What This Tool Does

Convert Apple's HEIC and HEIF photos to JPEG without uploading them anywhere. The converter uses a WebAssembly build of libheif to decode HEIC files entirely inside your browser, then re-encodes them as JPEG at your chosen quality. Drop in dozens of files at once and download the converted set as a single ZIP. Perfect for Windows users who can't open iPhone photos, anyone sharing photos with non-Apple recipients, web publishing workflows, and importing iPhone photos into editors that don't yet read HEIC.

When to Use This Tool

Convert HEIC to JPEG when you need to share photos with Windows users, post to a website or CMS that doesn't accept HEIC (still most CMSes), or open files in older photo editors. If the destination is a modern website you control, consider converting to WebP or AVIF instead — both offer better compression than JPEG. Keep your HEIC originals in iCloud Photos as the master copy; HEIC stores roughly half the bytes of an equivalent JPEG at the same visual quality and is what your phone is optimized for.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Add your HEIC files

    Drop iPhone photos straight from a connected device or Files app. The converter accepts both .heic and .heif extensions.

  2. 2

    Choose JPEG quality

    85 is a good default. Use 90 to 95 if the photo will be printed or further edited; 75 to 80 is enough for casual sharing.

  3. 3

    Convert in batch

    All files decode and re-encode in your browser. There is no per-file size or daily limit — large albums work fine but may take a moment on slower devices.

  4. 4

    Download as JPEG or ZIP

    Save individual JPEGs, or grab the entire batch as a ZIP archive. Original HEIC files are not modified.

Privacy First — No Uploads

Your images are processed entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded to any server. Once you close the tab, all data is gone. No tracking, no storage, no cookies for your files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I open HEIC files on Windows?

Windows doesn't include HEIC support by default. Converting to JPG is the simplest, free workaround.

Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?

At quality settings of 85% or higher, the difference is virtually imperceptible. JPEG is a lossy format, so some minimal quality reduction occurs.

Can I convert HEIC photos with Live Photo or depth data?

Yes, but Live Photo motion and depth maps are not supported by JPEG and will be discarded. Keep the HEIC original if those features matter to you.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and re-encoding happen entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Photos never leave your device.

Is there a maximum batch size?

There's no hard cap, but very large batches (100+ photos) may exhaust browser memory on mobile. Process 30-50 at a time on phones.

Pro Tips

  • HEIC stores depth maps and Live Photo motion data that JPEG cannot represent. If those matter, keep the HEIC source as well.
  • Set your iPhone to 'Most Compatible' under Settings → Camera → Formats to capture JPEG directly. The trade-off is roughly 2x larger files for the same quality.
  • EXIF data including capture date and GPS coordinates is preserved during conversion. Use the Metadata tool afterwards if you want to strip GPS before sharing publicly.
  • If your photos look slightly different after conversion, the cause is almost always color profile handling. JPEG stores sRGB by default; HEIC often uses Display P3. The converter applies the right ICC profile automatically.
