Batch converting supported – iPhone photos to JPG

Quick answer: To convert HEIC to JPG free, drop your iPhone photos below – they convert instantly in your browser, singly or in batch, and download as JPG (or PNG). Since iOS 11, iPhones shoot HEIC by default, which Windows PCs, older Androids and many websites cannot open; JPG opens everywhere.

If you have ever AirDropped or copied iPhone photos to a Windows laptop only to see broken thumbnails, HEIC is the culprit. Apple's High Efficiency format saves storage on the phone but is still rejected by countless job portals, university forms, printers and older apps. Converting to universal JPG solves it in seconds.

This converter decodes HEIC entirely on your device using an open-source WebAssembly decoder – your family photos are never uploaded to anyone's server. Drop a whole batch, adjust JPG quality if you like, and download files individually or as one ZIP.

How to convert HEIC photos to JPG

  2. Choose output (JPG recommended; PNG for lossless) and quality.
  3. Conversion starts automatically – watch each photo appear with its new size.
  4. Download photos individually or click Download all (ZIP).

Honest limitations

  • Live Photo motion clips and depth data aren't carried over – you get the still image (that's true of every HEIC converter).
  • Extremely large batches (hundreds of 48 MP shots) are limited by your device's RAM.
  • A few unusual HEIC variants (e.g., certain burst containers) may fail to decode – you'll see a per-file error, not a silent skip.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't Windows open my iPhone photos?

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default since iOS 11. Windows needs a paid HEVC extension to open them, so most people simply convert to JPG – which opens on literally everything.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

At the default 90% quality setting, the difference is invisible in normal viewing. JPG is lossy, so files are slightly different at the pixel level; choose PNG output if you need mathematically lossless images (files will be larger).

Can I stop my iPhone saving HEIC in the first place?

Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible switches the camera to JPG. HEIC saves space though, so many people keep it and just convert when needed.

Is there a limit on how many photos I can convert?

No artificial limit. Practically, batches of 50–100 typical photos convert fine on any modern phone or laptop; very old devices may prefer smaller batches.

Are my photos private?

Completely. Decoding happens via WebAssembly in your browser tab – we never receive, see or store your images. The tool even works offline after the page loads.
