iPhones save photos as HEIC, which Windows, most websites and many apps still can't open. This tool decodes HEIC/HEIF photos with a WebAssembly build of libheif running in your browser tab and saves them as JPG at the quality you choose - one photo or a whole batch. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion happens on your device.

How to use it

  1. Paste, drag and drop, or click to choose one or more HEIC photos.
  2. Wait a moment while each one decodes - big photos take a few seconds each.
  3. Set the JPG quality. 92% is the default; lower makes smaller files.
  4. Download photos one by one, or click "Download all".
  5. Use "Convert others" to start a fresh batch without reloading the page.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No - each HEIC file is decoded by a WebAssembly build of libheif running in your browser tab, and the JPG is encoded there too. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?

Yes - pick or drop as many as you like. They decode one after another, then "Download all" saves every JPG. Some browsers ask once for permission to save several files - allow it and the rest follow.

What quality should I pick?

The default, 92%, is visually indistinguishable from the original for almost every photo. Drop to 75-85% to roughly halve the file size for email or web forms; go to 100% only if you plan to edit the JPG further.

Why convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in by default. It's efficient, but Windows, many websites, upload forms and older apps can't open it. JPG opens everywhere.

Is the photo's EXIF data (date, location) kept?

No - the JPG is re-encoded from the decoded pixels, so camera metadata such as the date taken and GPS location is not carried over. That's a privacy plus if you're sharing the photo, but a drawback if you need the date in a photo library.

Will the JPG come out sideways?

No - the rotation stored in the HEIC is applied while decoding, so the JPG is upright the way your phone showed it.

Does this work with Live Photos or bursts?

It converts the primary still image. The motion part of a Live Photo, and the extra frames of a burst, are not carried over.
