What is heic to jpg?
iPhones and recent Android phones save photos as HEIC — a format that’s smaller than JPEG but isn’t accepted everywhere. This converter turns one or many HEIC (or HEIF) files into JPGs entirely in your browser. Drop a folder of photos, click Convert all, and you get a single ZIP. The HEIC decoder is a one-time ~1 MB download on your first conversion.
When to use a heic to jpg
- Share iPhone photos with non-Apple users — HEIC opens beautifully on iPhones and Macs but trips up Windows, Android, and most web apps. Convert to JPG for universal compatibility.
- Upload photos to old systems — Government portals, school upload forms, and older CMS often reject HEIC. JPG is the safe default.
- Prep a batch for printing — Photo print services in most countries still expect JPEG. Convert your batch in a few seconds before uploading.
How to use the HEIC to JPG Converter
- Drop your HEIC files — Drag the files (or a folder) onto the drop zone, or click to pick from a file dialog.
- Click Convert all — The HEIC decoder loads on first use (about 1 MB, one time per visit), then each file converts in turn.
- Download the ZIP — One ZIP with every JPEG. iPhone EXIF metadata is stripped — by design, for privacy.

Is this private?
Yes. Decoding and conversion happen entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
Why does my iPhone save HEIC instead of JPG?
HEIC stores the same image at roughly half the file size. Great for the iPhone, awkward when sharing with non-Apple systems. To switch back to JPG on iOS, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
Does it handle .heif files too?
Yes. HEIF is the same container format with a different brand label. Both .heic and .heif are accepted.
What's the maximum file size?
25 MB per file, 100 files per batch. iPhone HEICs are usually 1-5 MB, so a typical batch covers a few hundred photos.
What about burst-mode HEIC files?
Burst mode and Live Photos store multiple frames inside one HEIC. We convert the first (key) frame and ignore the rest in v1.
Does it strip EXIF metadata?
Yes. Camera model, GPS location, and timestamps are removed during conversion. For most photo-sharing this is a feature; if you need EXIF preserved, that's a future enhancement.
Does it work on Android?
Yes — Android can take HEIC photos too. Open this page in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on any platform.
Why is the first conversion slower than the rest?
The HEIC decoder is a WebAssembly module that loads once on first use (~1 MB). Subsequent conversions reuse the loaded decoder.
