How to Convert HEIC to JPG
HEIC is the format your iPhone uses by default — but Windows PCs and many apps, websites, and email clients still can't open it. A quick way to turn a HEIC into a JPG is the browser converter below; it runs in your browser and never uploads your photo.

Private by design — your photos are converted on your device and never uploaded.
Convert HEIC to JPG in your browser

Add your HEIC photo

Wait a moment while it converts
The converter decodes your photo using WebAssembly directly in your browser. A large iPhone photo (12MP) typically takes just a few seconds.

Download your JPG
When the conversion finishes, a preview appears with a Download button. Click it to save the .jpg file to your computer or phone.
Why won't my HEIC open?
Apple switched to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) with iOS 11 because it stores photos in a smaller file than JPG while keeping high quality. The problem is that HEIC support outside the Apple ecosystem is patchy:
- Windows usually can't open HEIC out of the box — it needs the free HEIF Image Extensions, and many PCs also need an HEVC codec.
- WordPress and some CMS tools may not accept HEIC uploads (WordPress 6.7 and later can convert HEIC to JPEG automatically when the server supports it).
- Email and web forms often require JPG, PNG, or PDF.
Converting to JPG makes your photo compatible with far more apps, websites, and devices. And because this tool runs entirely in your browser, your photo never leaves your device — unlike most "free online converters" that upload your images to their servers first.
Prefer a native option on your device?
- Windows — open HEIC in the Photos app after adding the codecs your PC needs, or convert in your browser.
- Mac — export one photo or a whole batch with Preview, or use the Terminal for scripting.
- iPhone — use the Shortcuts app, or change the camera format for future photos.
