HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads, but it's not supported everywhere. Drop your HEIC files here and get universally compatible JPG images in seconds — no account, no upload, no waiting. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly, so your photos never leave your device.

Upload your HEIC photos
Drag and drop HEIC or HEIF files onto the box above, or click to open the file picker. You can add up to 20 photos at once.
Adjust quality (optional)
Use the quality slider to balance file size against image detail. 85% (default) is indistinguishable from 100% for most photos and produces much smaller files.
Click Convert
Your browser decodes each HEIC file and re-encodes it as JPEG using the same WebAssembly codec that powers Google's Squoosh tool.
Download your JPG files
Download files individually or click "Download all as ZIP" to get everything in one archive. Converted files stay in your browser — nothing is stored on our servers.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It uses the HEVC codec to store photos at roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPEG, with the same visual quality. The trade-off is limited compatibility outside of Apple devices.
HEIC relies on Apple-licensed HEVC decoding patents. Windows 10/11 requires a paid codec extension from the Microsoft Store (or the free "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer" if your device shipped with it). Android doesn't support HEIC natively. Converting to JPG eliminates these compatibility headaches.
At 85% quality (our default), the quality reduction is imperceptible to the human eye in normal viewing. If you're printing large-format photos or editing the result further, raise the slider to 95–100%. Note that JPG uses lossy compression, so some mathematical precision is always lost — going back to HEIC from a JPG will not recover the original.
Our engine processes images at the pixel level. EXIF data (date taken, GPS coordinates, camera model) is not currently embedded in the output JPG. If you need to preserve metadata, use a dedicated EXIF tool like ExifTool after downloading your converted file.
HEIC decoding is computationally intensive. A 12 MP HEIC from an iPhone typically takes 2–5 seconds in the browser. Pro RAW HEIC files (up to 48 MP) can take 10–20 seconds. A progress bar shows status per file, and all files convert in parallel.
