Convert HEIC to JPG
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many Windows apps and upload forms won't open. Turn them into ordinary JPG files, one photo or a whole batch.
How to use it
- Drop in your .heic files.
- JPG is already selected. Move the quality slider if you want smaller files.
- Click Convert, then save each photo or all of them as a zip.
Questions
Why does my iPhone save HEIC photos?
A HEIC file is about half the size of a JPG at the same quality, so it takes less room on the phone. Many apps outside Apple's still can't open them, though.
Will the JPG look worse?
Slightly, as with any JPG. At the default quality of 85 the difference is hard to see. Move the slider up to 95 to keep more detail.
Does the JPG keep the location and camera details?
No. The JPG is drawn fresh from the pixels, so the date, location and camera details are left out.
Why does the first photo take longer?
Most browsers can't read HEIC on their own, so the page downloads a decoder the first time you convert. Safari reads HEIC itself and skips this step.
Do my files get uploaded?
No. The page does the work inside your browser, and your files are never sent to a server. That makes it fine to use with private documents such as contracts or bank statements.
