How to convert HEIC to JPG

Change HEIC to JPG in three steps, in any browser.

  1. Add your HEIC photos

    Drop HEIC or HEIF files on the box, or pick them from Files or Photos. Each photo appears as a card with a preview.

  2. Pick JPG or PNG

    JPG is small and opens anywhere; HEIC to PNG keeps every pixel. Set the quality and which photo details to keep.

  3. Convert and download

    Press Convert, then Download. Several photos arrive in one ZIP file, and on an iPhone you can save them to Photos.

Why your iPhone photos are HEIC

Since iOS 11 the iPhone camera saves photos as HEIC whenever Settings, Camera, Formats is on High Efficiency, which is the default. HEIC is a HEIF picture compressed with HEVC, the method used for 4K video, so a photo takes about half the space of the same shot as a JPG.

The catch is that plenty of places still cannot open it. Windows needs extra extensions from the Microsoft Store, older Android phones and photo printers show nothing, and many upload forms for jobs, schools and shops accept only JPG or PNG.

Converting makes a copy that works everywhere, while your HEIC originals stay untouched. To have the camera take JPG from now on, choose Most Compatible instead of High Efficiency in the same menu; photos already taken stay HEIC.

HEIC vs JPG: quality, size and colour

JPG compresses less cleverly than HEIC, so it needs more bytes for the same detail. At the default quality of 90 the JPG came out about as large as the HEIC in our tests on iPhone photos, and side by side the two are hard to tell apart.

iPhones shoot in Display P3, a wider colour range than the sRGB most images use. Each JPG carries that colour profile, so reds, greens and skies look the same as in the original instead of slightly flat or washed out.

For no loss at all, choose PNG. It stores every pixel exactly, but a photo becomes five to seven times larger than its HEIC. Use JPG for sharing, email and upload forms, and PNG when you plan to edit the picture further.
