HEIC to JPG
- Browser-based

Upload HEIC or HEIF photos from an iPhone or camera and convert them to JPG in your browser with heic2any. Adjust quality and download—files are not uploaded to a server.
iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC by default. Windows, older CMS platforms, and some email clients still expect JPEG. Converting locally avoids uploading personal photos to a server when you use this browser-based tool.
Adjust quality when file size matters. A high-quality JPEG from HEIC is often still smaller than the original HEIC while remaining compatible everywhere.
Convert one test file first when batching a folder—very large resolutions may need Resize Image afterward for web publishing.
Live Photos exported as HEIC stills convert like any other HEIC still; motion and depth metadata are not preserved in a flat JPEG.
Windows 11 can open HEIC natively with an optional codec, but JPEG remains the safer choice when emailing photos to relatives on older PCs.
EXIF orientation tags are applied on export so portraits appear upright in viewers that respect JPEG metadata.
