About HEIC to JPG Converter

Apple introduced HEIC as the default camera format in iOS 11, cutting photo storage roughly in half. The catch: Windows, Android, and most web services cannot open HEIC files without conversion. This tool decodes HEIC in the browser using the LIBHEIF WebAssembly port, outputting standard JPEG files that work everywhere.

How It Works

The HEIC decoder runs entirely in your browser as a WebAssembly module. When you drop an HEIC file, the tool reads it as a binary blob, passes the bytes to the decoder, and receives raw pixel data back. That pixel data is drawn to a canvas element, which then exports a standard JPEG at your chosen quality level.

For batch conversion, each file is processed sequentially. A ZIP archive is assembled in memory using JSZip and offered as a single download — no server involved at any point.

Who Is This For

A Windows user trying to open iPhone photos they received from a family member via AirDrop or iCloud link.

A web developer preparing user-uploaded iPhone photos for display on a site that only accepts JPEG/PNG.

A freelancer sending portfolio shots to a client whose design tool rejects HEIC files.

Someone clearing iPhone storage by converting old HEIC photos to JPG for backup on a non-Apple service.

How to Use

Drag and drop your HEIC/HEIF files onto the upload zone, or click to browse

Adjust quality with the slider (90% is recommended for most photos)

Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is based on the HEIF standard. Apple switched to it in iOS 11 because it stores photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG at the same visual quality. The trade-off is compatibility — most Windows apps, websites, and older software cannot open HEIC files directly.

No. All conversion happens inside your browser using a JavaScript HEIC decoder. Your photos never leave your device. This is why the tool works offline once the page loads.

For sharing on social media or via email, 85% is a solid balance between file size and sharpness. For printing or archiving, keep it at 95%+. Below 75%, compression artifacts become noticeable on photo edges and gradients.

The tool converts the still frame embedded in the HEIC file. The motion/video portion of a Live Photo is in a separate MOV file and is not included in the JPG output.
