HEIC to JPG — Every iPhone Photo, Converted Instantly

iPhones save photos as HEIC, and half the world’s software still cannot open them — the upload form that rejects them, the Windows PC that shows a blank icon, the colleague who gets an attachment they cannot see. This converts them to JPG, or to PNG if you need a copy that loses nothing at all, without sending a single photo anywhere. Drop one picture or three hundred: they convert one after another, each appears on the page the moment it is done, and one button downloads the lot as a ZIP. On an iPhone, iPad or Mac, Safari decodes HEIC itself, so conversion is immediate. In Chrome, Edge and Firefox the page first loads a small HEIC decoder — about 0.7 MB, once — and from then on it is just as quick. Your photos are processed entirely in your browser, which matters for pictures of documents, children and anything with a location attached.

A Whole Folder at Once

Drop hundreds of photos in one go. Each converts in turn and appears immediately; one click downloads them all as a ZIP.

High-Quality or Lossless

JPG at 92% quality looks identical to the original in photos. Need every pixel exact? Choose PNG, which is truly lossless.

Location Stripped

Only the picture is carried over — GPS location and other photo metadata are left behind, so sharing the JPG does not share where you took it.

Never Uploaded

Every photo is decoded and converted in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and you can check.

!How It Works, Step by Step

1

Drop your .heic or .heif photos — as many as you like, or a whole folder’s worth. Nothing is uploaded.

2

Choose JPG (high quality, small files) or PNG (lossless, larger files).

3

Watch each photo appear as it is converted — no waiting for the whole batch.

4

Click Download all to get every photo in one ZIP, or save any single one.

Technical FAQ

How do I convert HEIC to JPG for free?
Drop the HEIC photos onto this page. Each one is converted to JPG in your browser and shown as soon as it is ready; Download all saves them together in one ZIP. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many you convert, because the work happens on your own device rather than on a server someone has to pay for.
Is converting HEIC to JPG lossless?
Not to JPG — no JPG conversion is, from any tool, because JPG compression always discards some detail. At the default 92% quality the difference is invisible in photographs. If you need an exact copy with nothing lost, choose PNG: it is genuinely lossless, at the cost of files several times larger.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are decoded and converted in your browser, and the JPG files are created on your device. Open the Network tab in your browser’s developer tools while you convert: no request carries your photos. In Chrome, Edge or Firefox you will see one download — the HEIC decoder itself, about 0.7 MB — which is code coming to you, not photos leaving.
Why does my browser download a decoder?
Because only Safari can read HEIC on its own. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, Safari decodes the photos directly and nothing extra is needed. Chrome, Edge and Firefox cannot, so the page loads libheif — the open-source HEIC decoder, compiled to WebAssembly — the first time you convert. It is about 0.7 MB, is cached afterwards, and never sees anything except the photos you give it, on your device.
Does the JPG keep the date and location of the photo?
No. Only the picture itself is carried over; photo metadata, including GPS location, camera model and the date taken, is left out of the converted file. That keeps your location private when you share the JPG. The trade-off is that photo apps may sort the converted file by the date you converted it rather than the date you took it.
Can I convert hundreds of HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another rather than all at the same time, which keeps the tab responsive and stops a phone running out of memory. Each photo appears on the page the moment it is done, and Download all packs every finished photo into a single ZIP file.
Why do iPhones save photos as HEIC?
Because HEIC stores a photo of the same quality in roughly half the space of a JPG, which matters on a phone. The catch is compatibility: many websites, older Windows PCs and some apps cannot open it. You can make an iPhone shoot JPG instead under Settings, Camera, Formats, Most Compatible — or keep HEIC for the space saving and convert only the photos you need to share.
What about Live Photos and burst shots?
A Live Photo’s still image and a burst are stored inside one HEIC file with several images in it. The converter produces the primary image — the photo you see in the Photos app — as a single JPG. The moving part of a Live Photo is a separate video file and is not part of the HEIC.
