HEIC to JPG Conversion: Complete Guide
Our free online HEIC to JPG converter solves the compatibility problem between Apple's modern HEIC format and universal JPG format. Convert your iPhone and iPad photos for use on Windows PCs, Android devices, websites, and any application that doesn't support HEIC.
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's modern image format introduced with iOS 11. It provides better compression than JPG while maintaining higher quality, but has limited compatibility outside Apple's ecosystem.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
- Universal Compatibility: JPG works on all devices, operating systems, and applications
- Website Support: All web browsers and platforms support JPG images
- Social Media Ready: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and all social platforms accept JPG

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I open HEIC files on my Windows computer?
Windows doesn't natively support HEIC format. You need special codecs or conversion tools. Our converter solves this by transforming HEIC to universally compatible JPG.
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, but at high quality settings (85-100%), the visual difference is minimal. HEIC is more efficient, but JPG at high quality preserves most details.
Is there a file size limit for conversion?
We support HEIC files up to 15MB. For larger files, consider using desktop software or reducing image size before conversion.
Do you keep my photos after conversion?
No. All conversion happens in your browser. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Currently, our tool converts one file at a time for optimal performance. For batch conversion, you can convert files one after another.
Technical Information
HEIC (HEIF) uses advanced compression algorithms (HEVC) to achieve 50% smaller file sizes compared to JPG at similar quality levels. However, this efficiency comes at the cost of compatibility.
JPG (JPEG) uses older but universally supported compression. While less efficient than HEIC, it works everywhere without additional software or codecs.
Tips for Best Results
- Use quality setting 85-95% for optimal balance of file size and quality
- For printing purposes, use 95-100% quality setting
- For web use, 80-90% quality provides good compression with minimal quality loss
- Always preview the converted image before downloading
- Keep original HEIC files as backup for future needs
