How it works
The short answer
Open the HEIC to JPG converter, add your iPhone photo, and download the JPG. It converts in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and the result opens on any device.
Why you need to convert
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, which many computers, browsers and apps cannot open. Converting to JPG makes them viewable anywhere, which is why HEIC to JPG is such a common search.
Convert one or many
You can convert a single photo or a whole batch at once and download them together, ideal for clearing a folder of iPhone photos before sharing or archiving.
Keep the quality you need
JPG is lossy, so the conversion discards some detail. Choose High quality for the best result, and keep the original HEIC if you plan to edit it again.
Other targets
If you need transparency or a modern web format, convert HEIC to PNG or WebP instead. JPG is best for maximum compatibility, while WebP suits websites and PNG suits graphics.
