How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Choose your photos. Drop .heic or .heif files on the box or choose them; you can add as many as you like, also in several goes. On an iPhone, choose Browse in the file picker to find photos saved in Files.
- Pick the format. JPG (quality 90 by default) for sharing, uploading and printing; PNG when a program needs a lossless file.
- Decide about the photo details. They are removed by default. Tick Keep photo details for the date, camera and exposure, and Also keep the GPS location only when the place should travel with the photo.
- Download. Each photo has its own Download button, and Download all puts every converted photo in one ZIP file. Changing a setting converts the list again from your original files.
Private by design
The converter uses libheif, the open-source HEIF library, compiled to WebAssembly and served from this site. It runs in your browser, so your photos are decoded and saved on your device and never sent anywhere: there is no upload, no account and no limit on the number of files. That matters for HEIC photos in particular, because a photo straight off a phone often carries the exact place it was taken.
What the converted file contains
- The full picture, upright. A HEIC file can store the rotation separately from the pixels; it is applied, so nothing comes out sideways, and the width and height are the ones the iPhone saved.
- The color profile. The photo's own profile (or Display P3 when the file names it by code) is written into the JPG or PNG, so colors match what you saw on the phone in apps that read profiles.
- No metadata unless you ask. With Keep photo details on, the date, camera, lens and exposure settings are copied, the orientation is reset to upright and the small preview thumbnail and Apple's private MakerNote are left out. The list says for each photo whether its location was removed or kept.
- Only the main photo. A HEIC can hold extra images (a depth map, an HDR gain map, burst frames); the converter saves the main one, which is what the Photos app shows.
Tips
- For upload forms with a size limit, run the JPGs through the image compressor, which can shrink a photo to an exact size such as 200 KB.
- To check what a converted or original photo reveals, open it in the EXIF viewer.
- Large batches of 48-megapixel photos need a lot of memory. On a phone, convert them in groups of 20 or so and close other apps if a photo fails.
- To stop new photos being saved as HEIC, set Settings › Camera › Formats to Most Compatible on the iPhone (Apple: Using HEIF or HEVC media, as of October 2026).
