HEIC to JPG Converter

iPhone photos are saved as HEIC by default, and plenty of Windows programs, forms and websites cannot open them. Upload one here and get a normal JPG back with the same dimensions and a quality you choose.

How to use this tool

  1. Select one HEIC or HEIF file. The upload limit is 10 MB, shown before you start. Files from an iPhone camera normally end in .heic.
  2. Set the JPG quality. Keep 90 for high-quality photos, or lower it if you want a smaller file to send by email.
  3. Upload and convert. Press Convert to JPG. The progress bar follows the upload, and the server does the decoding work.
  4. Download the JPG. The result panel shows the original and new sizes. Press Download JPG and the file saves to your device.
  5. Nothing to clean up. The uploaded photo and the converted copy are removed from the server within 15 minutes.

Why use this tool

Apple chose HEIC because it stores a good photo in less space, but the format never became universal. Windows machines without the HEIF extension, older Android phones and many web forms simply show an error. A JPG is the safest thing to send to a printer, attach to an application or drop into a document.

Browsers cannot reliably decode HEIC on their own, so this is deliberately a server tool rather than a private in-browser one. The trade-off is explicit: the file leaves your device, travels over an encrypted connection, is converted, and is scheduled for deletion within 15 minutes. The quality slider gives you control over the output, and the download is never started automatically, so you can check the result size first. If the conversion service is down, the page says so plainly instead of leaving a spinner running.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
Yes. HEIC decoding needs a server, so the file is uploaded to our conversion service, turned into a JPG and deleted within 15 minutes. We do not keep a copy or use the image for anything else.
Why is there a 10 MB limit?
The upload limit keeps conversions fast and protects the service from very large requests. If your photo is bigger, export a smaller version from the Photos app or crop it before uploading. A typical iPhone photo is well under 10 MB.
Does converting change the resolution?
No. The JPG keeps the pixel dimensions of the original HEIC photo. The quality setting affects compression and file size, not the width and height. Use the Image Resizer afterwards if a form asks for exact pixels.
Can I convert a Live Photo?
Only the still image is converted. The motion and sound that make a Live Photo are not part of the JPG output, so download the still from Photos if you need the video too.
