How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Choose or drop your HEIC photos: one, or up to ten at a time, 12 MB each. They are opened in your browser, not uploaded.
- The first photo becomes a JPG on its own, the right way up, at quality 92; there is no button to press. For a smaller or sharper file, move Quality under More options.
- Download the JPG, or press "Download all" to get every photo as a JPG in one zip. Each keeps its name: IMG_2041.HEIC comes back as IMG_2041.jpg.
Before and after
The same photo, before and after — the picture is unchanged; the file is one that opens everywhere.

What this tool does
Choose one HEIC photo, or up to ten. If your browser can open HEIC itself (a recent Safari on an iPhone or a Mac can), it does; otherwise the page loads libheif — an open-source HEIC decoder (LGPL-3.0), served from this site with its licence and source beside it (/heif/1.23.2/SOURCE.txt) — and opens the photo with it, inside your browser tab. It takes the main picture of the file (a HEIC can hold more than one), turns it the way the file says — an iPhone stores a photo taken upright on its side, with a rotation flag — and saves it as a JPG at quality 92, which you can change under More options. A picture over 16 megapixels is brought down to 16 first. With several photos the first is shown, and "Download all" gives you every JPG in one zip. Nothing is uploaded, no watermark is added, and the photo's hidden details (camera, location, date) are not copied into the JPG.
Why are my iPhone photos HEIC?
Because HEIC saves space. Apple says its High Efficiency format (HEIF, saved on an iPhone as .HEIC files) uses less storage than JPEG while keeping the same visual quality, and every iPhone from the iPhone 7 on can take photos in it. The catch is that many PCs, apps and upload forms still cannot open a HEIC, while a JPG opens almost everywhere — which is why people convert.
- To make your iPhone save new photos as JPG, open Settings, tap Camera, tap Formats, then tap Most Compatible. Apple says all new photos then use JPEG; choose High Efficiency to go back.
- The setting changes new photos only. Photos you have already taken stay HEIC; convert those here, up to ten at a time.
- Sending a photo by AirDrop, Messages or email may convert it for you: Apple says it might be shared as a JPEG when the receiving device does not support HEIF.
- Copying photos to a PC with a USB cable may convert them to JPEG too, unless Keep Originals is chosen in Settings > Apps > Photos.
- On a Mac, open the photo in Photos or Preview, choose File > Export, and pick JPEG.
How do I open a HEIC file on Windows?
Windows opens HEIC photos once two Microsoft Store add-ons are installed, HEIF Image Extension and HEVC Video Extensions; or convert the photo to JPG, which any Windows PC opens with nothing to install. Microsoft's listing for HEIF Image Extension says the HEVC package must also be installed to view images in .heic files. HEIF Image Extension is free; HEVC Video Extensions is a paid add-on.
- You do not need either add-on to use this page. In Chrome, Edge or Firefox on Windows it loads its own HEIC decoder, libheif, and converts the photo inside the tab.
- If you only want to look at your photos on your own PC, the add-ons are enough. To send them to someone or upload them to a website, a JPG is more likely to work, because the other end may not have the add-ons.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG under 100 KB?
Convert the photo to JPG here, then shrink the JPG with Compress an image, which makes a picture smaller than 20, 50, 100 or 200 KB, or any size you type, also in your browser. This converter changes the format, not the size in KB: it keeps the photo's full size up to 16 megapixels, so a phone photo's JPG usually comes out well over 100 KB. Lowering Quality under More options makes the file smaller, but it does not aim at a size in KB.
| The form asks for | What to do |
|---|---|
| A JPG, any size | Convert here. That is all. |
| A JPG under a size in KB, such as 100 KB | Convert here, then open the JPG in Compress an image and type the size. |
| A photo and a signature within set KB and pixels | Convert here, then use Resize a photo and signature for an exam form. |
| A passport-size photo | Convert here, then use Make a passport-size photo. |
What happens to your file
Your file never leaves your device. This page opens it, changes it and saves the result in your browser; nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy on our servers to delete.
No AI provider sees it either. The page sends us one count that a run happened — no file, no name, no size. Details on the privacy page.
Questions
Does my photo get uploaded?
No. The page opens the photo, converts it and saves the JPG inside your browser tab; nothing is uploaded and there is no copy on our servers. When your browser needs the HEIC decoder, it is loaded from this site, not from anyone else's. If you accept analytics, the page tells us only that it was opened and that a conversion ran — never the photo, its name or its size.
Is it free, and can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes to both: it is free, with no sign-up, and it takes up to ten photos at a time, 12 MB each. Choose or drop them together; the first is shown so you can check it, and "Download all" converts every one with the same settings into a single zip. A file that will not open is named and left out; the rest still download.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
A little, because JPG always compresses the picture; to keep that small, the page saves at quality 92, a high setting, and you can raise it to 100, or lower it for a smaller file, under More options. The photo keeps its size in pixels up to 16 megapixels; a larger one, such as a 24 or 48 megapixel photo, is brought down to 16 megapixels and the page says so. It also comes out the right way up: the page follows the rotation the HEIC records.
Can I convert HEIC to JPG on my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes, in the phone's browser, with nothing to install. If the browser can open HEIC itself, as a recent Safari on an iPhone can, it does; otherwise the page first loads its HEIC decoder from this site, which can take a few seconds. Photos are opened one at a time to spare the phone's memory, and if a photo is too large for the browser, the page says so.
Does it keep the date and location, or add a watermark?
No to both. The date, location and camera details stored in the photo are not copied into the JPG, so they do not travel with it, and there is no setting to keep them. No watermark or visible mark is added. The file does carry a small metadata record (XMP) saying it was made with filedone.ai, with human edits and no AI, and a provenance id.
