HEIC → JPEG

iPhones save photos as HEIC, which is small but which many programs and websites cannot open. Here you convert them to JPEG or WebP without uploading anything anywhere.

Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded

This tool is in beta — always check the result.

How it works

HEIC photos are opened with what your device already has for iPhone photos and videos, and rebuilt as JPEG or WebP at their own size and orientation: a photo taken upright comes out upright. It works with Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and usually with an up-to-date Chrome or Edge, which however depend on what the device can read; not with Firefox. Where it cannot, it tells you straight away instead of failing obscurely. The converted photo comes out without the location data of the shot.

Frequently asked questions

How many HEIC photos can I convert at once?
Up to 100 at a time, each up to 80 MB. Every photo keeps its name with the new extension, and with several files you can also download them all together in a .zip archive.
Are the shooting date and other photo details kept?
No: the converted photo carries no shooting data at all — no date, no phone model, no location. If you need the date, for instance to sort photos in an archive, keep the original HEIC files as well.
Do iPhone HDR photos stay HDR?
No: you get the standard version of the photo. The extra brightness an iPhone shows on HDR screens, and the depth information in portraits, stay in the HEIC file and don’t make it into the JPEG or WebP.
How do I make the result lighter or smaller?
Lower the quality under “Advanced options” — it starts at 85 — or pick WebP instead of JPEG. To cut the pixel dimensions too, convert here first, then run the result through “Resize and crop” or “Compress images”: those tools don’t open HEIC photos.
