Convert HEIC photos to shareable JPG files

Choose one or more HEIC or HEIF photos. The converter creates a JPG on your device, so your photos are not uploaded. Preview the result, adjust JPEG quality, and download individual photos or a ZIP of successful conversions.

File limits and supported output

Use a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari browser. Each file must be 50 MB or smaller. Photos are processed one at a time; conversions that exceed 30 seconds stop with an error, and you can cancel at any time. Some HEIF variants and very large images may not convert.

The output is a still JPG image. Live Photo motion, depth information, and original camera or location metadata are not preserved. Keep your original photos if you need these features. JPG compression can reduce detail, so use a higher quality setting when that matters.

Need a smaller JPG afterward? Try the image compressor. To change a JPG into PNG, use JPG to PNG.

When to use this

iPhones and many recent Android phones save photos as HEIC to keep files small, but plenty of software still can't open them: older Windows apps, many web upload forms, some print-shop kiosks and most email attachment previews. Converting to JPG gives you a file that opens almost everywhere.

It is also the quick fix when a website says "unsupported file type" after you choose a photo straight from your phone's library.

Worked example

  1. Select a dozen HEIC photos from a trip. They are queued and converted one at a time.
  2. Check a preview of the first result. If fine detail matters (a document photo, a sign), raise the quality setting; for casual sharing the default is usually enough.
  3. Download single photos as you need them, or take the ZIP of every successful conversion.
  4. If one photo fails, it is listed with an error and the rest are unaffected. Try it again alone, or set your phone's camera format to Most Compatible for future photos.

Keep the original HEIC files. JPG is an export for compatibility, not a replacement: it drops Live Photo motion and depth data.
