HEIC to JPG converter

How to use the HEIC to JPG converter

  1. Drag-and-drop one or more images — the converter handles HEIC, HEIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and GIF up to 50 MB each.
  2. Pick the target format. For photos: JPG (universal) or WebP (smaller). For screenshots and graphics with transparency: PNG or WebP. For modern browsers: AVIF (smallest).
  3. Adjust quality (for lossy formats) and transparency handling (for PNG → JPG, pick a background color).
  4. Conversion runs in your browser — images never upload to a server.
  5. Download individually or as a zip.

When to use it

HEIC (iPhone default) is unsupported on Windows, Linux, most browsers, and many web forms. Use this converter whenever you're sharing iPhone photos outside Apple's ecosystem. For JPG → PNG or PNG → JPG, native OS tools (macOS Preview, Windows Photos) work fine for single files. The converter is faster for batch processing. Alternative: CloudConvert handles more exotic formats (RAW camera files, SVG) but requires uploading to their servers.

Example

A typical iPhone 14 photo: 4.1 MB HEIC at 4032×3024 → 2.8 MB JPG (91% quality) or 1.6 MB WebP (80% quality), both visually identical to the original at normal viewing distance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows for free?
Drop HEIC files into this converter — it runs in your browser, no software install or Windows HEIC extension needed. Outputs standard JPGs that work everywhere.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
HEIC is already compressed, so going to JPG at 85-90% quality is visually indistinguishable. Expect a 10-30% file size increase because JPG is less efficient than HEIC.
Can I batch convert an entire iPhone photo album?
Yes — drop multiple HEICs at once, pick target format and quality, and download a single zip.
Why do my PNG → JPG conversions have a black background?
Because PNG supports transparency and JPG doesn't. Pick a background color in the converter (white is typical) and transparent pixels are filled with that color.
Is AVIF ready for production?
Yes for browser use — AVIF is supported in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+, Edge 121+. Serve AVIF with a WebP or JPG fallback via <picture> for older browsers.
Does the tool preserve EXIF metadata?
By default yes (rotation, camera info). Toggle strip metadata to remove GPS coordinates and camera signatures for privacy.
