HEIC to JPG converter

Convert HEIC to JPG in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

About this tool

iPhone photos are HEIC, and many websites refuse them. Convert a HEIC photo to JPG here, in your browser: the photo never goes to a converter site.

HEIC and JPG

  • HEIC: the iPhone's photo format: small, but Chrome can't open it and many sites reject it.
  • JPG: lossy, made for photos, no transparency, accepted almost everywhere.

What changes when you convert

  • JPG opens everywhere and is accepted by almost every upload form.
  • The JPG is often larger than the HEIC, because HEIC is the more efficient format.
  • Rotation is applied and location data is removed.

When to convert HEIC to JPG

  • A site rejects your iPhone photo.
  • You need to open the photo on a computer without HEIC support.

Private by design

Converter websites upload your file to their servers to do this. With this tool the conversion happens in your browser: the file is never uploaded, to us or anyone else, and location data (EXIF) is removed from photos along the way.

Converting because a website only accepts JPG? Krisox Extension Pro does it for you in the upload form itself, as you upload.

Without this tool

  • On your iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible saves new photos as JPG.
  • Mac: open the photo in Preview, then File → Export and choose JPEG.

Questions

How does this open HEIC when Chrome can't?

The page loads an open-source HEIC decoder (libheif) that runs inside your browser.

What about Live Photos?

The still photo is converted; the motion part is a separate video and isn't included.
