HEIC to JPG
iPhone and iPad save photos in HEIC by default. The format saves space but does not always open on Windows, Android or older software. Converting to JPG makes the photos universal and ready to send or print.
The image is converted in your browser — the file is not uploaded.

More about HEIC to JPG
Why convert HEIC to JPG
HEIC offers good quality at a small size, but compatibility is limited. JPG is recognised almost everywhere: on Windows, Android, in email clients, social networks and printing services.
The conversion helps if you need to:
- open an iPhone photo on a Windows computer;
- send images to a service that accepts only JPG;
- upload photos to a website or a marketplace listing;
- print photos at a lab.
How it works
The browser decodes HEIC with the heic2any library and saves the frame as JPG. The file is not sent to the server while the browser can handle it, which matters for privacy: personal photos stay on your device.
Limitations
HEIC can contain several images, but the tool extracts the main frame. Metadata, including location, is not added to the result. Keep the original HEIC files if you need maximum quality.
Questions and answers
Why does Windows not open HEIC?
Windows supports HEIC only after installing an extra codec from the Microsoft Store. JPG opens without additional extensions on every Windows version.
Is quality lost when converting HEIC to JPG?
JPG uses lossy compression, but at high quality the difference is practically invisible. For archiving, keep the original HEIC.
Are Live Photos converted?
The tool works with the still HEIC image. The video part of a Live Photo is not transferred to JPG, but the main frame is preserved.
Is the file uploaded to a server?
In most browsers the conversion happens locally after decoding with heic2any. If the browser cannot handle it, the file is processed on the server and deleted automatically.
