How to use HEIC to JPG Converter

  1. 01

    Upload your HEIC photo

    Drag in a photo straight from your iPhone or iPad camera roll, or click to browse. The file travels to our server over an encrypted HTTPS connection.

  2. 02

    We decode it and fix the orientation

    The server reads the HEIC file and automatically corrects EXIF rotation, so portrait shots taken sideways always come out upright — no manual rotating needed.

  3. 03

    Choose the JPG quality and background color

    Set the JPG quality (default 92), and pick a background color for any transparent pixels — since JPG has no alpha channel, transparent areas are filled with this color (white by default).

  4. 04

    Download your JPG

    The server encodes the final JPG and strips metadata like GPS location. The original HEIC and the converted JPG are both deleted automatically within 24 hours, so download promptly.

Why choose our HEIC to JPG Converter

Photos always come out upright

EXIF orientation is corrected automatically during decoding, so sideways or upside-down shots are fixed without you touching a rotate tool.

Metadata stripped, files auto-deleted

GPS location and device info are removed from the output JPG. Uploads travel over HTTPS, and both the original and the converted file are deleted from our servers within 24 hours.

3 free conversions, no credit card

Anonymous visitors get 1 free server conversion; signing in with a free account raises that to 3 conversions and lifts the file-size limit from 20 MB to 50 MB.

Batch convert a whole camera roll

Paid accounts can upload up to 100 HEIC files at once and download every converted JPG in a single ZIP.

Works even where your browser can't

Most desktop browsers cannot decode HEIC natively. Because conversion happens on our server, it works from any device without installing a codec.

Settings guide

Quality (1–100)
The default of 92 keeps iPhone photos visually identical to the original. Lower it to 75–85 to get noticeably smaller files for email or the web; values above 95 mostly increase file size without a visible difference.
Background color
JPG cannot store transparency, so any transparent pixels are filled with this color (a #rrggbb value, white by default). Most iPhone photos are fully opaque, but if yours has transparency, pick a color that matches where the image will be used.
Automatic processing
Beyond quality and background color, everything else is handled for you: EXIF orientation is corrected so photos never come out sideways, any transparency is flattened onto your chosen background color, and metadata (location, device info) is stripped from the output for privacy.

About the formats

HEIC

HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It stores images compressed with the HEVC (H.265) codec inside a HEIF container, producing files roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG.

Its compression is excellent and it supports features like 10-bit color and image sequences. The weakness is compatibility: Windows often needs paid codec extensions, most websites and upload forms reject it, and Android support is inconsistent. Converting HEIC to JPG remains the most reliable way to share iPhone photos outside the Apple ecosystem.

JPG

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used lossy image format for photographs, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. Practically every camera, phone, and image application can create and open it.

Its strengths are small file sizes for photos and universal compatibility across devices, browsers, and software. The trade-offs: lossy compression introduces artifacts, there is no transparency support, and quality degrades a little more with every re-save. Use JPG for photographs; choose PNG for screenshots, logos, or anything that needs sharp edges or transparency.

Troubleshooting

My file was rejected as an invalid HEIC
Make sure it is a real HEIC/HEIF photo taken with an iPhone or iPad camera. Screenshots are usually PNG and images saved from apps are often JPG, even if someone renamed them with a .heic extension — renaming does not change the actual format.
It asks me to sign in after one conversion
HEIC conversion runs on our servers, and anonymous visitors get 1 free server conversion. Sign in (free) to receive 3 free conversions, raise the file-size limit from 20 MB to 50 MB, and keep converting.
Is my photo stored on your servers?
Only briefly. The upload travels over HTTPS, the original is deleted within 6–24 hours, and the converted JPG is deleted within 24 hours — download it right away. Metadata such as GPS location is also stripped from the output.

FAQ

What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iOS and macOS. It offers better compression than JPG while maintaining quality.
Is the conversion private?
Yes. Your files are processed securely and deleted after conversion. We never share your photos.
Is there a file size limit?
Free accounts can upload files up to 50 MB. Paid users can upload up to 200 MB.
What does the quality setting control?
The default of 90 keeps iPhone photos visually identical to the original. Lower it to 75–85 for noticeably smaller files, or raise above 95 only if you need maximum fidelity — it rarely makes a visible difference.
Why was my file rejected as an invalid HEIC?
Make sure it is a real HEIC/HEIF photo taken with an iPhone or iPad camera. Renaming a screenshot or a JPG to .heic does not change its actual format, and the upload will be rejected.
Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?
Signed-in users can batch-convert up to 5 files on the free plan and up to 100 files on a paid plan, and download all results as a single ZIP.
How long do you keep my files?
Uploads travel over HTTPS. The original HEIC is deleted within 6–24 hours and the converted JPG within 24 hours, so download your result promptly.
