the HEIC file and you get the still image as a JPG.
