How to use the HEIC to JPG Converter

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because the format takes roughly half the space of a JPG. The catch is compatibility: many Windows apps, websites, and upload forms still reject HEIC files. Converting to JPG fixes that. This tool decodes the HEIC in your browser, so personal photos are never sent to a server.

  1. 1Drop your .heic or .heif photo onto the converter or click to choose it.
  2. 2Select JPG as the target format.
  3. 3Click convert — decoding a HEIC file can take a few seconds.
  4. 4Download the JPG and share or upload it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is the file type Apple uses for photos in the HEIF format. It stores images with more efficient compression than JPEG, which is why iPhones use it by default.

Why can’t I open HEIC files on Windows?

Windows does not ship with HEIC support in every app, and many programs and websites have never added it. Converting the photo to JPG is the most reliable fix.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

Open Settings, go to Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG, at the cost of larger files.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The HEIC file is decoded and converted locally in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
