Image Format Converter

Convert HEIC photos from an iPhone to JPG, or switch any image between JPG, PNG and WebP — entirely on your device. Drop in a batch, pick a format, and download the results; your photos are never uploaded.

Everything runs locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded. Decoding and re-encoding happen on your own device (even HEIC, via a decoder loaded into the page), so the tool is safe for private photos. Need to shrink an image rather than change its format? Use the image compressor & resizer.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Drop your iPhone photos (or any images) onto the box above — .heic files are detected automatically and the decoder loads on the spot.
  2. Leave Convert to on JPG, or pick PNG / WebP. Conversion starts immediately; adjust the quality slider and it re-runs.
  3. Download images one by one, or press Download all.

Which format should you pick?

JPG for photos going anywhere older or unknown — it opens everywhere. WebP when the destination is the web — visibly smaller at the same quality. PNG when you need lossless output or transparency (JPG replaces transparent areas with white). For the deeper trade-offs, see WebP vs. JPEG vs. PNG.

Why your iPhone photos are HEIC in the first place

Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) because it stores the same photo in roughly half the space of JPEG. The catch is compatibility — Windows, Android and most websites still expect JPG. We cover the details, and how to make your iPhone shoot JPG directly, in What is a HEIC file?

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to JPG?

Drop your .heic photos onto the tool and download the JPGs — conversion starts automatically. The HEIC decoder loads into your browser on demand, so even iPhone photos are converted on your own device, not on a server.

Are my photos uploaded to convert them?

No. Decoding and re-encoding happen entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, which is exactly what you want for a personal camera roll. It works offline once the page has loaded.

Why won’t HEIC files open on my computer?

HEIC is the iPhone’s space-saving default format, but Windows needs a free extension to display it, no browser shows it natively, and many apps and upload forms reject it. Converting to JPG makes the photo open everywhere.

Does converting reduce image quality?

JPG and WebP are lossy, so re-encoding discards a little detail — at the default 90% quality the difference is not visible for photos. PNG output is lossless. Either way, keep your originals and convert copies.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes — add a whole batch and every file is converted with the current settings, each with its own download link plus a Download-all button. Before/after sizes are shown per image.
