Convert HEIC to JPG.
Choose a photo from your iPhone and save it as a JPG that opens anywhere. It’s converted on your device, not a server.
HEIC or HEIF, like the photos an iPhone takes.
Why HEIC won’t open.
HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in. It holds the same picture in a smaller file than JPG, but Windows, older editing apps and plenty of upload forms still can’t open it.
Your browser decodes the photo here and draws it again as a JPG, a PNG or — where your browser can make one — a WebP. Nothing is uploaded, and the original stays exactly as it was.
Converted on your device
Your browser does the converting, so the photo is never uploaded to a server.
JPG, PNG or WebP
JPG to open anywhere and PNG to keep every pixel — or WebP for a smaller file, wherever your browser can make one.
Full size, no watermark
The photo keeps its full resolution and gets no watermark. If a phone’s browser can’t hold one that large, you’re told the size it was scaled to.

Questions.
What is a HEIC file?
It’s the format iPhones have saved photos in since iOS 11. It keeps the same picture in a smaller file than JPG, but not every app, computer or website can open it.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Your browser decodes the photo and writes the new file on your device. The photo never leaves it.
Does the converted photo keep its date and location?
No. The new file is drawn from the picture alone, so the date, location and camera details stay with the original — keep it if you need them. The photo is still the right way up.
Can my iPhone take JPG photos instead?
Yes. In Settings → Camera → Formats, choose Most Compatible and new photos save as JPG. Photos you’ve already taken stay HEIC.
What does the converting?
Your browser, where it can open HEIC itself. Where it can’t, the photo is decoded with heic-to, which packages the libheif library. Both are free software under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3 (LGPL-3.0), and are used unmodified.
