Convert HEIC to JPG without uploading your photos

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default (Settings, Camera, Formats, High Efficiency). HEIC files are small, but many websites, Windows apps and older editors will not open them. Converting to JPG is the usual fix.

Why not use an upload site?

Free HEIC converters usually upload your photos to a server. That is a lot of personal pictures to hand over for a format change. Here the conversion runs in your browser tab. The photos are not uploaded.

How to convert

Open the tool and drop your HEIC files, or pick them from your computer.
Leave the output on JPG. Choose PNG if you need lossless, or WebP for smaller files.
Quality 85 to 90 is a good start for photos you plan to keep.
Download single files or one ZIP.

What to know

HEIC support loads a separate decoder (libheif) only when you add a HEIC file. On Safari the browser's own decoder is used when it can open the file.
Large batches use a lot of memory. Phones have not been tested; try a small batch or a desktop computer.
Live Photos give you the still image only. HEIC files with several images (bursts) give you the first image.
Metadata such as GPS location is removed. See how to remove location data from photos.
The colour profile is dropped, so wide-gamut (Display P3) colours can look slightly less vivid.
