HEIC to JPG Converter

About HEIC to JPG

Converts HEIC or HEIF photos from an iPhone or iPad into ordinary JPG files that open on Windows, Android and every web form. The decoding happens in your browser through a WebAssembly library, and you control the JPG compression with a quality slider.

How to use it

1. Drop a .heic or .heif file into the box, or click it to browse your photos.
2. Wait for the preview to appear; the decoder loads the first time you use it.
3. Adjust Quality from 10 to 100. It starts at 85, a good match for typical photos.
4. Press Convert to JPG, then Download JPG.

Sending an iPhone photo to a Windows PC

A 4032×3024 HEIC taken on an iPhone, quality left at 85.

A 4032×3024 JPG with a random name such as maffei-9c04ab17.jpg. Any transparent pixels would be filled white, and location and camera metadata are left out.

When to use it

• Attaching an iPhone picture to a job application or claim form that rejects HEIC.
• Sharing photos with people who use Windows or older Android phones.
• Uploading a picture to a website whose file picker lists only JPG and PNG.
• Cutting the size of a photo by choosing a lower quality before emailing it.

Questions about HEIC to JPG

Is a JPG bigger than the HEIC?

Usually yes, often by half again or more at similar visual quality, because HEIC compresses more efficiently. Lower the Quality slider if the JPG comes out too heavy.

Does the JPG keep GPS location and date?

No. The photo is redrawn and saved fresh, so metadata such as location, camera model and timestamps is not written to the JPG. That is useful before posting publicly.

Why does the first conversion feel slow?

The HEIC decoder is fetched on demand, since it is large and only needed for HEIC files. Big photos also take a few seconds to decode, and the preview waits for that.

Is a photo with transparency handled?

HEIC can carry an alpha channel, but JPG cannot. The canvas is filled white first, so any see-through regions turn white in the JPG.
