how to convert heic to jpg
- drop one or many heic or heif photos on the box above.
- wait for the converter to load the first time, then for each photo to convert.
- download each jpg or press download all for a zip.
heic is the default photo format on iphones and ipads since ios 11. it keeps about the same quality as jpg in half the space, but windows, many web forms and older software cannot open it. converting to jpg makes the photo work everywhere.
the first photo takes a little longer because the decoder is downloaded once. after that, each photo is converted on your device, so large batches depend on your phone or computer speed. for a big camera roll, convert 20 to 30 photos at a time to keep memory use low.

frequently asked questions
why are iphone photos heic?
ios uses heic for smaller files at the same quality, but many apps and websites only accept jpg.
is the first conversion slow?
the converter library loads once from a cdn, then conversion runs locally. large photos take a few seconds each.
are my photos uploaded?
no. the conversion runs in your browser and photos stay on your device.
can i stop my iphone taking heic photos?
yes. go to settings, camera, formats and choose most compatible. new photos are saved as jpg, but they take more space.
will the jpg be larger than the heic?
yes, usually about twice as large at similar quality, since heic is more efficient. lower the quality if you need smaller files.
what about live photos and burst photos?
only the still image is converted. the short video part of a live photo is not included.
