HEIC to JPG Converter

Turn an iPhone HEIC (or HEIF) photo into a universally-viewable JPG directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the HEIC image is decoded locally using a WebAssembly library.

Processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

100% local — your file never leaves your device. The first conversion on a page load takes a moment while the decoder downloads.

Frequently asked questions

Is this HEIC to JPG converter really free?

Yes, entirely free, with no account, watermark, or file limit imposed by a server — because there is no server involved.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. HEIC decoding runs locally in your browser via a WebAssembly library. Your photo never leaves your device.

Why do I need to convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC is the default photo format on modern iPhones, but most websites, Windows apps, and non-Apple devices still don't display it. JPG is universally supported.

Why doesn't every browser support HEIC directly?

HEIC uses patented codecs that most browser vendors haven't licensed for built-in decoding, so a JavaScript/WebAssembly decoder is used instead.

Doing this by hand every week? That's exactly what I remove.

If this conversion is one small step in a bigger workflow — say, files arriving by email, getting converted, renamed and filed by a person every time — I build software that does the whole thing automatically. My clients get back up to 18 hours a week this way.
