HEIC to JPG – Convert iPhone Photos

I built this because every time I tried to upload an iPhone photo to a website, I got an error saying HEIC wasn't supported. This converts HEIC to JPG without uploading your photos anywhere. Useful for Windows PCs, older apps, and websites that still don't accept HEIC.

HEIC or HEIF photos from an iPhone — Drag & drop your file here, or click to browse

Your files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to any server.

A note from me

HEIC is Apple's default photo format — roughly 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality. The catch is that Windows and older apps often can't open it. On iPhone, you can change the default to 'Most Compatible' which uses JPG, but it'll use more storage. My approach: keep HEIC for storage, convert to JPG only when sharing with non-Apple users.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?+

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your photo stays on your device.

Why does my iPhone use HEIC?+

HEIC gives better compression than JPG — about 50% smaller at similar quality. Apple made it the default to save storage.

Does converting reduce quality?+

Slightly, because JPG is lossy. Keep quality at 85-90% and the difference is invisible for most purposes.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?+

Yes. Upload multiple HEIC photos and convert them all in one session.

Does the original HEIC file change?+

No. The JPG is a new file. Your original HEIC stays on your device.
