Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser using the heic2any JavaScript library. Your image never leaves your device.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by iPhones since iOS 11. It uses HEIF compression, which produces smaller files than JPEG at similar quality, but is not supported by all apps and platforms.

Will image quality be lost?

The conversion uses 92% JPEG quality, which preserves excellent visual fidelity for photos. There will be some minor quality difference since JPEG uses a different compression algorithm than HEIF.

Can I convert HEIF files too?

Yes. HEIC and HEIF are closely related formats and both are supported. Files with .heic or .heif extensions are accepted.

What browsers are supported?

Any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. The heic2any library handles HEIC decoding in JavaScript, so no native browser HEIC support is required.

Summary

This tool converts HEIC and HEIF image files (commonly produced by iPhones and modern cameras) to JPEG format directly in your browser using the heic2any library. The conversion is entirely client-side, meaning your image is never sent to any server. Simply select a HEIC file, wait for the conversion, and download the JPEG output.

How it works

Click "Choose HEIC File" or drag and drop a .heic or .heif file onto the upload zone.
The heic2any library decodes the HEIC/HEIF container in your browser.
The image is re-encoded as a JPEG blob at 92% quality — no server involved.
A preview of the converted JPEG is shown alongside file details.
Click "Download JPG" to save the converted file to your device.

Use cases

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG for sharing with Windows or Android users.
Prepare HEIC images for upload to websites or apps that do not support HEIC.
Convert HEIC screenshots to JPG before attaching them to emails.
Batch-convert HEIC files from a new iOS device to universally compatible JPEG.
Avoid installing desktop software just to convert a few iPhone photos.
Ensure HEIC images display correctly in web browsers and image editors.
