Convert HEIC and WebP to JPG, free
Drop in your iPhone photos, or any WebP, PNG or AVIF image, and download them as JPG, PNG or WebP — everything happens in your browser, with no upload.
Drop your images here, or choose files
HEIC, HEIF, JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, several at once. The images stay in your browser — we never upload them.
Why will my HEIC image not open?
Since 2017 the iPhone has saved photos as HEIC by default. HEIC gives a better picture in a smaller file, but older versions of Windows, most Android devices and almost every web form cannot open it. That is why the holiday photo arrives on the computer as nothing but an icon.
JPG, on the other hand, opens in anything that has ever shown a picture. This tool decodes the HEIC in your browser and hands it back as a JPG (or a PNG, or a WebP) — the file never leaves your machine.
If all you need is JPG from HEIC and nothing else, there is a separate, simpler page for it: HEIC to JPG. The same engine runs inside it, preset to JPG.
How it works: in your browser, not on a server
Most online converters upload your image, convert it there and send the result back. This tool does not: your browser reads the file and re-encodes it on the spot. For HEIC it downloads a small decoder once — Safari does not even need that, because it understands the format natively.
That has two practical consequences. One is that you can safely drop in an image you would not hand to a stranger. The other is that there is no daily limit and no queue: your own device is the only thing setting the pace.
Metadata is dropped by default
A photo taken with a phone carries its GPS coordinates, the exact timestamp and the device identifier. The conversion does not keep any of it by default, so the downloaded image does not reveal where or with what it was taken. If you do need them, the “Keep metadata” switch carries the original EXIF block over for JPG output.
One field is always handled: orientation. We bake it into the pixels so a photo taken with the phone turned sideways does not arrive tilted — and to make sure it cannot be rotated twice, the orientation in the metadata we keep is reset to neutral.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens in your browser. Nothing goes up unless you click “Share with a link” yourself.
Which format should I choose?
JPG for photos: small, and it opens everywhere. If the image has transparency — a logo, a cut-out figure — then PNG or WebP, because JPG fills transparent areas with white. For a website, WebP is the smallest of the three.
Why is the file bigger than the original?
Because HEIC is a more efficient format than JPG: the same picture takes more room as a JPG. If that bothers you, lower the quality, or take the result over to the image compressor.
Does it convert animations too?
No, and we would rather say so than quietly hand back just the first frame. Animated GIFs, WebPs and image sequences are refused. The still frame of an iPhone Live Photo, however, converts perfectly.
Is there a limit on how many images I can add?
Twenty at a time. Not because of a server — there is no server in this step — but because a phone’s memory cannot hold more than that at once.
