This tool allows you to convert your HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) files, commonly used by Apple iPhones and other modern devices, into the universally compatible JPG (JPEG) format. HEIC files offer excellent image quality at significantly smaller file sizes compared to older formats. However, their adoption is not yet universal, leading to compatibility issues on Windows, older Android devices, and many web platforms. Our HEIC to JPG converter bridges this gap, allowing you to easily share and use your images everywhere, all processed securely within your browser.

Upload HEIC Images: Drag and drop your HEIC files (up to 8) into the designated area, or click the area to browse and select files from your device.
Automatic Conversion: Your images will be automatically converted to JPG format right in your browser using advanced conversion technology.
Download: Once converted, you can download each JPG image individually or click "Download All" to get a ZIP file containing all your converted images.

No software installation is required. Your files are processed securely in your browser. For HEIC conversion, we use a JavaScript library called heic2any to perform the conversion directly on your device, ensuring your privacy.

Converting HEIC images to JPG format is often necessary for compatibility reasons. While HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) offers superior compression and quality compared to JPG, it is not yet universally supported across all devices, operating systems, and applications. Here’s why you might need to convert:

Universal Compatibility: JPG is the most widely accepted image format. Converting HEIC to JPG ensures your photos can be viewed, shared, and edited on virtually any platform, including Windows PCs, Android devices, and older software that doesn't recognize HEIC.
Web Sharing: Many websites and social media platforms have better support for JPG uploads than HEIC. Converting ensures your images display correctly online.
Software Support: While newer software versions are adding HEIC support, many popular image editing tools, viewers, or office applications (especially older ones) may still require JPG.
Cross-Platform Workflows: If you work across different operating systems (e.g., taking photos on an iPhone and editing on a Windows PC), converting to JPG can simplify your workflow.

This tool makes it simple to bridge the compatibility gap, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of HEIC's efficient storage on your Apple devices while still being able to use your images in the universally accepted JPG format when needed. The conversion is done with a focus on maintaining high visual quality.

Secure In-Browser Conversion: We utilize the heic2any JavaScript library, meaning your HEIC files are converted to JPG directly on your device, within your web browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring maximum privacy.
Batch Conversion: Save time by converting up to 8 HEIC or HEIF files to JPG simultaneously.
High-Quality Output: The conversion process aims for a high-quality JPG output (quality setting of 0.9) to preserve the details from your original HEIC images.
Supports HEIC & HEIF: Our tool can handle both .heic and .heif file extensions.
No Software or Plugins Needed: Convert your images without installing any additional software, codecs, or browser extensions (beyond the capabilities of your modern browser).
User-Friendly: A simple drag-and-drop interface makes the conversion process quick and intuitive.
Free Service: This HEIC to JPG converter is completely free to use.

HEIC and JPG are both popular image formats, but they have different characteristics and use cases:

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format)

Also Known As: HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) for still images. HEVC (H.265) for video.
Compression: Advanced lossy compression (based on HEVC/H.265 video compression standard). Offers significantly better compression than JPG at similar quality levels.
Best for: Capturing high-quality images on modern smartphones (especially Apple devices) while saving storage space. Can also store image sequences (like Live Photos), auxiliary images (like depth maps), and more.
Transparency: Can support an alpha channel for transparency.
Color Depth: Supports up to 16-bit color, allowing for a wider range of colors than standard 8-bit JPGs.
Key Advantage: Superior compression efficiency (smaller files for the same quality as JPG), support for advanced features like animations and non-destructive edits (in some implementations).
Main Disadvantage: Limited native support outside the Apple ecosystem and newer software.

JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

Compression: Lossy.
Best for: Photographs, realistic images, web graphics where file size is a concern.
Transparency: No support.
Color Depth: Typically 8-bit per channel (24-bit total for RGB).
Key Advantage: Universal compatibility, good compression for photographs, widely understood and supported.
Main Disadvantage: Quality degrades with higher compression levels or repeated saves. Does not support transparency.

Converting HEIC to JPG is primarily a solution for compatibility, allowing you to use your efficiently stored HEIC images on platforms and devices that only support the more traditional JPG format.

Alternative Methods

iPhone Users: You can also change your camera settings to capture JPG instead of HEIC by going to Settings > Camera > Formats and selecting "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency."

Mac Users: Preview app can export HEIC files to JPG format, or you can use the built-in Image Capture application.

Windows Users: Windows 10/11 can view HEIC files with the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store, but conversion still typically requires third-party tools.

Problem: "Cannot open HEIC files on Windows"

Solution: Windows doesn't natively support HEIC. Use our converter to change them to JPG format, which Windows supports universally. No software installation needed.

Problem: "HEIC photos won't upload to website"

Solution: Many websites only accept JPG, PNG, or GIF formats. Convert your HEIC images to JPG using our tool before uploading.

Problem: "Converted JPG files are too large"

Solution: Our converter uses high-quality settings (0.9) to preserve image quality. For smaller files, you can use additional compression tools after conversion.

Problem: "Batch conversion taking too long"

Solution: HEIC conversion is processing-intensive. For best performance, convert 6-8 files at a time, especially on older devices.

Problem: "Quality loss after conversion"

Solution: Some quality loss is normal when converting between lossy formats. Our tool minimizes this by using high-quality JPG settings.
