HEIC to JPG Converter

1. Upload one or more HEIC or HEIF files (up to 50 MB total).
2. Click 'Convert to JPG' — conversion typically finishes in under 2 seconds per image.
3. Download JPG files individually, or grab all converted images as a single ZIP archive.

HEIC files are typically 40–50% smaller than an equivalent-quality JPG — the primary reason Apple adopted HEIC as the default iPhone camera format starting with iOS 11 in 2017.

HEIC is Apple's proprietary image format based on HEVC compression. It saves storage on iPhones by shrinking photos 40–50% compared to JPG, but the format is not natively supported by most Windows applications, older Adobe software, Android devices, or many web platforms. Converting HEIC to JPG ensures your photos open natively everywhere — email clients, social media, Windows Photos, Android gallery apps, and legacy photo editors.

The converter decodes the HEVC-compressed image container, extracts the primary image stream, and re-encodes it as a JPEG using libjpeg at 92% quality. EXIF metadata (camera, date, GPS) is preserved unless stripped. Transparency (rare in HEIC photos) is composited onto a white background because JPG does not support alpha channels.

• Sharing iPhone photos with Android users via WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.
• Uploading photo submissions to web portals that accept only JPG or PNG.
• Editing iOS photos in Photoshop CS6, older GIMP, or Windows Paint.
• Attaching photos to email clients that strip HEIC attachments.
• Inserting iPhone photos into Microsoft Office documents (Word, PowerPoint).
• Uploading photos to marketplace listings (eBay, Etsy) that reject HEIC.
• Publishing photos on legacy CMS platforms with JPG-only upload fields.

JPG output uses 92% quality, which is visually lossless for screen viewing and photo printing up to A3 size. HEIC-to-JPG conversion is a decode-then-encode operation: some quality loss is unavoidable because both formats use lossy compression. At 92% quality, the difference is not perceptible under normal viewing conditions.

• JPG does not support transparency — transparent HEIC areas become white.
• Depth-of-field data and Live Photo motion are not preserved (JPG has no equivalent fields).
• Repeated HEIC → JPG → HEIC → JPG conversions accumulate lossy artifacts; convert once from the original.
• Very large HEIC files (over 50 MB) are rejected; split them first.
• HDR metadata in HEIC is not carried into JPG.

• Output JPG works on Windows 7+, macOS 10.6+, Android 4+, iOS 5+.
• Accepted by Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and every major email client.
• Uploads cleanly to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram.
• Opens natively in Photoshop (all versions), GIMP, Paint.NET, Preview, Windows Photos.

• Batch-upload up to 50 MB of HEIC files at once — the tool handles multiples in a single session.
• Use JPG for screen and print; switch to PNG if you need transparency preserved.
• Keep the original HEIC file — re-converting from HEIC is always better than re-converting from JPG.
• EXIF orientation is preserved — photos won't appear rotated after conversion.
• Files are deleted from our servers immediately after download — nothing is stored long-term.

Converted JPG appears rotated or upside down

Some legacy JPG viewers ignore the EXIF orientation flag. Open the file in a modern viewer (Windows Photos, Preview, Chrome) — it will display correctly.

Photo looks different after conversion

HEIC supports 10-bit HDR and wide color gamut (Display P3). Standard JPG is 8-bit sRGB. Colors are automatically mapped to sRGB — most photos look identical, but highly saturated or HDR content may appear slightly flatter.

Multiple files downloaded as one ZIP instead of individual JPGs

When you upload more than one file, we bundle the outputs into a ZIP. Extract the ZIP to get individual JPGs.
