Convert HEIC to JPG Online

HEIC is the default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 — great for storage, poorly supported outside Apple devices. Converting to JPG happens instantly, right in your browser. JPG has no transparency channel, so any transparent areas are filled with white in the output.

100% Private — Processing happens locally inside your browser. No files are ever uploaded.

Why Convert HEIC to JPG

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, so moving them to a Windows PC, an older app, or a web upload form often hits a compatibility wall without any clear explanation why. Converting to JPG gets you a small file size and support in essentially every piece of software that exists — done instantly, for free, without installing anything or creating an account.

How It Works & Privacy Guarantee

Converting your HEIC file to JPG happens in three steps, entirely on your device: your browser reads the HEIC file into memory, decodes and re-encodes it as JPG using built-in browser technology (Canvas and WebAssembly), and hands you the finished file as a direct download.

At no point does the file get sent to a server. There’s no upload step to intercept, no account that could be breached, and nothing stored after you close the tab — the conversion simply couldn’t leak your file even if something went wrong, because it never left your browser in the first place.
