HEIC to JPG Converter

Open this tool in any browser on your Windows PC, drag and drop your HEIC files onto the upload area (or click to browse), adjust quality if needed, and click Convert. The JPG files download instantly. No software installation required - it works entirely in your browser.

HEIC and JPG are both lossy formats, so there's always some quality consideration. At 90-95% quality setting, the visual difference is imperceptible for most photos. HEIC actually stores images more efficiently, so a high-quality JPG may be slightly larger than the original HEIC while maintaining equivalent visual quality.

Yes! This tool supports batch conversion. Select multiple HEIC files or drag a folder of HEIC images onto the upload area. All files convert simultaneously and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP archive. Perfect for converting entire photo albums from your iPhone.

The current version focuses on image conversion and does not preserve EXIF metadata (date, location, camera settings). If preserving metadata is critical, consider using Apple's built-in export feature on your iPhone or Mac, which can export as JPG with metadata intact.

Apple adopted HEIC as the default format in iOS 11 (2017) because it provides better compression than JPEG - your photos take up less storage space while maintaining quality. You can change this in iPhone Settings > Camera > Formats, choosing "Most Compatible" to shoot in JPEG instead.

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container format, while HEIC is Apple's specific implementation using HEVC compression. JPG/JPEG is the older standard from 1992. HEIC/HEIF offers ~50% better compression than JPG, supports 16-bit color depth, and can store image sequences. JPG is universally compatible but less efficient.

Since conversion happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Most computers handle files up to 100MB easily. For very large HEIC files (like ProRAW photos), you may need to convert them one at a time. There's no server-side limit since nothing is uploaded.

This tool converts to JPG, which is ideal for photos. If you need PNG output (for transparency or lossless quality), use our Image Format Converter tool which supports HEIC input and PNG output. PNG files will be significantly larger than JPG for photographic images.

Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency". Your iPhone will then capture photos as JPEG and videos as H.264. Note that this uses more storage space - HEIC photos are about 50% smaller than equivalent JPEGs.
