How It Works
Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG in three simple steps
Upload HEIC Files
Transfer your HEIC or HEIF files from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and drop them onto the upload area. Works on any device — Windows, Android, Linux — regardless of whether HEIC is natively supported. Upload up to 20 files and 200 MB total on the free plan.
Choose Output Settings
Select JPG quality (85 recommended for the best size/quality balance), output format, and orientation handling. Enable "Auto-rotate using EXIF" to correct sideways or upside-down photos automatically. Choose whether to preserve or strip GPS location metadata.
Download JPG Files
Receive your photos as universally-compatible JPG files, ready to share by email, upload to social media, print, or open on any device. Multiple files are packaged into a ZIP archive. Each JPG retains the original photo's resolution and colour accuracy.
HEIC to JPG Converter Features
The fastest way to make iPhone photos universally compatible
Full HEIC/HEIF Support
Supports both HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) and HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) — the formats used by all iPhones and iPads running iOS 11 and later, as well as Macs running macOS High Sierra and later. Also handles HEIF images from Android devices and Windows Camera.
Batch Convert 20 Files
Upload and convert up to 20 HEIC files in a single batch. All files are converted simultaneously with the same settings and packaged as individual JPGs in a ZIP archive. Ideal for converting a camera roll export or holiday photo album in one go without clicking through each file.
Auto Orientation Correction
iPhone photos store rotation data in EXIF metadata rather than baking it into the pixel data. Many apps and platforms don't read EXIF rotation, displaying photos sideways or upside-down. Our converter reads the EXIF orientation flag and physically rotates the pixel data before saving, so the JPG displays correctly everywhere.
EXIF Preservation Option
Choose to preserve or strip EXIF metadata during conversion. Preserving EXIF keeps camera settings, dates, and location data in the JPG. Stripping EXIF removes all metadata including GPS coordinates — recommended when sharing photos publicly to protect your privacy.
Quality Control
Choose JPG quality from 60 (compact) to 95 (near-lossless). At quality 85, the output is visually indistinguishable from the HEIC source at half the file size. Lower quality settings further reduce file size for email attachments or social media uploads where size limits apply.
100% Private & Secure
Your photos are uploaded over TLS 1.3 and processed in isolated server containers. Both the HEIC source files and JPG outputs are permanently deleted within 24 hours. We never view, index, or share your photos. No account or signup required.

Frequently Asked Questions
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's implementation of the HEIF standard, introduced with iOS 11 in 2017. It uses the HEVC (H.265) codec to compress photos at roughly half the file size of JPG while maintaining the same perceived visual quality. Apple chose HEIC to save storage space on iPhones with limited internal memory. The downside is that HEIC is not widely supported outside of Apple's ecosystem — Windows, most Android apps, and many web services still require JPG.
At quality 85–95, the visual difference between the HEIC original and the JPG output is imperceptible at normal viewing sizes and on standard displays. Both formats use lossy compression, but the HEIC standard is more efficient — so a JPG at equivalent perceived quality will be larger than the HEIC. At quality 85 (the default), the output looks identical to the original while being universally compatible. Only at quality 60 or below will compression artefacts become visible in areas like skies and smooth gradients.
Several options: (1) AirDrop to a Mac, then upload from Finder. (2) Connect via USB and use Image Capture or Windows Photos to import — Windows will sometimes auto-convert to JPG, but you can disable this. (3) On iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible forces future photos to save as JPG. (4) Use iCloud Photos and download from icloud.com on any browser — downloads come as JPG automatically. (5) Share the photo to yourself via email or WhatsApp — both convert HEIC to JPG automatically.
Yes. HEIF (.heif) files from Android devices and the Windows Camera app use the same underlying format as Apple's HEIC. Both file extensions are supported. Some Android manufacturers use .heif as the extension while Apple uses .heic — our converter handles both interchangeably.
This happens when the EXIF orientation flag in the converted JPG is not being read correctly by the application you're using to view it. Make sure "Auto-rotate using EXIF" is enabled in the Advanced options — this physically rotates the pixel data so the JPG displays correctly in all applications, not just those that read EXIF orientation. If you've already converted and the photos appear sideways, run them through the converter again with auto-rotate enabled.
Yes. All uploads are encrypted with TLS 1.3 and processed in isolated server containers. Both the HEIC source files and the JPG outputs are permanently deleted within 24 hours. We never view, index, or share your photos. No account or signup is required to use the converter.
