To convert HEIC to JPG online, add your iPhone or iPad photos above, choose a quality (90 suits most photos), press Convert and download the JPG files. Conversion runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded. Location and camera metadata are not copied to the JPG.
Convert HEIC photos from your iPhone or iPad into JPG files that open on Windows, Android, in email and on every website. Your pictures stay on your device throughout. It is a free tool from Websolindia, a New Delhi website design and SEO company that builds fast, image-optimised websites.
Unlike most online converters, this tool does not upload your images. Your browser decodes each HEIC file, converts it and creates the JPG file on your own device. That keeps private photos private, avoids upload waits and keeps working on a slow connection once the page has loaded. You can convert up to 50 files at a time and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.
Working with HEIC files more often? Our HEIC to PNG Converter Online is another quick option. You may also like the PNG to JPG Converter Online, or browse every tool in the Websolindia image converter collection. Smaller images load faster; you can measure the effect with our Website Performance Analyzer.
This table compares the two formats so you can decide whether converting is the right move.
| Feature | HEIC | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | HEIC (HEIF image with HEVC compression) | JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) |
| Origin | iPhone default photo format since iOS 11 (2017) | Standardised in 1992 |
| Compression | Lossy (lossless modes exist) | Lossy |
| Transparency | Yes | No transparency |
| Animation | Image sequences possible | No |
| Colour depth | 8 and 10 bits; wide colour | 8 bits per channel (24-bit colour) |
| Typical file size | Much smaller than a comparable JPG | Small for photographs |
| Best for | Photos taken on iPhone and iPad | Photographs and images with many colours |
| Browser support | Safari and Apple devices; limited elsewhere | Every browser, app and device |
| File extension | .heic, .heif | .jpg, .jpeg |
File size: Apple has said HEIC photos use roughly half the space of the same photo as JPG, so the JPG is typically larger.
This is exactly what happens to your file. Nothing is hidden, and you can verify that nothing is uploaded by watching your browser's network tab while you convert.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Read the file locally | Your browser reads the file from your device into memory. Nothing is sent to a server. |
| 2. Identify the format | We check the file's first bytes (its signature) instead of trusting the extension, so a PNG renamed to .jpg is still handled correctly. |
| 3. Decode the HEIC to pixels | The image is decoded to raw red, green, blue and alpha pixels using libheif, the open-source HEIF decoder, compiled to WebAssembly and run inside your browser. |
| 4. Resize (optional) | If you set a maximum width, larger images are scaled down with an area-weighted filter. Images are never enlarged, and the proportions are always kept. |
| 5. Flatten transparency | JPG cannot store transparency, so each pixel is blended with your chosen background colour: result = colour × α + background × (1 − α) for every channel, where α runs from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque). |
| 6. Encode the JPG | The pixels are written out as JPG using your browser's JPEG encoder, using the quality you set. Metadata such as camera details and location is not copied. |
| 7. Report the result | We show the dimensions, the sizes before and after, and the change: (new size − original size) ÷ original size × 100. For example, 500 KB becoming 350 KB is −30%. |
| Setting | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quality | 90 | 1–100 | Higher gives a sharper, larger JPG. 85–92 suits most photos. |
| Background colour | White | Any colour | Fills transparent areas, since JPG cannot store transparency. |
| Maximum width | None | 1–20,000 px | Scales larger images down. Never enlarges. |
| What | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Size change | (new − original) ÷ original × 100 | Shown for every file. Negative means smaller. |
| Transparency | colour × α + background × (1 − α) | Per colour channel; α from 0 to 1. |
| Downscale factor | min(1, maximum width ÷ width) | Applied only when you set a maximum width; never above 1. |
| Quality | Passed to the encoder as a number from 1 to 100 | The scale is encoder-specific, so the same number gives different results in different formats. |
Speed depends on your device and the image size. In our Chrome tests on a desktop-class processor, a 6-megapixel photograph took about 2 seconds to convert to WebP or PNG. AVIF is the slowest: about 2.5 seconds on Fast and about 7.5 seconds on Balanced. Phones and older laptops take longer, and images over about 120 megapixels are declined rather than risking a frozen browser.
| Format | Where it opens | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| HEIC | Safari and Apple devices; limited elsewhere | Photos taken on iPhone and iPad |
| JPG | Every browser, app and device | Photographs and images with many colours |
| This converter | Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Needs JavaScript and WebAssembly | Private conversion on your own device |
HEIC uses HEVC compression, which many systems do not include by default because of licensing. Converting to JPG makes the photo universally readable.
No. They are decoded and converted entirely inside your browser, using a decoder that runs on your device. Nothing is sent to us.
No. The metadata is not copied, which protects your privacy when sharing. Keep the original HEIC if you need the details.
Usually. HEIC compresses roughly twice as efficiently as JPG, so a JPG of the same photo is typically larger. Lowering quality reduces size.
Only the main still image is converted. Video from a Live Photo and extra frames in a burst are not included.
Yes, with the HEIC to PNG Converter Online, which is lossless but much larger. For small files JPG is the better choice.
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit. You can convert up to 50 HEIC files in one go. It is provided by Websolindia.
No. Your HEIC files are read and converted inside your browser, on your own device. They are never sent to Websolindia or anyone else, which is why this converter is safe for private photos and documents.
Yes. The new file is created from the decoded pixels, so camera details, GPS location and other embedded metadata are not copied. If you need to keep metadata, use a desktop editor.
Up to 50 files per batch and 150 MB per file. Images above roughly 120 megapixels are declined with a clear message rather than freezing your browser.
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. It also needs WebAssembly, which all of those browsers include.
