How to Convert HEIC to JPG
1
Transfer your HEIC photos to your computer
Connect your iPhone via USB (or use AirDrop, iCloud, or Google Photos). The photos will be saved as .heic files on your computer.
2
Drop the files or click Choose Files
Drag one or more .heic files onto the upload area. You can add as many as you need — all will be queued for conversion.
3
Set JPEG quality (optional)
The default quality of 92 is ideal for most uses. Drag the slider left for a smaller file size or right for maximum quality. Changes apply to the next conversion.
4
Convert and download
Click 'Convert & Download' for a single file, or 'Convert All' followed by 'Download All as ZIP' for a batch. Each JPEG is saved with the same filename as the original but with a .jpg extension.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
Windows Does Not Open HEIC Natively
Windows 10 and 11 require a paid extension from the Microsoft Store to open HEIC files. Without it, Photos, File Explorer, and most apps show a blank thumbnail. Converting to JPG instantly fixes compatibility across every Windows app.
Web and Email Don't Support HEIC
Uploading HEIC to most websites, CMSs, or email clients fails or shows a broken image. JPEG is supported by every browser and email client that has ever existed. Converting ensures your photos display everywhere.
Social Media Requires JPG
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn all accept JPEG but may reject or silently re-encode HEIC. Converting yourself gives you control over quality before the platform applies its own compression.
HEIC Is 40–50% Smaller Than JPG
HEIC uses modern HEVC compression which is significantly more efficient than JPEG. Converting to JPG will usually produce a larger file — this is expected and unavoidable. Use JPEG quality 75–85 to limit the size increase while maintaining good visual quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Apple's HEIC format requires specific codec support that Windows does not include by default. Microsoft offers the HEVC Video Extensions add-on (£0.79 on the Microsoft Store) which adds HEIC support. Alternatively, converting your HEIC files to JPEG is free and makes them compatible with everything.
At quality 92 the difference is virtually invisible to the naked eye. The conversion involves decoding the HEIC and re-encoding as JPEG, so some very minor quality loss is mathematically inevitable — but at high quality settings you will not be able to spot it in a normal photo. Use quality 100 if you need the absolute closest possible result.
HEIC uses HEVC compression which is about twice as efficient as JPEG. A 3 MB HEIC photo might become a 5–8 MB JPEG at quality 92 — this is completely normal. If file size is a concern, try quality 75–85 which still looks excellent but reduces the output size significantly.
This tool converts the still image portion of each HEIC file. Live Photo motion data (the video component) is not included in the .heic file you transfer to your computer, so it is not a concern here. For HEIC files containing multiple frames (bursts), the first frame is exported as the JPG.
Connect your iPhone to your PC via USB and open File Explorer — the phone appears as a camera device and you can browse and drag photos directly. On a Mac, use AirDrop or Image Capture. Alternatively, enable iCloud Photos and access them via icloud.com, or use Google Photos to back them up and download from there.
