HEIC to JPG Converter — Free, Batch, No Upload — Convert iPhone Photos to JPG on Windows, Android & Mac

Drop your .heic photos onto the page (or click to browse). They convert to JPG automatically, in batch, right in your browser. Download each photo individually or grab everything as one ZIP. Free, no signup, no watermark, no limits.

Windows can't open HEIC out of the box without paid codec extensions. The fastest fix is converting to JPG: drop the files here and download universal JPGs that open everywhere — Photos app, Office, email, anything.

No. Conversion runs 100% in your browser using native decoding plus a WebAssembly decoder. Your photos never leave your device — safe for private family photos, documents and IDs.

Yes — drop an entire camera-roll export. Every file converts automatically with a live progress list, and Download all packs the JPGs into a single ZIP. No file count limit.

At the default quality (90%) the difference is invisible in normal use. JPGs are typically somewhat larger than the HEIC original because HEIC compresses more efficiently — that's exactly why Apple uses it. Choose PNG for lossless output, or lower the quality for smaller files.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones use by default since iOS 11. It stores photos at about half the size of JPG at equal quality — but many apps, websites and Windows PCs can't open it, which is why converting to JPG is so often needed.

On your iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos will be JPG. Existing HEIC photos stay HEIC — convert those here.

Yes — that's the point. The converter first tries your browser's native HEIC support (Safari, macOS, iOS) and automatically falls back to a WebAssembly decoder on Windows, Android and Linux. Nothing to install.

Yes — tap the PNG chip for lossless output (screenshots, graphics) or WebP for the smallest files at equal quality (websites).

No — the output is re-encoded through the browser canvas, which strips EXIF metadata including GPS location. For sharing online that's usually a privacy advantage.

.heif converts exactly like .heic. Live Photos convert to a still JPG of the key frame — the short video part isn't carried into a JPG.

Very rarely a HEIC uses a variant the WebAssembly decoder can't read (some burst or portrait-depth files). Opening this page in Safari on a Mac or iPhone gives guaranteed native decoding for those.

macOS opens HEIC natively, so for a single photo you can use Preview → File → Export → JPEG or right-click → Quick Actions → Convert Image. For a whole folder at once — with one ZIP download and a quality setting — dropping them on this page in Safari is faster, and it also works on older macOS versions that predate HEIC support.

ChromeOS and most Linux desktops can't open HEIC out of the box, and installing codecs is fiddly. This converter runs on WebAssembly in the browser, so it works identically in Chrome or Firefox on a Chromebook or any Linux distro — no imagemagick or libheif packages needed. (Terminal fans can use heif-convert from libheif-examples instead.)

Not if you convert. The Windows Photos app asks you to buy the HEVC Video Extensions (€0.99) before it will display HEIC photos, and the old free manufacturer codec has been discontinued. Converting to JPG here sidesteps the whole thing — the results open in every app Windows has, with nothing installed.

Convert them to JPG first, then attach — JPG opens on literally every device. Note that the iPhone Mail and WhatsApp apps already convert automatically when you share from the Photos app; the HEIC problem usually appears when you transfer via USB cable, AirDrop to a PC, or cloud drives. Permanent fix on the iPhone: Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC → Automatic.

Because HEIC stores the same photo at roughly half the file size of JPG, supports 10-bit colour, HDR and Live Photos, and saves a lot of iCloud and device storage over thousands of photos. Apple made it the default in iOS 11. The only real drawback is compatibility with non-Apple devices — which is exactly what converting to JPG solves.

There's no artificial limit — no file count cap, no size cap, no daily quota. Because everything runs locally, the only bound is your device's memory: hundreds of photos in one batch is normal on a laptop. Full-resolution 48 MP iPhone HEIC files work fine. Note that ProRAW photos are .DNG files, not HEIC — those need a RAW converter instead.

Usually yes — typically 1.5–2× larger, because HEIC compresses more efficiently than the 30-year-old JPG format. That's the price of universal compatibility. If size matters, lower the quality slider to 80–85% (still visually excellent) or pick WebP output, which roughly matches HEIC's efficiency.

Yes — IMG_1234.heic becomes IMG_1234.jpg, so your photos stay in order and any references to file names keep working. The Download all ZIP preserves all the names too, which makes converting a whole camera-roll export painless.

Once the page has finished loading, conversion is fully local — you can switch off Wi-Fi and keep converting, which is also an easy way to verify that nothing is uploaded. You only need an internet connection to open the page itself; there's no server doing the work at any point.
