Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using the heic2any decoder. Your photos never leave your device — there is no upload step and no account.

Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?

Since iOS 11, Apple devices save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) to roughly halve the file size at the same quality. Many apps, older Windows PCs, and websites cannot open HEIC, so converting to JPG or PNG makes them universally compatible.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop several .heic or .heif files at once and they are all converted in one batch, each with its own download button.

Which output format should I pick — JPG, PNG or WebP?

Use JPG for normal photos you want to share or upload (small, universally supported). Use PNG when you need a lossless copy or transparency. Use WebP for the smallest file at the same quality, ideal for websites.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

HEIC and JPG are both lossy, so a small amount of re-compression happens. At the default 90% quality the difference is visually imperceptible. PNG output is lossless but produces a much larger file.

Can I convert HEIC on Windows without installing anything?

Yes. Because everything runs in the browser, this works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS with no software install, extension, or Microsoft Store codec needed.

Does the converter keep the photo's date and GPS data?

No. The conversion re-encodes the pixels into a fresh JPG/PNG/WebP, which generally drops the original EXIF metadata including GPS. If you need to inspect or deliberately strip metadata, use the EXIF viewer tool.

HEIC to JPG / PNG / WebP Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG, PNG or WebP

iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) to save storage, but many websites, Windows PCs, email clients and apps can’t open them. This converter turns .heic and .heif files into widely supported JPG, PNG or WebP images. It’s for anyone who needs to email, upload, print or edit an iPhone photo on a device that doesn’t natively read HEIC.

How it works

The tool lazy-loads the heic2any decoder the first time you convert, then runs it entirely in your browser. Each file is decoded from the HEIC/HEIF container and re-encoded to your chosen format with heic2any({ blob, toType, quality }). For JPG and WebP a quality slider (30%–100%, default 90%) controls compression; PNG is always lossless so the slider is hidden. Multiple files are processed in a loop and each gets its own object-URL download link.

Example

You AirDrop five IMG_4821.heic holiday photos to a Windows laptop and they won’t open in Photos. Drop all five here, leave the format on JPG at 90% quality, and you get IMG_4821.jpg through IMG_4825.jpg ready to email — each typically a few hundred KB, no upload, no wait.

Output	Lossy?	Transparency	Best for
JPG	Yes	No	Sharing, uploading, printing photos
PNG	No	Yes	Lossless copies, screenshots, graphics
WebP	Yes	Yes	Smallest file for websites

Everything runs locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone.
