How the HEIC → JPG works
- Your HEIC file is decoded in your browser using a WebAssembly HEIC decoder — nothing is uploaded.
- The decoded image is re-encoded as a JPEG at the quality level you choose.
- The new JPG file size is compared with the original so you can see the change before downloading.
- The converted JPG is offered as a download — no watermark, no signup.

Useful tips
- Use 90% or above for photos you want to keep — lower quality shows artefacts more on detailed images.
- After converting, use the Compress JPG tool if you need an even smaller file for the web.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image sent to a server?+
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
What is the difference between HEIC and HEIF?+
HEIC is Apple's variant of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard. This tool handles both .heic and .heif files and converts them to standard JPG.
Does conversion reduce quality?+
JPG is a lossy format, so re-encoding at a lower quality discards some detail. Use 90% or above to keep the result visually close to the original HEIC.
Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC?+
Modern iPhones default to HEIC for photos because it produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality. Converting to JPG makes them compatible with apps, websites and devices that don't support HEIC.
