HEIC to JPG Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC / HEIF photos to JPG, PNG or WebP so they open on Windows, Android and any website. Convert many at once and download them as a ZIP. Removes the photo's location by default while keeping the date and camera. Photos are converted in your browser and never uploaded.
What is the HEIC to JPG Converter?
iPhones save photos as HEIC (also called HEIF), which many Windows PCs, Android phones, websites and office systems cannot open. This tool converts them to JPG, PNG or WebP. The photos are decoded and converted in your browser. Safari opens HEIC itself; in Chrome and Edge the tool reads the HEIC file and decodes the image with the browser's built-in HEVC video decoder (WebCodecs). The photos are never uploaded.
How to use
- Drop HEIC files onto the drop area, click it to choose files, or paste with Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac). You can add many files at once.
- Choose the Format, the Quality and, if you want smaller files, a Max width or Max height.
- Choose what to do with the photo's metadata (see below).
- Download each photo, or click Download all (ZIP).
Changing a setting converts the photos again with the new setting.
Location and other metadata
Photos taken with a phone usually record where they were taken (GPS). Anyone you send the photo to can read it. Each converted photo shows whether the original had a location.
| Option | What the converted photo keeps |
|---|---|
| Remove location, keep date and camera (default) | The date and time taken, the camera and lens model. The location and everything else are removed. |
| Remove all metadata | Nothing. |
| Keep all, including location | All of the original metadata, including the location. |
Metadata can only be written to JPG. PNG and WebP are always saved without metadata.

FAQ
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and nothing is downloaded or sent while converting.
Which browsers can convert HEIC?
Safari on Mac, iPhone and iPad opens HEIC directly. Chrome and Edge can decode it when the computer or phone has hardware HEVC decoding, which most Macs, Windows PCs with a graphics chip from the last several years, and Android phones have. Firefox and some Linux setups may not be able to; the tool tells you when it can't, and other image formats still work.
My HEIC file has several images (burst or Live Photo). Which one is converted?
The main (primary) image. If there is no main image, the first one.
Why is my converted photo larger than the HEIC?
HEIC compresses better than JPG. Lower the Quality, choose WebP, or set a Max width to make the files smaller.
Is the color exactly the same?
The photo is converted to standard sRGB colors. Wide-color (Display P3) photos may look slightly less saturated on wide-color screens.
