How do I convert HEIC to JPG?

Drop your HEIC file onto this page and the JPG version is produced immediately, in your browser. There is no upload, no queue and no account — the conversion runs on your own device using the canvas API.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded when re-encoding. At high quality the difference is invisible at normal viewing size, but keep your original if you may need to edit it later.

Is my HEIC file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read by your browser, decoded and re-encoded on your device, and handed straight back. Nothing is transmitted, which matters when the image is a document, a screenshot of something private, or a photograph with location data in it.

Why would I convert HEIC to JPG?

Built for photographs. Its compression discards detail the eye is least sensitive to, so a photo can drop by 90% with no visible change. That is usually the reason. Decoding requires Apple hardware or a licensed decoder, so most browsers cannot open it at all — which is exactly why people need to convert it.

About the HEIC to JPG

HEIC is High Efficiency Image Container. What an iPhone shoots by default. Roughly half the size of a JPG at the same quality. Decoding requires Apple hardware or a licensed decoder, so most browsers cannot open it at all — which is exactly why people need to convert it.

JPG is JPEG. Built for photographs. Its compression discards detail the eye is least sensitive to, so a photo can drop by 90% with no visible change. No transparency at all, and it puts visible halos around hard edges — which makes it the wrong choice for text, logos and screenshots.

Both formats store the full image, so this conversion changes the container rather than the picture. File size will differ — that is the point of converting — but nothing visible is discarded.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

How it works

Drop in a HEIC file — it is read by your browser, not uploaded.
It is decoded and re-encoded as JPG on your own device.
Download the result. Nothing is stored anywhere.
