HEIC to JPG Converter
About HEIC Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG or PNG so they open anywhere. Add one photo or a whole batch — a single file downloads directly, more than one downloads as a zip.
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default — a format that compresses better than JPG, but that plenty of older software, websites, and non-Apple devices still can't open directly. Almost every free HEIC converter online solves this by uploading your photos to their server, converting them there, and sending the result back — which means your photos, even briefly, sit on someone else's infrastructure. This one decodes and re-encodes entirely in your browser using the same WebAssembly HEIC decoder Photo Organizer already uses, so nothing ever leaves your device.
Pick JPG for the smallest files and the widest compatibility, or PNG when you need a lossless result (rare for photos, but occasionally useful for a HEIC screenshot with sharp edges or text). A batch of many photos converts one at a time and comes back as a single zip, named to avoid collisions if two source files happen to share a name.
A HEIC file that's corrupted or uses an unsupported HEIF profile is skipped rather than stopping the whole batch — you get everything that could be converted, plus a note listing anything that couldn't.

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and re-encoding both happen in your browser using a WebAssembly HEIC decoder — your photos never leave your device.
Why do iPhone photos save as HEIC in the first place?
HEIC compresses better than JPG at the same visual quality, so photos take up less storage. The tradeoff is compatibility — plenty of software and non-Apple devices still can't open it directly, which is the whole reason this tool exists.
What happens if one photo in my batch fails to convert?
It's skipped and listed by name after conversion finishes — the rest of the batch still converts and downloads normally. This can happen with a corrupted file or an unusual HEIF profile.
Should I pick JPG or PNG?
JPG for almost everything — smaller files, and every photo, website and device already supports it. PNG only if you specifically need a lossless result, which produces a noticeably larger file for a real photo.
Is there a limit on how many photos I can convert?
Up to 50 at a time, processed one by one so a large batch doesn't freeze the tab.
