HEIC to JPG Converter

What is HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones running iOS 11 and later. It uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard — the same container used for Apple's Live Photos and Portrait mode depth maps. Apple switched to HEIC because it produces files roughly half the size of equivalent JPEG photos at the same perceived quality.

Why do HEIC files cause problems?

Windows doesn't open HEIC files without the paid Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions codec ($0.99 in the Store). Google Photos, WhatsApp, most email clients, and the majority of web apps that accept image uploads expect JPEG or PNG. If you've ever AirDropped photos from your iPhone and found the files unreadable on a Windows PC or Android phone, HEIC is why.

How this tool works

This tool uses heic2any, an open-source library that decodes HEIC/HEIF in the browser using a WebAssembly-compiled version of libheif. The entire conversion runs locally — files never leave your device. You can batch-convert up to 20 files at once. Each file is decoded, re-encoded as JPEG at your chosen quality, and made available for download individually or all at once.

Batch conversion

Upload multiple HEIC files at once. The tool processes them sequentially and gives each output file the same base name with a .jpg extension. Download them one by one or click Download All to grab everything.

Privacy

Your photos are processed entirely in the browser. Nothing is uploaded. The conversion library runs as WebAssembly code inside your browser tab. Closing the tab discards everything.
