HEIC to JPG — frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to JPG?

Drop a HEIC photo onto this page — it's converted to JPG right in your browser, on your own device. Click Download JPG to save the result. No upload, no account, no watermark, free.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Unlike most HEIC converters, this one runs entirely in your browser. Your photo is never sent to a server, stored, or shared. The converter component loads once from this website; after that, conversion happens completely on your device.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPEG at similar quality — but many websites, Windows apps, and older software can't open it, which is why converting to JPG is often necessary.

Does converting lose quality?

A small amount, in theory. JPEG is a lossy format, so conversion re-encodes the image — this tool uses a high quality setting (92%) at the photo's full resolution, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for normal use. Pixel dimensions are unchanged.

What happens to the metadata and GPS location?

It's removed — deliberately. The converted JPG is clean of hidden metadata, including the GPS location the original HEIC carried, which protects your privacy when you share it. Want to see what was inside first? Check the original with the EXIF viewer or the privacy checker.

Why can't Windows or my website open HEIC?

HEIC uses HEVC compression, which needs licensed codecs — Windows often requires a paid extension, and many sites, forms, and older apps simply don't support it. JPG is the most universally supported image format, so converting solves the compatibility problem.

How do I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?

Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPEG instead of HEIC. Note JPEGs are roughly twice the size, so High Efficiency is worth keeping if storage matters — and you can always convert here when needed.

Does this work on Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone?

Yes — any modern browser on any system, including Windows where HEIC support is otherwise missing. On Safari, the browser's built-in HEIC support is used so conversion starts instantly; other browsers load the converter component once (about 1.4 MB), then work the same way.

Can I convert PNG or WebP to JPG here too?

Yes. Drop a PNG, WebP, or any image your browser can display and it's converted to JPG the same way — on your device, with metadata removed.

Is this HEIC converter free?

Yes — completely free, no account, no watermark, no upload. For viewing, editing, and removing photo metadata on iPhone and iPad, the EXIF Viewer by Fluntro app is a one-time purchase.

Private by design

This tool was built so your photos never have to leave your device. Here's exactly what that means for your data.

Nothing is uploaded

Your photo is opened and read entirely inside your own browser. It is never sent to a server, stored, or shared — once this page has loaded, it even works with your connection switched off.

No account, no tracking

There is no sign-up, no advertising cookies, and no analytics watching what you do here. The only thing saved on your device is your light or dark theme preference.

Your location stays yours

If a photo contains GPS coordinates, they are shown only to you, on your screen. We never see them, and any map link opens only if you choose to click it.

Nothing to collect

Because no personal data leaves your device, there is nothing for us to collect, log, or process. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Metadata is read from your file exactly as it was saved and is shown “as is.” It can be missing, altered, or inaccurate — for example, timestamps depend on the camera's clock and GPS can be approximate — so please don't rely on it as proof for legal, forensic, insurance, or safety decisions. This tool is provided free and without warranty; see our Terms & Disclaimer for the details.
