HEIC to JPG Converter
iPhones save photos as HEIC, a format Windows, Android, and most upload forms cannot read. This converter decodes HEIC in your browser and outputs a standard JPG — your photo never leaves your device, which matters when the photo is your ID or your family. Drop a .heic file below.
100% private — this tool runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions
Why do my iPhone photos not open on Windows?
Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), which halves file sizes but is not supported by older Windows versions and many apps and websites. Converting to JPG makes the photo universally readable.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
A small, generally invisible amount — this converter re-encodes at 92% JPEG quality. The JPG will be somewhat larger in file size than the HEIC, because HEIC compresses more efficiently.
Can I stop my iPhone from using HEIC?
Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → choose "Most Compatible" to shoot JPG directly. Keep "High Efficiency" if storage matters and convert only the photos you need to share.
