HEIC → JPG
Convert HEIC to JPG Online
Make iPhone photos usable in apps and websites that require JPG. Your photos are processed on your device without being uploaded to a server. Check the preview before saving your JPEG.

Converts the primary still image. JPEG uses lossy compression and may produce a larger file. Transparent areas are filled with white. Check orientation and colors in the result preview.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
An iPhone photo can look fine on your phone but fail an upload form or refuse to open in older software. Use JPG when a website requires JPEG or your editing and sharing workflow does not accept HEIC. Compatibility is the reason to convert; JPG is not inherently a better-quality format.
How to convert an iPhone HEIC photo
- 01
Select HEIC Images
Choose files or drag them into the upload area. If your photo library supplies a JPEG automatically, choose the original HEIC from the Files app instead.
- 02
Choose quality and convert
Start with 90% JPEG quality. The decoder loads when you begin conversion, then processes one photo at a time. Large photos may take a few moments.
- 03
Check and download
Inspect the preview, pixel dimensions and actual file size. Save each JPG separately, or download successful results together as a ZIP.
Limits: 30 MB per file and 50 megapixels. Primary HEIC still photos only. HDR, some color profiles and image sequences are unsupported. Available device memory can impose a lower practical limit.
Orientation, color and your original photo
The decoder applies rotation and mirror transformations stored in the HEIC container. Supported Apple Display P3 photos are converted to sRGB for JPEG output. HDR and unfamiliar ICC profiles may be rejected instead of silently producing incorrect colors. Keep the original: wide-gamut color, brightness range and camera metadata are not all preserved in the JPG.
HEIC vs JPG
HEIC is a high-efficiency photo format commonly used by Apple devices. It can store photos efficiently, but support varies between applications. JPG is broadly accepted by websites and older tools. It uses lossy compression and has no alpha transparency. Choose the format your workflow needs rather than assuming one is always better.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC stores a HEVC-compressed photo inside a HEIF container. This converter handles the primary still image in ordinary HEIC photos. It does not support every HEIF codec or image sequence.
Why does iPhone save photos as HEIC?
With the High Efficiency camera setting, an iPhone can use HEIC to store photos efficiently. Keep that original and make a JPG copy when another app or website needs JPEG.
Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce image quality?
It can. The photo is decoded and compressed again as JPEG, which may introduce artifacts or lose fine detail. Higher quality generally gives a closer result and a larger file. Conversion cannot recover detail already lost in the source.
Is JPG smaller than HEIC?
Not necessarily. HEIC is often efficiently compressed, so the JPEG may be larger. The result depends on the photo and your quality setting; compare the actual sizes shown after conversion.
Will the photo orientation stay correct?
For supported files, container rotation and mirror transformations are applied to the saved pixels. Dimensions follow that orientation without automatic resizing. Unusual orientation metadata may behave differently, so check the result preview.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. Photos are processed sequentially to limit memory use. A failed file gets its own error while the other files continue. Download successful JPGs individually, or as a ZIP when at least two are ready.
Can this converter turn a Live Photo into JPG?
It converts only the primary still photo in the HEIC you upload. It does not process the motion, audio or separate MOV component of a Live Photo. A multi-image container also produces only its primary photo.
Are my HEIC files uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding, JPEG encoding and ZIP creation happen inside your browser. The decoder software is downloaded when you first convert a photo; your image files are not sent to a server.
Are metadata and color profiles preserved?
Original EXIF, GPS, capture dates and ICC profiles are not copied to the output. Supported Display P3 profiles are used to convert colors to sRGB. HDR and unsupported color profiles produce an error. Keep your original if you need its metadata or wider color range.
