Common use cases

iPhones use HEIC because it can store photos in less space than JPEG at similar quality. Some Windows apps, upload forms, and older office software cannot open it. Apple can share HEIC media in a more compatible format, such as JPEG. This tool gives you the same type of conversion for files already on your device. It creates one .jpg file for each HEIC file. Conversion runs in your browser tab. Your source files and JPG output files stay on your device. After you select files, the browser downloads decoder code from this site. That request contains no file data. JPG works well for product listings, property records, support tickets, and shared photo folders. It also fits workflows that mix iPhone photos with images from other cameras. Convert a batch before you send it to a Windows user or upload it to a service. The quality control lets you keep more detail or reduce output size. You can inspect each result before download. Individual downloads help when you need one photo. The ZIP option collects the full batch. Keep the original HEIC files when you need their source quality or metadata.

Questions

HEIC to JPG Converter: common questions

Why won't my HEIC open on Windows or in my recipient's email client?

Windows may need Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions to open HEIC files. Managed or older computers might not include the required components. Converting to JPG removes this HEIC dependency. The result is a regular .jpg file that recipients can open, edit, or add to documents.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose photo quality?

There is one lossy step. Libheif decodes the HEIC and encodes a JPEG at your selected quality. The default is 0.92. The result is not bit-for-bit identical to the source. Keep the original HEIC when you need an archival master. Use the JPG as the compatible delivery copy.

Can the converter handle HEIC photos from Android phones?

Yes. Some Android phones and image apps can create HEIC files. Cloud photo services can also export this format. The decoder checks the file's format markers. It does not depend on the device that created the file.

Is there a file size or batch limit for HEIC to JPG conversion?

Each HEIC must be under 100 MB. A batch can hold up to 50 photos. The limits reduce memory pressure during decoding and ZIP creation. The tool processes photos in sequence. Run another batch when you have more than 50 files.

How long does converting 50 HEIC photos to JPG take?

The time depends on the photo dimensions, file sizes, device speed, and available memory. Large iPhone photos take longer than small images. The status line shows progress as the tool decodes each photo.

Why does this convert to JPG and not PNG?

JPG is a practical target for photographs. Use PNG when the source is a graphic, logo or screenshot with sharp edges. The Convert Image Files tool supports HEIC input and PNG output for that case. Compare both formats when file size matters.

Does the JPG keep my iPhone's location data?

No. The converter writes a fresh JPG from the decoded pixels, and in our tests the GPS location and other camera EXIF tags from the HEIC were not carried over. Keep the original HEIC if you need that information.

Can I batch convert HEIC to JPG?

Yes. Add up to 50 HEIC photos, with a 100 MB limit for each file. The tool converts each photo separately. Download files one by one or together in a ZIP.

Will this tool stay free?

Yes. Everything this tool does is free. On some tools, a Day or Project Pass raises the file-size and batch limits if you need more.

More about HEIC to JPG Converter

How to convert HEIC to JPG

Drop your HEIC photos onto this page. Choose a quality setting, then select Convert. The default quality is 92%. Download each JPG or get all files in a ZIP. The tool works in current browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. Start with the default quality when you need a normal viewing copy. Increase it when small details matter more than output size. Reduce it when faster sharing matters more than fine detail. The preview lets you check each converted photo before download. Keep the HEIC originals until you have checked the JPG results.

How to convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac

Use this page in Safari, Chrome or Firefox to convert up to 50 HEIC photos in one batch and download them as a ZIP. Macs also have built-in options. Preview can export one or several HEIC files as JPEG with File > Export, and Photos can export photos from your library as JPEG. Our guide to converting HEIC to JPG on a Mac compares all three methods step by step. Use the batch workflow when you have a folder of HEIC files to send or upload. Add the full set, choose one quality value and convert them together. Preview or Photos is the better choice when you're offline or want to stay in Apple's own apps.

How to convert HEIC to JPG on Windows

Open this page in Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. Add your photos and convert them without a codec or app install. Windows needs HEIF Image Extensions to open HEIC files directly. Some devices also need HEVC Video Extensions. The browser decoder handles the source file inside the page. You do not need to change the Windows photo viewer first. This helps on managed computers where you cannot install Store extensions. The downloaded JPG files then open in standard image and document software.

How to stop your iPhone saving HEIC

Open Settings, Camera, then Formats on your iPhone. Select Most Compatible to save new photos as JPG. To convert photos during a USB transfer, open Settings > Apps > Photos (Settings > Photos on older iOS). Set Transfer to Mac or PC to Automatic. These settings do not change existing photos. Most Compatible affects new camera captures. Automatic transfer changes how supported media moves to a computer. Neither setting rewrites photos already stored in the library. Use this converter for existing HEIC files, shared albums, or folders copied before you changed the iPhone setting.

How to open HEIC files

Current Macs and iPhones open HEIC files. Windows needs the HEIF extension. Many websites, older apps, and some email clients cannot show HEIC. Convert the file to JPG when you need broad compatibility. Keep HEIC when every step supports it and storage efficiency matters. Create a JPG copy when another person, form, or application rejects the source. This gives you a compatible delivery file without removing the original. Store both files when metadata or future editing remains important.
