Free HEIC to JPG Converter - Convert iPhone Photos Online

Why iPhone Photos Use HEIC and How to Open Them Everywhere

Since iOS 11, Apple devices capture photos in High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) format by default. While HEIC saves device storage, it creates constant friction when uploading to Windows PCs, Android phones, online forms, and older software.

• Instant Browser Conversion: Drag and drop your .heic or .heif files directly into this page. They are converted to standard universal JPEGs in seconds without uploading to any server.
• Windows 10 & 11 Compatibility: Bypasses Microsoft's paid HEVC codec requirement by turning iPhone photos into universal JPGs.
• Batch & Bulk Processing: Convert dozens of family photos, receipts, or travel pictures at once.

How to Convert HEIC to JPG on Mac (Built-In Native Method)

If you are using a Mac and only have one or two photos to convert, you can also use Apple's built-in Preview app:

1. Open in Preview: Double-click the HEIC photo on your Mac to open it in Preview.
2. Click File > Export: From the top menu bar, select File > Export...
3. Select JPEG format: In the Format dropdown, switch from HEIC to JPEG, adjust the quality slider, and click Save.

How to Stop iPhone from Taking HEIC Photos in Settings

If you want your iPhone to capture standard JPG files automatically:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Camera.
3. Tap Formats at the very top.
4. Select Most Compatible instead of High Efficiency. Your iPhone will now save all future photos as standard JPEG files.
