Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG
Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to universally-compatible JPG in your browser. No uploads — your photos stay private.
Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default since iOS 11 — about half the size of JPG at the same quality. The downside: Windows, many websites, and older macOS versions can't read HEIC natively. This preset converts HEIC to JPG in your browser so you can upload, email, or share the photo anywhere. Best used in Safari (native HEIC decoding); in Chrome / Firefox on Windows, some HEIC files may fail — in that case, use the iOS "Export as JPG" share option on your iPhone instead.
What is Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG?
Convert images between PNG, JPG, and WebP in a click. Useful when a site or app insists on a specific format, when you want WebP for smaller downloads, or when you need PNG for transparent-background logos. The tool renders through Canvas so colour profiles are preserved as much as the source allows. Input can be any format modern browsers decode — including GIF, BMP, and AVIF in many browsers.

- Drop any image onto the upload zone.
- Choose the target format: PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Common use cases for Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG
- Converting an HEIC photo from an iPhone to JPG for a Windows upload.
- Swapping PNGs to WebP to save bandwidth on a site deploy.
- Preparing a transparent logo in PNG after receiving it as JPG.
- Bulk-translating camera AVIFs to JPG for a legacy editor.
- Downloading a favicon as ICO after designing it as PNG.
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Transparency disappeared after JPG — JPG has no alpha channel. Use PNG or WebP if transparency matters.
- Output is huge after PNG → PNG — PNG is lossless; there is nothing to recompress. Try WebP lossless or skip the conversion.
- HEIC does not decode — Safari supports HEIC natively; Chromium does not. In Chrome/Firefox, convert the HEIC with a desktop tool first.
When should I use Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG?
Choose Image Converter for format switches. If you also need smaller file size, Image Compressor exposes a quality slider with a split-view preview. To change resolution at the same time as format, Image Resizer handles both in one pass.
Why does HEIC fail in Chrome?
Chromium on Windows / Linux does not natively decode HEIC. Either use Safari, or export as JPG directly from iOS via the share sheet.
Will the JPG be much bigger?
Typically 1.5–2× larger at 88% quality. If size matters, use WebP instead of JPG (also universally supported in modern browsers).
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — the file never leaves your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
