How it works
Converting takes about a minute and happens entirely on this page. There is no account, no email, and no watermark — just files in, JPGs out.
Press “Select HEIC Images” and pick one photo or many — drag and drop works too. Up to 30 files, 40 MB each and 200 MB in total, are accepted per run.
Select HEIC images
Choose filesYour photos are not uploaded to any server.
Every image shows a thumbnail, its filename, and its pixel dimensions. Remove anything you do not want to convert — validation problems appear right away, with a message explaining what to fix.
Press “Convert to JPG”. Each photo is decoded and re-encoded as a real .jpg file at its original dimensions. Progress is shown per file, and one failing image never stops the rest.
Save images one by one with the download button on each result, or press “Download all JPGs” to get the whole batch. Your browser may ask for permission before saving several files at once.
The same converter also builds documents: if you need one file instead of many, use the HEIC to PDF converter to combine the same photos into a single multi-page PDF.
Inside the converter
The list on the left is your batch, each card carries the file name and its pixel dimensions, and the results appear right underneath once the conversion finishes.

Open the converterFile handling
Files are read, decoded, and encoded to JPG inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create.
Read the privacy policyYou pick files with the browser's own file picker, and the page reads them straight from disk. The batch never travels anywhere — it stays in this tab until you close it.
HEIC decoding and JPEG encoding both run in this browser tab, using your device's own memory. Large batches simply take longer on older phones — they are never sent off to be processed elsewhere.
Each result is a normal JPG handed to your browser's download — no account, no storage, no copy kept anywhere else.
HEIC is efficient but not universal. Converting to JPG trades a little file size for compatibility almost everywhere — and since JPG has been the default for decades, it is the format everything else already expects.
If you are not sure which format you actually have, the HEIC file guide explains HEIC, HEIF, and JPEG side by side.
A camera roll is never one photo, so this converter is batch-first: select a whole folder’s worth of images and turn them all into JPGs in a single run.
.jpg extension), and duplicate names are given a suffix so nothing overwrites anything.Converting the same photos into one document instead? The merge guide shows how to combine them into a single PDF in order.
HEIC is created on iPhone and iPads, but it is often needed elsewhere. The converter is the same in every browser — only the file picker changes.
Everything runs on the device you are using, so a large batch on an older phone may take longer than on a desktop — the conversion itself is identical.
Both hold the same kind of picture; they differ in how the bytes are stored and who can read them.
| HEIC | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), a HEIF file written by iPhones and iPads | JPG (JPEG) — the universal photo format of the last thirty years |
| Compression | HEVC (H.265) — roughly half the file size of a JPG at similar quality | Larger files for the same picture, but every device handles them |
| Transparency | Can store an alpha channel (transparent areas) | No alpha channel — this converter composites transparent areas onto white |
| Compatibility | Opens natively on iPhone, Mac, and recent Android; often rejected elsewhere | Opens everywhere: browsers, email, forms, printers, older software |
| Editing | Keeps more data for adjustments, but fewer editors support it | Supported by virtually every editor, though each save re-compresses it |
The short version: HEIC is the better archive format, JPG is the better exchange format. Keep your originals, share the JPGs. A fuller comparison lives in the HEIC file guide.
Most problems have a specific cause and a quick fix:
Files are checked by reading their actual contents, not by the extension. A renamed JPG, PNG, or screenshot that only claims to be .heic is rejected with this message — re-export the photo as HEIC, or convert the file with a tool that accepts it.
Limits are 40 MB per file, 200 MB per run, and 64 megapixels per image. Export a smaller copy of the photo, or convert the largest images in a separate run.
The file may be truncated, still uploading from a phone, or use an encoding this decoder cannot read. Open the original in Photos or Preview to confirm it is intact, then try again — the other files in the batch convert normally.
“Download all JPGs” asks the browser to save one file per image, and some browsers prompt before allowing that. Allow the prompt once, or use the individual download buttons on each result instead.
Decoding happens on your device, so memory is the limit on older phones. Close other apps, convert fewer images at a time, and keep this tab in the foreground while it runs.
JPG has no transparency. The converter places every image on a white background before encoding, so transparent pixels become white rather than black.
Still stuck? Check the original file opens normally in Photos or Preview — if it does not open there either, the file itself is damaged and needs to be re-exported or re-synced from your library.
Yes. It is free to use with no account and no software to install. Each run accepts up to 30 images, 40 MB each and 200 MB in total, and you can run it as many times as you need.
No. Your files are read, decoded, and encoded to JPG entirely inside this browser tab. The page makes no network requests with your image data, so the photos never leave your device.
No. The converter runs in the browser — there is no app, plugin, or extension. All you need is a current browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox.
Yes. Select up to 30 files in one go and each becomes its own JPG. After converting you can download results individually or press “Download all JPGs” to save the whole batch.
Each JPG keeps the original pixel dimensions — images are never scaled down or cropped. They are encoded as JPEG at high quality (0.92), which keeps files sharp while making them smaller than the HEIC original.
JPEG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white before encoding. Nothing turns black, and the rest of the image is unchanged.
Yes. The decoder honours the rotation and mirroring information stored in the HEIC file, so a portrait photo comes out as a portrait JPG — you do not need to rotate it afterwards.
HEIC and HEIF images with a .heic or .heif extension. Every file is identified by its real content, so a renamed file that is not actually a HEIC image is rejected with a clear message instead of failing halfway through.
Yes. It runs in the browser on every modern desktop and mobile platform — Safari on iPhone and Mac, Chrome on Windows, Android, and Chromebooks. Since conversion uses your device’s memory, older phones may need smaller batches.
Yes. If you need one document rather than separate images, the free HEIC to PDF converter combines your photos into a single multi-page PDF with the order under your control.
