What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11 in 2017. It stores photos at about half the size of a JPG with similar quality, but many Windows programs, older Android phones and websites cannot open it. Converting to JPG fixes that.
How do I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?
Open Settings, tap Camera, then Formats, and choose "Most Compatible". New photos will be saved as JPG. Existing photos stay HEIC, so convert those here.
Is it safe to convert HEIC files here?
Yes. The converter is a small program that runs inside your web browser. Your HEIC files are read and converted on your own computer or phone, and nothing is sent to our servers. You can check this by turning off your internet connection after the page loads: the converter still works.
Questions people ask
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Open this page in Chrome or Edge, drop your HEIC photos into the box and press Convert. No app or extension is needed.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your HEIC files never leave your device. That makes it safe for private photos and documents.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many HEIC files as you like and they are all converted to JPG in one go. Press "Download all" to save them together as a ZIP file.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
Very little. With the default High setting the JPG looks the same to the eye, though the file is usually larger than the HEIC. Choose Maximum for the best possible quality.
Are my photos rotated correctly?
Yes. The converter reads the rotation your iPhone saved with each photo, so every JPG comes out the right way up.
Are Live Photos supported?
Yes, the still image of a Live Photo is converted to JPG. The short video part is not included.
