Convert Apple HEIC photos into universally supported JPG images, right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads have saved photos in by default since iOS 11. It fits great quality into a small file, which is exactly why Apple likes it, but Windows, most websites, older Android phones, and plenty of apps still cannot open it. Converting to JPG fixes that, because JPG opens on essentially every device, browser, and upload form there is.
Using the tool is quick. Drop one or more HEIC files onto the box, or click to pick them from your camera roll. Set the quality slider, where 90 percent or above keeps the result looking identical to the original. Press convert and each photo comes back as a JPG. Convert several at once and they download together as a single zip, so you are not saving files one by one.
JPG uses lossy compression, so there is always a trade between file size and fine detail. From 90 to 100 percent the difference is invisible to the eye, which is the range to use for photos you want to print or keep. Drop to 70 to 80 percent when you mainly need smaller files for email or the web. Your original HEIC is only read, never changed, so you can redo the conversion at a different quality any time.
It helps to know what HEIC gives up. HEIC stores richer color and can hold extras like Live Photos and depth information that JPG simply does not carry. If your photos never leave Apple devices, keeping HEIC saves storage. Convert to JPG the moment a file needs to travel somewhere else, whether that is a Windows PC, a web form, a print shop, or a friend on Android who just sees an error.
The everyday reasons people reach for this are pretty consistent. Emailing iPhone photos to someone whose computer will not open them. Uploading to a site or job application that rejects HEIC. Sending images to a print service that wants JPG. Or freeing up space by moving a camera roll into a format every backup tool understands. All of it happens on your own device.
Under the hood the tool decodes HEIC with a small codec that loads the first time you use it, then re-encodes each image as JPG using your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and there is no watermark or hard file limit beyond your device's own memory. Large batches of high-resolution photos just take a little longer to finish.
HEIC is Apple's photo format, and Windows, many websites, and older Android phones do not support it, so the file shows an error or a blank thumbnail. Converting to JPG makes the same photo open everywhere, from email attachments to upload forms, in seconds and on your own device.
JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is always traded for a smaller file, but at 90 percent or higher the change is invisible in normal viewing and printing. The original HEIC is only read, never altered, so you can always convert again at a higher setting if you want.
Yes. Select as many HEIC files as you like and they convert together, then download as a single zip so you are not clicking save on each one. Everything runs in the browser, so even a large batch stays private and never touches a server.
Most camera metadata, including GPS location, is not carried into the JPG. For photos you plan to share or upload that is usually a good thing, because it quietly strips your location. If you need the original EXIF details, keep a copy of the HEIC file alongside the JPG.
Stay between 90 and 100 percent for photos you will print, edit, or archive, since that keeps the result visually identical to the original. Use 70 to 80 percent when the goal is a smaller file for email or a web page and a small loss of detail does not matter.
HEIF is the container format, and HEIC is the version of it that Apple uses with HEVC image compression. In practice they are the same thing to most people, and this tool reads both .heic and .heif files and converts either one to JPG.
Yes. Every conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, and there is no sign-up, no watermark, and no cap on how many files you convert. The only limit is your own device's memory on very large batches.
