About this conversion.
JPG is a practical choice when an upload form, app or older device will not accept your iPhone’s HEIC file. It is widely supported, but uses lossy compression: a higher quality setting usually keeps more detail and makes a larger file.
How to convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG
Choose the original HEIC or HEIF files from your device. Leave the output set to JPG, choose a quality level and optionally a longest edge, then press Convert. Save each finished image or choose Download ZIP for the batch. Your original HEIC files remain unchanged.
What changes during conversion?
The new file uses the .jpg extension; .jpeg means the same format. Transparent pixels are replaced with white, and photo metadata such as GPS and capture date is not copied. A still image is exported rather than a Live Photo’s video component. HDR photos may look different after conversion because this tool exports a standard browser-rendered image.
If a HEIC file will not convert
Check that the original is downloaded to your device rather than available only as a cloud placeholder. Try one file first and keep the tab open. The converter has several HEIC decoding paths, but damaged files and some encoding variants may still fail. Expand the failure details for more information.

Choose a format-specific tool with guidance for your photos. Everything is free and processed on your device.
Different files.
One simple tool.
From an iPhone snap to a camera's RAW file, choose the format that works for you. Your original files are never changed.
JPG for everyday photos
Easy to share, smaller to store. Adjust the quality to balance detail and file size. JPG and JPEG are exactly the same format, with different file extensions.
PNG for crisp, clear detail
Lossless compression and support for transparent backgrounds. Ideal for graphics and screenshots. Photo files can be much larger than JPG.

RAW compatibility varies by camera model and compression. Standard image decoding depends on your browser; animated images export as a single still frame. Images above 80 megapixels are not supported. These are protective limits, not a guarantee against memory limits on your device.
Three steps.
Then you're done.
Bring your images
Drop your files into the converter or choose them from your device.
Pick your format
Choose JPG or PNG, set the size, and press Convert. Batches run one file at a time.
Take them with you
Save individual images or download everything together in a ZIP.
A few good questions.
Does changing .heic to .jpg convert it?
No. Renaming changes the filename, not the image encoding. Use the converter to decode the HEIC file and create a JPEG image.
Should I use JPG or PNG for iPhone photos?
JPG usually creates smaller photo files and is convenient for sharing. Choose PNG if you need a lossless output encoding; it will often be much larger and will not recover detail already lost in the source.
Do my photos get uploaded?
No. The converter reads and processes your selected images in your browser. It does not send photo files to our server. Keep this tab open until your conversions finish.
Is it really free?
Yes. There are no required payments, accounts, subscriptions or watermarks. If you find the tool useful, you can optionally buy me a coffee to support it. The current limits are 100 MB per input file and 80 megapixels per image. Your device may reach its own memory limits sooner.
What's the difference between JPG and JPEG?
Only the filename extension. Both use the same JPEG format, so the JPG option covers both. JPG uses lossy compression; PNG uses lossless compression. Saving an existing JPG as PNG will not restore detail already lost.
Will the conversion keep metadata and transparency?
Photo metadata such as EXIF, GPS and capture date is not copied to the new file. PNG preserves transparency where the input has it; JPG replaces transparent areas with white. RAW images are developed using camera white balance and sRGB colour, so they may look different from the camera's own JPG.
Why won't my RAW file convert?
The file extension does not guarantee support for every camera or compression mode. The image could also exceed your device's available memory. Try fewer files, use an up-to-date browser, and expand “What happened” under a failed image for details. A smaller output size does not avoid the memory needed to decode the original.
Can I change the output after converting?
Yes. Switch between JPG and PNG to queue the loaded images again, then press Convert. To use different quality or size settings with the same format, clear the list and add the originals again.
Private by design.
Conversion happens on your device. There are no analytics, advertising scripts, app cookies or user accounts in this site.
Selected images and converted results stay in this tab's memory. Clearing the list or closing the tab releases the app's references to them; files you download remain wherever you save them. Our hosting provider receives normal website requests, including your IP address and browser information, and may keep operational or security logs. Conversion libraries are served with this site. Browser caching may store these application files; your selected photos are not added to that cache by the app. The optional Buy Me a Coffee links open an external site with its own privacy policy and payment processing. No Buy Me a Coffee scripts or widgets load on this page.
