# HEIC to JPG — Free, In Browser

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG or PNG. 100% in your browser — free, no sign-up, no upload.

## What is HEIC and why convert it?

HEIC (HEIF) is the high-efficiency format iPhones and iPads use to save photos at smaller sizes. The trade-off is compatibility: many Windows apps, websites, and older programs cannot open HEIC, so converting to JPG (or PNG) gives you an image that works everywhere.

## How the conversion works

HEIC cannot be decoded by the normal browser image tools, so this converter uses a WebAssembly decoder that runs entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded — decoding and re-encoding to JPG or PNG happen locally, so even personal pictures stay private.

## When to convert HEIC

Convert when you need to open an iPhone photo on Windows, attach it to a form or website that rejects HEIC, edit it in software that does not support the format, or share it with someone whose device cannot display HEIC.

## JPG or PNG — which should I pick?

Choose JPG for photographs: it is smaller and universally supported, with an adjustable quality setting. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy or plan to edit further. For everyday iPhone photos, JPG is usually the right choice.

## How to

1. Choose one or more HEIC/HEIF photos — they stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
2. Pick JPG or PNG (and quality for JPG), then click Convert.
3. Download the converted images.

## FAQ

**Are my photos uploaded?**

No. HEIC is decoded and re-encoded by a WebAssembly converter that runs in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.

**What is HEIC?**

HEIC (HEIF) is the high-efficiency photo format iPhones and iPads use. It saves space but many Windows apps and websites cannot open it — converting to JPG or PNG fixes that.

**Can I convert many photos at once?**

Yes. Select a batch of HEIC/HEIF files and convert them together, then download all the results.

**JPG or PNG?**

JPG is smaller and universally supported with adjustable quality — best for everyday photos. PNG is lossless, better if you will edit further.

Yes, completely free — no sign-up and no watermark.
