About HEIC to JPG
HEIC to JPG converts a photo saved by an iPhone or iPad in HEIC or HEIF format into a JPG, for apps and websites that do not open HEIC. Before converting, a "Quality" slider from 10 to 100 (it starts at 85) sets the JPG compression: higher keeps more detail, lower gives a smaller file. A browser that can open HEIC itself (Safari, and every browser on iPhone and iPad) decodes the photo at full size; one that cannot, such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on a computer, uses the open-source heic2any library instead. Several photos can be chosen at once: they are converted one after the other with the same quality, on your device, and the JPGs can be downloaded one by one or together in a ZIP.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- 1Choose one or more .heic or .heif photos in the upload area; one photo shows its file name there, several show how many you chose.
- 2Move the "Quality" slider if you want more detail or a smaller file.
- 3Click "Convert to JPG".
- 4Click "Download" to save the JPG; it keeps the photo's name with .jpg at the end. With several photos, each JPG has its own button, and the button above the list saves them all in one ZIP.

Where your file is processed
The photo stays on your device. A browser that reads HEIC decodes it with its own decoder; otherwise the heic2any script is downloaded from our site when you click "Convert to JPG", and decodes it. The JPG is then encoded in the browser. If the conversion fails, a report goes to our error log: the cleaned error text, the file extension, a size range, the tool's name, and your browser's name and version, never the photo or its name.
Frequently asked questions
Will the JPG lose quality compared with the HEIC?
Yes, a little. JPG is a lossy format, so some fine detail is always dropped when the photo is saved. A higher "Quality" value keeps more of it and gives a bigger file; a lower value gives a smaller file with more visible blocks and blur.
Are 24 MP and 48 MP iPhone photos converted at full size?
Yes. On iPhone and iPad the photo is opened by iOS itself at full resolution; above 16.7 MP it is decoded in strips, because Safari limits the size of one canvas.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes, up to 30 photos at a time: choose or drop them together. They are converted one after the other with the same quality; a photo that cannot be read gets its own message and the others are still converted. Each JPG has its own Download button, and the button above the list saves them all in one ZIP.
Does the JPG carry the iPhone's GPS position?
No. The JPG is a new image made from the decoded pixels, so EXIF details such as GPS location and camera model are not copied into it. A photo that is already a JPG (the iPhone often converts it when you pick it from Photos) is given back unchanged, details included.
