How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Drag your HEIC photos into the box above, or click Choose files. You can select multiple photos at once.
- Conversion starts automatically and takes a second or two per photo — everything happens on your own device.
- Download each JPG individually, or grab them all at once with Download all as ZIP.
Why can't I open HEIC files?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) has been the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the file size of JPG with the same quality — great for your phone's storage, but frustrating everywhere else. Windows often can't preview HEIC files without a paid codec, older Android devices don't recognize them, and many websites, printing services, and office applications only accept JPG or PNG.
Converting to JPG solves this instantly: JPG is supported by virtually every device, app, and website built in the last 25 years.
Why this converter is different
Most online converters upload your photos to their servers, convert them there, and send them back. That means your personal photos travel across the internet to a company you know nothing about. This tool works differently: the conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your device's own processor. Your photos never leave your computer or phone — you can even switch off your Wi-Fi after the page loads, and it will keep working.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens locally in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, and we couldn't see them even if we wanted to.
Is there a limit on the number of files or file size?
No hard limits. Because your own device does the work, the only constraint is your device's memory. For very large batches (hundreds of photos), we recommend converting around 50 at a time.
Does converting reduce quality?
JPG uses compression, but at the default 90% quality setting the difference is invisible in normal use. If you need lossless output, choose PNG in the format selector.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — the converter works on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, in any modern browser.
What about Live Photos and burst photos?
HEIC files that contain multiple images (like bursts) are converted too — each embedded image is extracted as a separate JPG.
