How to use it
Add your photos
Drop HEIC photos or a whole folder on the box, or paste them. Add as many as you like.
Choose JPG, PNG or WebP
Keep the quality as it is, or set a size limit such as under 200 KB for an upload form.
Download them
Save one file, a ZIP of the lot, or send them straight to a folder. Nothing is uploaded.
They are converted on your own device, so nothing is uploaded, there is no daily limit, and the date taken and the colours stay. Need a smaller file for a form? Set a size limit such as under 200 KB.
Why use this converter and not another
Many online converters upload your photos to a server, cap how many you can do a day, and ask you to sign up for more. This one does none of that, because the work happens in your browser.
- Nothing is uploaded. Your photos are opened and converted on your own device. Open your browser's Network tab while you convert to see for yourself.
- No limits. No daily cap, no limit on how many files, no file-size cap other than your device's memory, no watermark and no account.
- Keep it under a size. Set a file size limit (100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB or 5 MB) for a form or an email. It keeps the best quality that fits and shrinks the picture only if it has to.
- True colours. The colour profile is kept, so wide-colour pictures are not washed out, or you can convert to standard sRGB for the widest compatibility.
- Date, camera and location kept, or removed for real. The date taken stays so your photos sort in order. Choose "Remove location" to share privately: the coordinates are erased from the file, not just hidden.
- Upright every time. Portrait photos come out the right way up, and are never turned twice.
- Batches and folders. Drop a whole folder. Download one ZIP, or save straight into a folder on Chrome and Edge; on a phone, send them to your photo library.
Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android
The steps are the same everywhere, because the page runs in the browser you already have.
On Windows 10 and 11
Open this page in Edge or Chrome, drop the HEIC files on the box and download the JPGs. Windows can open HEIC itself only after you add codecs from the Microsoft Store, and many programs and upload forms still refuse the files, which is why converting is the quick way out.
On a Mac
For one photo, open it in Preview and choose File, Export, JPEG. For a whole folder, drag the folder onto this page. The photos keep their date taken, and the ZIP keeps your folder structure.
On an iPhone or iPad
This page works in Safari. Choose your photos, convert, and use Save to Photos to put the JPGs back in your library. To stop taking HEIC in the first place, go to Settings, Camera, Formats and choose Most Compatible.
On Android
Most Android phones save JPG already, but some (Samsung among them) can save HEIC. Open this page in Chrome, add the photos and download the JPGs.
HEIC to JPG under 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB
Government portals, job applications and email systems often cap a photo at a size. Set File size limit and the converter finds the highest quality that fits. If even a fairly low quality is too big, it makes the picture smaller, then raises the quality again at the new size. Here is what it did to 20 real 12-megapixel iPhone photos (measured on 4 November 2026):
| Under | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 5 MB | Full size, nothing lost | All 20 photos already fit at quality 90, so they are converted as they are. |
| 2 MB | Full size | All 20 kept every pixel; quality 70 to 90 (median 82). |
| 1 MB | Full size for half, a little smaller for the rest | 10 of 20 kept every pixel at quality 52 to 88; the rest were scaled down by up to 42%. |
| 500 KB | About half the pixels | Median 44% of the pixels kept, at quality about 60. |
| 200 KB | About 1200 × 1600 | Median 16% of the pixels kept (around 2 megapixels), at quality about 62. |
| 100 KB | About 800 × 1000 | Median 7% of the pixels kept (under 1 megapixel), at quality about 61. |
Every one of the 20 landed within about 2% under the limit. A photo with a lot of fine detail needs more shrinking than a plain one. If the result is still too big for a portal, lower the limit a step.
HEIC vs JPG
- Size. HEIC stores a photo in roughly half the space of a JPG at similar quality. In our 300-photo test the JPGs came out about 13% bigger in total.
- Support. JPG opens in every program, website, printer and upload form. HEIC opens in Apple's apps and in newer versions of other software.
- Features. HEIC can hold wide colour (Display P3), Live Photos and depth data. A JPG holds one picture; this converter keeps its colours.
Keep HEIC on your phone to save space, and convert to JPG when a person or a website needs it.
Why photos can look dull after converting, and how this avoids it
iPhones save photos in a wide colour space called Display P3. Many converters throw that information away, so the JPG shows the same numbers in the narrower sRGB space and the colours look flat. This converter keeps the P3 colour profile inside the JPG by default, so colours stay as you took them. If you would rather have the most widely compatible file, choose Convert to sRGB under More options and the colours are converted properly.
How we checked it
- 300 real iPhone photos converted in one batch with no failures, on a desktop profile and on a phone-sized memory profile.
- Colour conversion to sRGB agrees with the standard open-source colour engine (littleCMS) to within an average of 0.55 out of 255 on a real iPhone photo.
- After Remove location, a search of the finished file finds none of the original coordinate bytes.
- Portrait photos come out upright with the orientation tag reset; the date taken and camera details are preserved.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG?
Drop your HEIC photos on the box above (or press Choose photos, or paste them), leave the format on JPG and press Download. Each photo converts on your own device in about a second. For several photos you get one ZIP, or you can save them straight into a folder.
Is this HEIC to JPG converter really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit and no cap on how many photos you add or how big they are. The work happens in your browser instead of on our servers, so each conversion costs us nothing, which is why the limits can stay off.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Photos are opened, converted and saved on your own device. You can check it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab and drop a photo in. The only files fetched are the converter's own, never your photo.
How do I convert many HEIC photos to JPG at once?
Add as many as you like, or drop a whole folder with its subfolders. They convert several at a time, and you can download them all as one ZIP (which keeps the folders and each photo's date taken) or save them straight into a folder in Chrome and Edge. In our own test, 300 real iPhone photos converted in one batch with no failures.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG under 100 KB, 200 KB or 2 MB?
Set File size limit to the size you need. The converter finds the highest quality that fits, and shrinks the picture itself only if it has to. As a guide for a 12-megapixel iPhone photo: under 2 MB keeps every pixel, under 500 KB keeps about half of them, under 200 KB gives roughly 1200 × 1600 and under 100 KB roughly 800 × 1000. The table on this page has the measured results.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows 10 or 11?
Open this page in Edge or Chrome, drop the files in and download the JPGs: nothing to install. Windows can open HEIC itself only after you add codecs from the Microsoft Store (one of them can cost about a dollar), and many programs and websites still refuse the files, so converting is usually quicker.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac?
For one photo, open it in Preview and choose File, then Export, then JPEG. For many, drop them on this page, or in the Photos app choose File, then Export, then Export Photos, and set Photo Kind to JPEG.
How do I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?
Open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you already took stay HEIC, which is where a converter helps.
Do I lose quality when I convert HEIC to JPG?
A little, in principle: both formats compress, so converting compresses the picture again. At the default quality of 90 the difference is not visible. The JPG is usually larger than the HEIC because JPG is the less efficient format (in our 300-photo test the JPGs were about 13% larger in total). Choose PNG if you want no further loss; the files are much bigger.
Will the JPG keep the date, location and colours?
Yes, by default. The date taken and camera details are kept (the Photos app orders pictures by that date), the picture is turned upright, and the Display P3 colour profile is kept so colours are not dulled. Under Photo details choose Remove location only, or Remove all details, to share privately. The location is erased from the file, not just hidden.
What is a HEIC file, and why can't I open it?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones have saved by default since iOS 11. It stores a photo in roughly half the space of a JPG. It opens in Apple's apps, but many Windows programs, websites, print shops and upload forms do not accept it, so people convert HEIC to JPG.
Is HEIC or JPG better?
HEIC is better for storage: about half the size at similar quality, with room for wide colour and Live Photos. JPG is better for sharing: it opens everywhere. Keep HEIC on the phone and convert to JPG when a person or a website needs it.
Does it work with Live Photos, HDR photos and photos from Android?
A Live Photo converts to its still picture; the small video file (MOV) beside it is skipped. HDR photos convert to the standard picture, which is what any JPG viewer shows. HEIC photos from Samsung and other Android phones work the same way. A few rare HEIF variants (made with AV1 or plain JPEG inside) are not supported.
