Drag your HEIC files onto the area above, or pick them from your device. The browser decodes each photo and writes it out as a JPG, and you download the results one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Orientation is preserved. A photo taken upright stays upright, because the rotation is written into the pixels themselves rather than left as a tag in the file that some programs ignore.
Quality is set with the slider, and 85% is a sensible starting point for photographs. If the image is going to print or into further editing, push it to 92–100%. You can also cap the longest edge when emailing a photo.
On an iPhone or iPad the conversion is close to instant, because Safari reads HEIC natively. On Windows, Android and other browsers a decoder takes over — and it only downloads once you pick your first file, so opening the page costs nothing.

HEIC is the format iPhones have used since 2017, and its advantage is real: at the same quality a photo takes roughly half the space of a JPG. The problem is not quality but support — Windows, many Android devices, older editing software and a great many web forms simply cannot read the file.
So HEIC gets converted to JPG not because JPG is better, but because practically everything opens it. For sending, printing, attaching to documents and posting online, JPG is the safe choice.
If this keeps happening to you, one iPhone setting stops it for good: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. From then on the phone records JPGs. They take more space, but you will never have to convert them again.
You may also meet the related HEIF format — it is the same family, and the tool accepts it just the same whether the file says HEIC or HEIF.
Your images stay on your device
The conversion runs entirely inside your browser. The images you pick are not sent anywhere: this page has nowhere to receive them, so it has nobody to pass them on to.
Nothing from the file itself reaches our visit statistics — not the name, not the size, not the dimensions, not the content. We record only that a conversion started and whether it succeeded, the same as on any other page.
To be precise: the page still loads ads and visitor measurement like the rest of the site. The claim is about the contents of your files, which never leave the browser.
When you close or refresh the page, the selected images and results are gone from the browser's memory. Nothing is kept for next time.
Open source
HEIC photos are decoded by libheif, an open-source library published under the GNU LGPL v3. We ship it unmodified and unbundled: it sits as a standalone file under /vendor/libheif/ together with its licence and a notice recording its origin, and the browser loads it as an independent library.
That satisfies the licence's condition that you be able to replace the library with your own build. The source code and the full licence text are available from the project's own pages.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and the images never leave your device. The tool keeps working if you go offline after the page has loaded — that is the quickest way to check for yourself.
Is this converter really free?
Yes, completely. No sign-up, no trial period, no watermark on your images and no limit on how many times you use it. The only cap is 10 files per run, and that exists because of device memory rather than billing — start another run and carry on. The site is paid for by ads.
Does the photo lose quality?
A little, because HEIC and JPG are both lossy formats so the image is compressed again. At 85% and above the difference is effectively invisible on a photograph. Push the slider to 95% if you want to be certain.
Does the photo stay the right way up?
Yes. The orientation from the original file is applied to the pixels themselves, so an upright photo stays upright even in programs that ignore EXIF tags.
Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?
Because HEIC is the newer, more efficient format — at the same quality it is roughly half the size. What you gain by converting is compatibility, not a smaller file.
Does it work with Live Photos?
The main photograph is taken from the file and converted to JPG. The short video a Live Photo carries alongside it is not carried over, since JPG is a format for a single still image.
What if a file will not open?
That file gets its own error message and all the others still convert. The usual cause is an incompletely transferred file — a photo copied off a phone that did not finish copying, for instance.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes, up to 10 files per run. They are processed one at a time so a large image cannot exhaust a phone's memory, and each file has its own status. If one file fails, the rest still finish and you can download them together as a ZIP.
