How to Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to JPG
- Select your photos: Add up to 20
.heicor.heifimages. Each file can be up to 50 MB; a 100-megapixel decoded-image ceiling also applies. Whether a file can be decoded depends on its encoding and the browser path used. - Choose JPEG settings: Select one of the browser encoder quality values (92%, 80%, or 65%) and optionally keep original dimensions, cap the longest edge, or use half-size output. These values do not promise a particular file size or visual result.
- Convert Locally:Click Convert Photos to JPG. The browser processes photos one at a time and creates one still JPEG image for each successful input.
- Download your JPG images: Download each converted image from its photo row. Duplicate filenames receive a numbered suffix.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
Some receiving apps and workflows require JPEG. Convert when the destination cannot use the original file, and verify its file-size and dimension limits:
- Application compatibility: Support varies by device, operating system, app version, and file encoding. Check the target application rather than assuming every viewer accepts one format.
- Online forms: Follow the form's stated file types, size, and dimension limits; requirements differ between services.
- Printing workflow: If a print provider asks for JPEG, convert a copy and check the result before submitting it.
- Sharing: JPEG is broadly supported, but confirm that the recipient's app accepts the file and that the exported dimensions and quality are suitable.
Output Quality & Compression Guidelines
| Quality Preset | Browser quality value | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| High Quality (92%) | Highest requested encoder value | Inspect the image and actual file size |
| Balanced (80%) | Mid-range requested encoder value | Compare with the other values for your image |
| Compressed / Web (65%) | Lowest requested encoder value | Check for visible artifacts; the output may still be larger than the source |
Local Browser Processing & Privacy
Image decoding and JPEG creation run locally in your browser. Selected photos are not uploaded for conversion:
- Local browser processing: Selected image data is processed in this browser tab and is not uploaded for conversion. These selected photos are kept only in page memory and are not saved for refresh recovery. Normal page and asset requests reach our host; if enabled with consent, analytics records limited tool-usage events, not image contents or filenames.
- Temporary memory: Remove a photo or clear the list to release its generated URL. Refreshing or closing this page clears the in-memory files, so select them again to continue.
- Still image and metadata: The converter exports a still JPEG. Live Photo video, additional HEIF images, burst sequences, and depth data are not included. Canvas re-encoding does not preserve the source EXIF metadata, such as GPS coordinates or camera settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting HEIC to JPG decrease visual quality?
JPEG is a lossy format. The default High Quality (92%) value is passed to the browser's encoder; it is not a percentage of detail retained. Compare the preview and actual file size. Re-encoding can change image detail.
Can I convert Live Photos, bursts, or multi-frame containers?
No. The tool exports one still JPEG for each decoded input. Motion video, additional frames, burst sequences, and depth data are not carried over.
What is the file limit per batch?
You can select up to 20 photos per batch; each input can be up to 50 MB, subject to a 100-megapixel decoded-image limit. Files are processed one at a time, but memory use still depends on the browser and device.
Can I retry photos if a conversion fails?
Yes. If any valid photo fails to convert, you can retry that individual photo or click the main conversion button to retry all remaining and failed files without having to re-upload them.
