About HEIC

HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It stores images with the HEVC codec at roughly half the size of a JPG at similar quality, but it's a nightmare to hand off: Windows needs a paid extension, Chrome and Firefox don't decode it at all, and most upload forms reject the extension outright.

About JPG

JPG has been the universal photo format since 1992. Every OS, browser, email client, printer, CMS, and social platform reads it without extra software. It's lossy, but at 85–92% quality the loss is invisible for real-world photos — and the file is dramatically smaller than PNG.

Why convert HEIC to JPG?

Convert HEIC → JPG whenever you're sending photos off an Apple device to somewhere non-Apple: uploading to a website, emailing to a colleague on Windows, printing at a lab, or posting anywhere that still balks at .heic.

What people use it for

  • Upload iPhone photos to LinkedIn, forums, or older CMSes that reject HEIC
  • Email photos to family members on Windows without codec pack instructions
  • Send images to a print lab that only accepts JPG
  • Attach iPhone screenshots to a bug tracker or ticketing system
  • Batch-convert an entire iCloud export before archiving (Pro)

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop a .heic file

    Click the drop zone or drag any HEIC file in. Files stay on your device.

  2. 2

    Adjust quality (optional)

    Drag the quality slider. 90%+ is visually indistinguishable from the source; lower values shrink the file further.

  3. 3

    Click Convert to JPG

    The conversion runs in your browser. When it's done, click Download.

Frequently asked questions

HEVC — the codec HEIC uses — is patent-encumbered. Microsoft charges $0.99 for the extension; Chrome and Firefox refuse to bundle it. Converting to JPG bypasses the whole problem.
