How it works
- Choose your HEIC or HEIF files, or drop them onto the box.
- Pick a quality and decide whether to keep EXIF metadata (capture date, camera, GPS if present).
- Click “Convert to JPG” and save the images one by one or as a ZIP.
Notes and limitations
- Decoding is done by a HEIC decoder built into this website (HEIF container and HEVC image data). It runs in your browser; large photos (12 megapixels) take a few seconds depending on your device.
- Typical photos from iPhone, iPad and many Android phones are supported (8 or 10 bit, 4:2:0). Rare variants such as 4:2:2 images from professional cameras are not – Safari may be able to read those itself, in which case it is used automatically.
- Metadata: by default, capture date, camera details and GPS location are not carried over. Turn on “Keep EXIF” to preserve them. The orientation is always applied to the pixels.
- An embedded colour profile (such as Display P3 on iPhones) is copied into the JPG so colours do not look washed out.
- The JPG is usually larger than the HEIC original because JPG compresses less efficiently. Live Photo videos, depth maps and HDR extras are not carried over; the primary image is converted.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC file?
HEIC uses a more modern compression method (HEVC). JPG needs roughly twice the space for the same quality. Lower the quality or use “Compress image” to make the file smaller.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted inside your browser. You can check this by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded – conversion keeps working.
Can I make my iPhone save JPG in the first place?
Yes: go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose “Most Compatible”. iOS also often converts automatically when sharing via AirDrop or Mail.
