Convert HEIC to JPG

iPhone photos are saved as HEIC, which Windows and most websites still refuse to open. Convert them here — your photos are decoded by your own device and never leave it.

Loading the tool…

How it works

  1. Drop your .heic or .heif files (a whole folder’s worth is fine).
  2. Pick the output format and quality, and decide whether to keep the EXIF data.
  3. Download the converted photos one by one or as a ZIP.

Why nothing is uploaded

Every operation on this page is done by code running inside your browser tab, using the same engine that renders web pages. The file is read from disk into your tab’s memory, transformed there, and written back out as a download. It is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to a third party.

Verify it yourself

  1. Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and select the Network tab.
  2. Load your file and run the tool.
  3. The only requests you will see are the tool’s own code and, once cached, none at all.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I not want a website that uploads my photos?

Photos carry GPS coordinates, the device name and a timestamp. Uploading a holiday album to a free converter hands all of that to a stranger. Here the decoding runs in your browser, so there is nothing to hand over.

Is the conversion lossy?

HEIC and JPG are both lossy formats, so a re-encode always costs something. At quality 92 the difference is invisible in practice; choose PNG if you want a lossless intermediate, at a much larger file size.

Does it work on an iPhone?

Yes, and it is faster there: Safari can decode HEIC natively, so the tool uses the system decoder and skips the extra download. On Windows and Android it loads a WebAssembly decoder (libheif) once and caches it.

Does it keep the location data?

Your choice. “Keep EXIF” copies the original metadata across; the default strips it, which is usually what you want before sending a photo to someone.
