HEIC to JPG Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG or PNG locally. Batch mode, adjustable quality.
iPhone's HEIC format gives great quality at smaller sizes but isn't supported on Windows, web forms, or many editors. This converter decodes HEIC entirely in your browser to JPG or PNG. No uploads, batch multiple files at once, adjustable JPG quality.
HEIC is Apple's default iPhone photo format since iOS 11. It stores about 50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality thanks to HEVC compression, but that advantage becomes a problem the moment you need to share, upload, or edit outside Apple's ecosystem. Windows, Android, most web upload forms, Photoshop CS6, and older chat apps either reject HEIC outright or render it blank.
This converter decodes HEIC locally in your browser using a small WebAssembly build of libheif. Drop in one file or a batch, pick JPG (smaller, adjustable quality) or PNG (lossless). Your photos stay on your device — important for personal images you wouldn't want sitting on someone else's server. Multi-image HEIC containers (common with Live Photos or burst shots) get split into numbered frames.
- 1
Select your HEIC files
Choose one or more .heic or .heif files from your computer or phone. Drag-and-drop and multi-select both work.
- 2
Choose format and quality
JPG is best for photos and lets you tune quality between 30% and 100%. PNG is lossless but produces larger files.

Download the converted images
Preview each result, then download individual files. Multi-frame HEIC containers are split automatically.
Sharing iPhone photos with Windows users
Convert HEIC to JPG before emailing or messaging so recipients can actually open the image.
Uploading to older web forms
Many job-application, government, and legacy sites reject HEIC. Convert first, upload second.
Editing in older software
Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5, and older editors don't support HEIC. Convert to PNG for lossless editing.
Migrating photo libraries
Batch-convert an entire folder when moving photos from iPhone to a Windows PC or an Android device.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. HEIC decoding happens entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Files never leave your device.
What's the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container spec. HEIC is a specific variant that uses HEVC compression — the default Apple uses. This tool handles both.
Will converting lose quality?
JPG re-encodes, so slight compression loss is possible. Keep quality at 90%+ for visually lossless results. Choose PNG to avoid any recompression.
Why did my HEIC produce multiple images?
Live Photos, burst shots, and depth-capture HEICs contain multiple frames in one file. This tool extracts each one as a numbered output.
What if my file fails to convert?
Some HEICs (particularly Apple's ProRAW or heavily edited versions) use uncommon codec profiles. Try re-saving the file on your iPhone first, or use the Photos app's 'Most Compatible' export.
