Home / HEIC to JPG
iPhone photos are tricky to share. Drop them here and get plain JPGs back — everything stays on your device.
iPhones often save photos as HEIC because the format keeps file sizes down while preserving good image quality. The format is not accepted everywhere, though. If a website, work application or older device asks for a JPG, use this page to make a compatible copy in your browser. Keep your original photos until you have checked the converted files.
Select or drop a HEIC image into the converter, allow the browser to process it, and download the resulting JPG file. JPG is widely supported by websites, email services, office applications and image viewers. Converting can be helpful when a recipient or upload form does not accept Apple's HEIC format. Keep the original file if you may need its full quality or metadata later.
HEIC is a modern image format that can store high-quality pictures efficiently, often using less storage than a comparable JPEG. JPG is older and has broader compatibility across devices and services. Converting to JPG can improve compatibility, but JPEG uses lossy compression, so some image information may be discarded depending on conversion settings.
If an iPhone photo arrives with a .heic extension and a Windows app or website cannot open it, converting a copy to JPG is a practical option. For large batches, check that the output files downloaded correctly before deleting or moving the originals. Browser support for HEIC decoding can vary by browser and operating system.
JPG is a lossy format, so conversion may change image data. The visible difference depends on the encoder and quality setting.

Your browser or operating system may not include a compatible HEIC decoder. Try a supported browser or convert the image using a trusted local application.
HEIC is commonly used by iPhones to store photos efficiently, while JPG is accepted by a wider range of websites, office apps and older devices. Converting creates a more compatible copy; it does not make the original HEIC file unnecessary. Keep the original if you need its full quality or metadata.
HEIC decoding support depends on the browser, operating system and file variant. If a conversion fails, update your browser, try another supported browser or use a trusted desktop converter. Do not rename a HEIC file to .jpg: changing the extension does not convert its contents.
