or — multiple files welcome. Nothing is uploaded; conversion happens on your device.
Files are processed entirely in your browser — never uploaded, never stored. Large photos convert in about a second each; the first HEIC file loads a small decoder module.
How it works
HEIC is what iPhones shoot by default since iOS 11 — half the size of JPG at the same quality, but rejected by countless Windows apps, upload forms, and older tools. Converting to JPG is the universal fix, and doing it in the browser means your photos never touch a server.
- Drop your HEIC photos above (AirDrop, USB transfer, or download them from iCloud first) — you can select dozens at once.
- The first file loads a small decoder module, then each photo converts in about a second.
- Adjust quality if needed — 90% is visually lossless for photos — and download individually or all at once.
HEIC vs JPG
| HEIC | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| File size (same quality) | Smaller (~50%) | Larger |
| Works everywhere | No — Apple ecosystem + modern apps | Yes — universal since 1992 |
| Live Photos / bursts | Supported | Stills only |
| Best for | Storing photos on your iPhone | Sharing, uploading, editing anywhere |
Tip: Keep shooting HEIC on your phone (it halves storage) and convert on demand — only switch the camera to "Most Compatible" if you constantly share to old systems.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is the High Efficiency Image Container Apple uses for iPhone photos since iOS 11 — roughly half the file size of JPG at the same quality. The tradeoff is compatibility: many Windows apps, websites, and upload forms still reject it, which is why converting to JPG is so common.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Drop the files on this page — it works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android with nothing to install. The first file loads a small decoder module (a second or two), then conversion is instant.
Will I lose quality converting HEIC to JPG?
A little, unavoidably — both formats are lossy. At the default 90% quality the difference is invisible in normal use. Raise the slider to 100% for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
How do I stop my iPhone shooting HEIC?
Settings → Camera → Formats → "Most Compatible" switches the camera to JPG. "High Efficiency" (HEIC) is worth keeping if storage matters — convert on demand instead.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine — files never leave your device, which also makes it faster than upload-based converters and safe for private photos.
