How to convert HEIC to JPG
HEIC is the format iPhones use to save photos. It keeps files small, but it often won’t open on Windows PCs, older programs, or some websites. This tool converts HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG — which opens everywhere — or to PNG if you need transparency. Drag and drop or click to add many photos at once.
Choose JPG or PNG as the output, and for JPG use the quality slider to balance size and clarity. For photos, 80–90 is usually hard to tell from the original while cutting file size a lot. When conversion finishes, save each photo from the list, or use “Download all” at the bottom to get everything in a single ZIP.
Everything runs inside your browser and your photos are never sent to a server, so even portraits or sensitive images are safe to convert. Because most browsers can’t decode iPhone HEIC natively, the first decode takes a moment — but once a photo is decoded, changing format or quality re-encodes instantly.
Frequently asked questions
Why will my iPhone photos not open on Windows?
Because they are saved as HEIC, and Windows and most desktop programs do not read that format out of the box. You can install a codec, but if the photo is going to someone else or onto a website, converting to JPG saves you the trouble every time.
Why does the iPhone use HEIC instead of JPG?
It stores the same quality in roughly half the space, which adds up quickly on a phone holding thousands of photos. The trade-off is compatibility: the moment a file leaves the Apple ecosystem for an older program or another device, it often will not open.
How do I make my iPhone shoot JPG from the start?
Open Settings, tap Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. Every photo from then on is saved as JPG. Shots you already took stay in HEIC, so convert those here. The only cost is that JPG files take up more space on the phone.
Does converting reduce the image quality?
JPG is lossy, so in theory something is given up, but at a quality of 80–90 the difference is hard to see. The slider here defaults to 88 and runs from 10 to 100. If you want no loss at all, save as PNG instead and accept the larger file.
Do the date and location stay on the converted photo?
No. The image is redrawn through a browser canvas before saving, which drops the EXIF block entirely, including capture time, camera model and GPS coordinates. That is helpful when sharing publicly, but keep the original HEIC files if you want those records.
Can I convert several photos at once?
Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they are converted one after another. Save them individually from the list, or use the button at the bottom to download everything as a single ZIP. Each file can be up to 50MB, and all processing stays in your browser.
