How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Select Choose files, or drag your HEIC files onto the box. You can also paste an image.
- Wait a moment. Each file converts on your device, and a progress bar shows the status.
- Select Download for a single file, or Download all (ZIP) when you convert several at once.
No account is needed, and there is no limit on how many files you convert.
Why convert HEIC to JPG
iPhones save photos as HEIC, a compact format many Windows apps, websites and email services cannot open. Converting gives you a file that works in the place you need it. Because the conversion runs inside your browser, your files are never uploaded, so private photos and documents stay private. The conversion needs no server at all.
About the formats
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) stores photos at about half the size of JPG at similar quality. The output format is JPG. JPG opens on practically every device and website.
Metadata such as camera model and GPS location is dropped during conversion, because the image is redrawn and saved fresh. This is handy when you want to share a picture without revealing where it was taken.
Tips
- Convert many files at once. They run in parallel on phones and computers with several cores.
- Use the quality slider, when it is shown, to balance file size and sharpness. Around 90 percent suits most photos.
- Need a different format? Try heic to png or png to jpg.
- Very large images need a lot of memory. If a file fails on your phone, try a computer or a smaller image.
