HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on every iPhone since iOS 11. It's efficient, but most non-Apple software can't read it: Windows often shows a blank thumbnail, older editors reject it, and many websites and forms only accept JPG. This tool decodes the HEIC entirely in your browser and re-encodes it as a standard JPG that opens everywhere.
No app, no codec, no upload
You don't need the Windows HEIF codec, a Microsoft Store app, or any desktop installer. Because the decoding runs client-side with WebAssembly, the same page works on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and phones alike — and your photos never leave your device. For other formats, our image format converter also targets PNG and WebP, and you can go the other way with the WebP to PNG and PNG to JPG converters. If you need a lossless copy of an iPhone photo instead, use HEIC to PNG; for the smallest file to put on a website, HEIC to WebP.
Choosing a quality setting
JPG is a lossy format, so the quality slider controls the trade-off between file size and fidelity. The default 90% keeps photos looking identical to the original for practical purposes while producing a reasonably small file; push it higher for archival-quality output, or lower it when you specifically need a smaller attachment.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows without installing an app?
Open this page in any browser on your PC, drop your .HEIC file onto the box above, and download the JPG — no software install, no Windows HEIC codec, and no Microsoft Store purchase needed. The HEIC is decoded inside your browser, which is why it works on Windows even though Windows itself often cannot open HEIC files directly.
Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC instead of JPG?
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because it stores the same image quality in roughly half the file size of JPG. The downside is that many Windows programs, older photo tools, websites, and email attachments still expect JPG, so a HEIC straight off your phone often won't open where you need it.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Both the HEIC decoding and the JPG encoding happen locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your photos never leave your device and nothing is stored or logged. That also means there is no upload wait and no server file-size limit.
Will converting HEIC to JPG lose image quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so a small amount of detail is discarded — but at the default 90% quality the difference is invisible for normal photos. You can raise the quality slider toward 100% for maximum fidelity and a larger file, or lower it for a smaller file when size matters more than perfect detail.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG on my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. The tool runs in the mobile browser, so you can pick a HEIC from your photo library and get a JPG back without installing anything. Very large photos depend on your phone's available memory, but a single image converts comfortably.
What is the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF is the underlying image format standard; HEIC is Apple's specific implementation and file extension for it. In practice the terms are used interchangeably for iPhone photos, and this converter accepts both .heic and .heif files.
