iPhones have saved photos as HEIC since iOS 11, because the format keeps quality high at about half the size of a JPG. The problem is that most devices, browsers and upload forms outside the Apple ecosystem cannot open HEIC at all. This heic to jpg converter fixes exactly that: drop in your iPhone photos and get JPG files that open everywhere, with no upload, no sign-up and no watermark.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photos are never sent to a server. The HEIC decoder ships with the site itself and runs on your own device, which is what makes this safe for personal photos. Convert up to 20 photos in one batch and download them one by one or as a single ZIP file.
Key features
- HEIC and HEIF to JPG, PNG or WebP: pick the output that suits you: JPG for maximum compatibility, PNG for a lossless copy, or WebP for the smallest file.
- Batch conversion with a ZIP download: convert up to 20 photos at once, each up to 30 MB, and take them all home in one ZIP file.
- WebP to PNG too: drop a WebP image in and pick PNG as the output. JPG and PNG inputs can also be re-encoded to any of the three outputs.
- Quality control: set the JPG and WebP quality from 50 to 100 percent, with 92 percent as the balanced default.
- Private by design: your photos are decoded on your own device and never uploaded, so there is no server copy and no upload wait.
- Free, with no sign-up: no account, no credits and no daily limit.
How to use
- Drop your HEIC or HEIF photos onto the tool, or choose them from your device. Files up to 30 MB each are accepted, up to 20 per batch.
- Pick the output format: JPG, PNG or WebP. For JPG and WebP, set the quality if you want something other than the 92 percent default.
- Click Convert all and wait while each photo is decoded on your device. A full batch takes longer than a single photo.
- Download each converted photo below the tool, or all of them together as one ZIP file.
Why HEIC needs converting
HEIC, short for High Efficiency Image Container, wraps a photo compressed with HEVC, the same efficient codec used for 4K video, inside a HEIF container. That efficiency is why an iPhone photo is so much smaller than the same shot saved as JPG. But outside Apple devices, HEIC support is patchy: Windows PCs need a store codec, most browsers cannot display it, and many upload forms reject it outright. Converting to JPG trades a little file size for a format that every device, browser, editor and printer already understands.
Private by design
Like every Savozi tool, this one runs entirely in your browser. Your photos are decoded and re-encoded on your own device and are never uploaded to our server, so there is no server copy and no upload wait. It is part of our watermark tools collection of free photo and video tools: free, no account, and nothing to install.
Honest limits
Converted files are fresh images at full resolution, but EXIF data, including camera settings and GPS location, is not carried over. Only the primary image of a multi-image HEIC container is converted. Some HEIC variants, such as certain portrait-mode captures with extra depth data and files from non-Apple cameras, use encodings this browser decoder does not support: such a file is reported in the list instead of silently failing, and the rest of the batch still converts.
