How to Convert HEIC to JPG
iPhones save photos as HEIC files to save space, but many websites, apps, and Windows computers can't open them. The fix is to convert HEIC to JPG — and you can do it free, in your browser, with the image converter. Your photos never leave your device.
Quick steps: open the converter → drop in your .heic file → choose JPG → click Convert → Download. Done, nothing uploaded.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format Apple uses for photos on modern iPhones and iPads. It stores great-looking images at about half the size of JPG. The downside is compatibility: HEIC often won't open on Windows, on older devices, or when you upload it to websites and forms — which is why converting to the universal JPG format is so common.
Convert HEIC to JPG (step by step)
- 1. Open the image converter.
- 2. Drag in your HEIC photo, or tap to browse and select it. (You can add several at once.)
- 3. Choose JPG as the output format.
- 4. Click Convert, then Download each file — or "Download all."
Everything happens on your own device, so even personal photos stay private.
On iPhone, Mac, and Windows
Because the converter runs in the browser, it works the same on any device — an iPhone, an iPad, a Mac, or a Windows PC. There's nothing to install. On iPhone you can even stop the problem at the source: go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose "Most Compatible" to shoot in JPG instead of HEIC going forward.
Common questions
Does converting lose quality?
JPG is lossy, but at a high quality setting the difference is essentially invisible. Use the quality slider to balance file size against clarity.
Is it really free and private?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no watermark, and your images are converted locally in your browser — they are never uploaded to a server.
