About HEIC to JPG Converter
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format Apple adopted on iPhones and iPads with the release of iOS 11 in 2017. It uses the HEIF codec, typically producing files roughly half the size of a JPG at the same visual quality. That is great for saving storage on an iPhone, but it becomes a problem the moment you need to share, upload, or edit those photos outside the Apple ecosystem.
Windows 10 and 11 support HEIC only after installing Microsoft's paid HEIF Image Extensions, many Android devices and older photo editors still refuse to open .heic files, and most websites — including job portals, school assignments, and e-commerce listings — only accept JPG or PNG. Converting your iPhone photos to JPG is the fastest way to make them work everywhere.
FormatFuse converts HEIC to JPG entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Drop in a single photo or drag an entire AirDropped folder — the tool handles batch conversion, preserves image orientation, and lets you choose between maximum-quality or size-optimized output. Your photos are never uploaded to a server, so you can safely convert personal or sensitive images without worrying about where the data goes.

HEIC to JPG — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality, but isn't supported everywhere. Converting to JPG ensures your photos work on any device or website.
Why can't Windows open HEIC files?
Windows 10 and 11 don't ship with a built-in HEIC decoder — you'd normally need to buy Microsoft's HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store just to preview a photo your iPhone AirDropped or emailed to you. Converting to JPG sidesteps that entirely: JPG has been natively supported by every version of Windows since the 1990s.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG?
Just drag and drop your HEIC files (or click to browse) and they'll be converted to JPG instantly in your browser. You can convert multiple files at once and download them individually or as a ZIP.
Is it safe to convert HEIC photos online?
Yes — with FormatFuse, your files never leave your device. Unlike most "online" converters, there's no upload step: the HEIC decoding happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly, so personal photos, family pictures, and anything sensitive never touch a server.
Can I batch convert multiple HEIC photos?
Yes! Select or drag as many HEIC files as you need. All files are processed simultaneously and you can download them all as a ZIP archive.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
You can adjust the JPG quality slider (default 90%) to balance file size and image quality. At 90%+ quality, the difference is virtually imperceptible — JPG files will be somewhat larger than the original HEIC at equivalent visual quality, since HEIC's HEVC compression is more efficient.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on a Windows PC without an iPhone?
If someone emailed or AirDropped you a .heic file and you're on a Windows laptop with no Apple device nearby, just drop the file into this page — it converts to JPG right in your browser, no iPhone, Mac, or app install required.
Does converting HEIC to JPG remove photo location or EXIF data?
Yes. FormatFuse decodes the HEIC file down to raw pixels and re-encodes a fresh JPG from those pixels, so EXIF metadata — including GPS location, camera model, and timestamp — is not carried over to the output file. If you need to keep that metadata for personal records, save a copy of the original HEIC before converting.
