HEIC to JPG

HEIC to JPG converts your iPhone and iPad photos from Apple's HEIC format into universally compatible JPEG files. HEIC is the default photo format on Apple devices running iOS 11 and later — it produces smaller files than JPEG at similar quality, but many non-Apple platforms, older software, and web services cannot open it. This tool handles the conversion entirely in your browser; your files never leave your device.

Tool interface

The interface is simple and direct:

• A drag-and-drop upload area for HEIC and HEIF files
• A quality slider to control the JPEG output quality
• A file list showing each filename and original size
• Live before/after file size comparison after conversion
• A Convert & Download button to process and save all files
• A Clear option to reset and start over

Multiple files are downloaded together as a ZIP archive.

Tool description

HEIC to JPG uses heic2any, a browser-based HEIC decoder built on WebAssembly, to read the compressed image data from each HEIC file and export it as JPEG. The process happens entirely in your browser tab — no server receives any data.

The quality slider controls the JPEG compression level. Higher quality means larger files with more detail preserved; lower quality means smaller files with more compression artifacts. For most sharing and uploading purposes, 80–90% quality is a practical range that balances file size and visual quality.

Because HEIC uses more efficient compression than JPEG, the JPEG output will generally be larger than the original HEIC file at equivalent visual quality. This is normal and expected — you are trading storage efficiency for broad compatibility.

Some practical use cases:

• Uploading iPhone photos to websites or services that do not accept HEIC
• Sending photos to Windows or Android users who cannot open HEIC files
• Submitting JPEG images required by forms, portals, or email systems
• Batch-converting a camera roll export for use in non-Apple software

How to use

1. Drop your HEIC or HEIF files onto the upload area, or click Browse to select them.
2. Adjust the quality slider if needed — 85% is a reliable starting point for most uses.
3. Click Convert & Download to begin conversion.
4. HEIC decoding can take a few seconds per file — a progress indicator is shown throughout.
5. Single files download directly as .jpg; multiple files are saved as a ZIP archive.

Tip: If you only need a compatible file for sharing or uploading, there is no need to set quality above 85%. Going higher increases the file size noticeably without visible improvement for most photos.
