Unlock Your iPhone Photos for Any Device
Apple's HEIC format takes stunning photos at half the file size of JPEG, but Windows PCs, Android devices, and many web platforms can't open them. Convert your iPhone and iPad photos to JPEG so they work everywhere — no more "can't open this file" messages.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
Share iPhone photos with Android users, Windows PC users, and anyone without Apple devices
Upload vacation and event photos to websites, social media, and platforms that reject HEIC files
Edit your iPhone photos in desktop software like Photoshop, GIMP, or Lightroom Classic that may lack HEIC support
Attach photos to emails without worrying whether the recipient can view them

How to Convert HEIC to JPG
Upload photos from your iPhone or Mac
Select .heic or .heif files — whether transferred via AirDrop, iCloud, or USB cable. EXIF data including GPS location and camera settings is preserved.
Preserve original quality
We decode the HEIC at its full 12-megapixel (or higher) resolution and encode to JPEG at 92% quality by default, retaining all the fine detail.
Download universally compatible JPEGs
Your photos now open on any device. All original metadata — date taken, camera model, orientation — is carried over to the JPEG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my iPhone photo quality suffer?
expand_more
At our default 92% JPEG quality, the difference is imperceptible to the human eye. HEIC and JPEG at this level are visually identical for photographs.
What about Live Photos saved as HEIC?
expand_more
Live Photos contain a still image and a short video clip. We extract the still image and convert it to JPEG. The video component is discarded.
Is the photo metadata (date, location, camera) preserved?
expand_more
Yes. All EXIF data — date taken, GPS coordinates, camera model, exposure settings, and orientation — is embedded in the output JPEG.
Can I convert hundreds of photos at once?
expand_more
Our batch mode handles up to 200 photos per session. Upload them all at once and download a ZIP of the converted JPEGs.
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC instead of JPEG?
expand_more
Apple switched to HEIC by default starting with iOS 11 because it produces equivalent quality at roughly half the file size, saving storage on your device.
Pro Tips for HEIC to JPG Conversion
To stop iPhone from saving as HEIC in the future, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select "Most Compatible"
Keep the quality slider at 90% or above to preserve the detail captured by your iPhone's camera sensor
If you need to convert an entire iCloud Photo Library, export from the Photos app to a folder first, then batch upload
The converted JPEGs preserve the original capture date, so sorting by date in your photo organizer still works correctly
