How to Convert HEIC to JPG (Free, iPhone Photos)
2 min read
iPhones save photos as HEIC to keep file sizes small, but many websites, Windows apps, and older devices can't open them. Converting to JPG fixes that instantly.
This guide shows how to convert HEIC to JPG for free in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.
Step by step
- 1Open the HEIC to JPG converter
Go to the HEIC to JPG tool. No install or signup needed.
- 2Add your HEIC photos
Choose the HEIC/HEIF files from your iPhone or computer. They're decoded locally in your browser.
- 3Convert
The tool turns each photo into a standard JPG (or PNG) that opens anywhere.
- 4Download
Save the converted images. They'll now open on Windows, the web, and any device that doesn't support HEIC.
Tips
- To stop your iPhone making HEIC files, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
- JPG is the most universally supported format; choose PNG only if you need lossless quality.
- You can convert several photos in one go.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my HEIC photos open?
HEIC is Apple's format and isn't supported everywhere, especially on Windows and older devices or some websites. Converting to JPG makes the photo universally openable.
Is converting HEIC to JPG free and private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, and there's no watermark or signup.
Will I lose quality?
JPG is compressed, but at high quality the difference is visually negligible for everyday photos. Use PNG if you need lossless output.
