HEIC to JPG Converter — Free, Fast & Private
Got an iPhone? Then you've got HEIC files sitting around that half the internet can't open. This tool converts them to JPG in seconds — no upload required, your photos never leave your device.
Pick your mode: keep everything in your browser for full privacy, or switch to server mode for a speed boost on large batches. You decide.
Everything runs on WebAssembly, Canvas, and a HEIC decoding library — modern browser tech that makes conversion instant, smooth, and available even when you're offline.
Convert one photo or a thousand. Set your own quality, DPI, and size. If you want a reliable, no-hassle HEIC-to-JPG tool that doesn't play games with your files — this is it.
How It Works
No mystery here — here's exactly what happens to your files when you drop them in.
Your Choice: Browser or Server Mode
Pick how you want to process. Browser mode keeps files on your device. Server mode sends them to our servers for faster handling — files are deleted the moment conversion finishes.
- Files stay on your device in Browser Mode
- No tracking, no storage, nothing logged
- Works offline after the first load
Browser Mode is the private option. Server Mode is the fast one.
HEIC Decoding via the heic-to Library
The heic-to library handles two things:
✔ Read the HEIC/HEIF structure
It reads the HEIC image structure and converts it into a bitmap the browser can work with.
✔ Create a temporary image blob
Used for previews, canvas rendering, and further processing. Stays in your browser's memory — never sent anywhere.
Canvas Rendering
An invisible HTML Canvas takes the decoded image and gets it ready for export. The process:
- Load the raw image into a JavaScript Image object
- Draw it onto a <canvas> using drawImage()
- Apply any changes you've chosen — resizing, quality, aspect ratio
Think of the canvas as a photo darkroom inside your browser.
Edit Before You Export
You control the final look.
Smart Target File Size
Need the output under a specific size (say, 500 KB)? The tool exports the JPG, checks the size, drops the quality a bit, and repeats until it hits your target. Keeps quality as high as possible while meeting the limit you set.
Export and Download
canvas.toBlob("image/jpeg", qualityValue) creates the final JPG right in your browser. Then:
- Download files one by one
- Bundle everything into a ZIP
- Convert as many HEIC images as you need
No uploading required.
Batch Processing
Drop multiple HEIC files at once. The tool queues and processes each one:
- Decode
- Render on canvas
- Apply your settings
- Save as JPG
- Update progress
- Add to ZIP (optional)
Handles large batches without slowing down the interface.
Privacy by Design
Because everything stays on your device:
- No upload means no data leaks
- Nobody else can see your photos
- Safe for sensitive or personal images
- No server dependency
- No waiting on upload speeds
- No hidden costs
One of the fastest and safest HEIC converters online.
Why Bother Converting to JPG?
HEIC is efficient, but it doesn't play nice everywhere. Here's why people switch:
Works everywhere
Older Android phones, Windows PCs, most websites, social media — none of them accept HEIC natively. JPG is the universal fallback.
Easier to edit
Every major editor — Photoshop, Figma, Canva — works with JPG out of the box.
Smaller files, wider compatibility
HEIC is fine for some things, but JPG is still the default for email attachments, uploads, and printing.
What You Can Do
Built to be more capable and more private than most HEIC converters you'll find.
Convert HEIC to JPG in 4 Steps
Takes about 10 seconds:
Click "Upload HEIC Images" and pick your files
Adjust size, quality, or DPI — all optional
Hit Convert
Download individual JPGs or grab everything as a ZIP
That's it.
Common Questions
What exactly is a HEIC file?
Apple's default image format on newer iPhones and iPads. High quality, smaller than JPG — but most non-Apple devices can't open it.
Is this HEIC to JPG converter safe?
Yes. In Browser Mode, your photos never leave your device. Server Mode uploads files securely, processes them, and deletes them immediately — we don't keep copies.
Are my photos stored or uploaded?
Browser Mode: never leave your device. Server Mode: uploaded temporarily, processed, then permanently deleted right after.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the first load. You can convert images even without an internet connection.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Unlimited batch conversion — convert as many as you want in one go.
Will converting reduce image quality?
You control quality with the slider. Higher values preserve more detail. For web use, even 80% looks great.
Does it work on phones?
Works on iPhone, Android, iPad, and any browser.
