How to convert HEIC to JPG

1

Add your HEIC photos

Drag and drop .heic or .heif files into the box above, tap to browse, or paste them straight from your clipboard. Add one photo or a whole batch.

2

Pick format & size

Choose JPG for maximum compatibility or PNG for a lossless copy. If a form demands a size limit, set an exact target like 200 KB.

3

Download

Save each photo individually, or download the whole batch as one ZIP. Nothing was uploaded, so there is nothing to wait for and nothing stored.

Why iPhone photos are HEIC — and why they won't open

The short version

Since iOS 11 (2017), iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because the format keeps the same quality in about half the file size of JPG. The catch: HEIC support outside Apple devices is patchy. Windows doesn't decode it without a paid extension, many websites and government forms reject it, and older software shows a blank icon instead of your photo.

Converting to JPG fixes all of that — JPG is the one image format that opens literally everywhere.

Stop your iPhone saving HEIC

If you'd rather skip converting in future: on the iPhone open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG (and take roughly twice the storage).

Photos already taken stay in HEIC — drop them into the converter above and you're done in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11 (2017). It stores photos in roughly half the space of JPG at similar quality, but many Windows apps, websites and online forms still cannot open it — which is why people convert HEIC to JPG.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. This converter runs entirely in your browser using your own device's processing power. Your photos never leave your device, there is no upload queue, and nothing is stored anywhere.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so a small amount of quality is traded for compatibility. At the default 90% quality setting the difference is not visible in normal use. If you need a pixel-perfect copy, choose PNG instead — it is lossless, though the files are larger.

Why won't my iPhone photos open on Windows?

Windows does not include a HEIC decoder by default; the Photos app asks for a paid HEVC extension from the Microsoft Store. Converting the photos to JPG here is free and works on any Windows PC, no extension or sign-up needed.

Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like — drag a whole folder selection in at once — and they are converted one after another on your device. Use the Download all (ZIP) button to save them in a single file.

Can I make the JPG an exact size, like 200 KB?

Yes. Turn on the exact-size option and pick a target such as 100 KB, 200 KB or 500 KB (or type your own). The converter adjusts quality — and, only if needed, dimensions — so each JPG lands at or just under your target, which is what most application and visa forms require.

How do I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?

On the iPhone, go to Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG. Photos already on the phone stay HEIC — convert those here.
