HEIC to JPG Converter
This tool converts HEIC photos from an iPhone or iPad into standard JPG files that open anywhere — Windows, Android, older software, and every website. Drop in one photo or a whole batch; the conversion runs on your own device using a WebAssembly decoder, so your photos are never uploaded to a server.

Why HEIC files won't open on Windows
Apple made HEIC the default camera format in iOS 11 because it stores the same photo in roughly half the size of a JPG. The catch: HEIC is built on the HEVC video codec, which carries patent licensing costs — so Windows doesn't ship the decoder by default, and many apps and websites simply reject the format.
Converting to JPG solves the compatibility problem once and for all. JPG is the one image format that opens on every device, uploads to every form, and prints at every kiosk. The quality difference at 90% JPG quality is invisible in normal viewing.
Private by design — your photos stay on your device
Most online HEIC converters upload your photos to their servers to do the conversion. Personal photos deserve better: this converter runs libheif compiled to WebAssembly directly in your browser, so the file never leaves your computer. That also means there are no size quotas, no queues, and no waiting for uploads.
The decoder loads once (about 1 MB) the first time you convert, then batch conversions run back-to-back at full speed.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
Slightly, in theory — JPG re-encodes the image at 90% quality, which is visually indistinguishable from the original in normal viewing. The conversion can't lose detail the HEIC didn't have.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes — select or drop a whole batch and each file is converted in sequence, then download them individually or all at once.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The HEIC decoder runs as WebAssembly inside your browser, so photos are processed entirely on your device.
Why doesn't Windows open HEIC files?
HEIC uses the HEVC codec, which requires patent licensing. Microsoft sells the codec as a paid add-on, so out of the box Windows can't decode HEIC — converting to JPG sidesteps the problem entirely.
