How do I change HEIC to JPG on Windows 10 or 11?

Open this page in any browser on the PC, drop the .heic file in, and download the JPG. Windows itself needs a paid codec from the Microsoft Store to even preview HEIC, so converting in the browser sidesteps that entirely — nothing to install.

How do I change HEIC to JPG on an iPhone?

Open this page in Safari on the iPhone and add the photo — iOS already understands HEIC, so it converts instantly with no decoder to download. To stop the problem at the source, set Settings → Camera → Formats to Most Compatible so new photos save as JPG.

Is there an offline HEIC to JPG converter?

This one is the next best thing: the conversion itself runs entirely on your device, so no photo is ever transmitted, and after the first use the decoder is cached by your browser. You still need to load the page once — but there is no app to install and no upload at any point.

Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?

Yes — a completely free online HEIC to JPG converter. No signup, no email, no watermark on the JPG, and no limit on how many photos you convert. There is no paid tier, because there is no server doing the work to pay for.

Do I need to download a HEIC to JPG converter for Windows 10?

No. Downloadable converters exist, and Windows itself will point you at a paid HEIC codec in the Microsoft Store, but neither is necessary — this page converts HEIC to JPG in any browser on Windows 10 or 11 with nothing installed. That also avoids the usual risk of grabbing a free converter .exe from a search result.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG as well as JPG?

This tool outputs JPG, which is the right format for photographs — the same photo saved as PNG is typically several times larger with no visible gain. If you genuinely need PNG, convert to JPG here, then run that JPG through JPG to WebP and WebP to PNG. For a camera photo, though, JPG is what you want.

How does this compare to CloudConvert?

Both give you a JPG. The difference is where the conversion happens: CloudConvert uploads your photo to its servers and converts it there, while ResizeMate decodes the HEIC in your own browser, so the photo never leaves your device. That matters for camera-roll photos, which carry GPS coordinates and timestamps. CloudConvert handles far more file formats; this page does one job without transmitting anything.

HEIC is the photo format Apple has used since iOS 11. It stores the same image quality in about half the space of a JPG, but is not supported everywhere.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

A little, in the same way any JPG save does — but at the default quality the difference is not visible on a normal photo. What you gain is a file that opens on every device, in every app, without a codec.

Why can Windows not open my HEIC?

Windows does not include a HEIC codec by default and asks you to buy one from the Microsoft Store. Converting to JPG avoids that entirely.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The HEIC is decoded in your browser on your own device. Nothing is transmitted, which matters because camera-roll photos carry location data.

Will the JPG be bigger than the HEIC?

Usually about twice the size. HEIC compresses far more efficiently, so universal compatibility costs some bytes.

Does it work on Android and Windows?

Yes. On browsers without native HEIC support a decoder is loaded once, then everything runs locally as usual.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

Wait a moment. The first HEIC loads a decoder into your browser. Later files convert instantly.
Download JPG. Download a JPG that opens in any app on any device.

Why your iPhone photos will not open

Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos as HEIC rather than JPG. It is a genuinely better format — roughly half the file size at the same quality — which is why Apple switched.

The problem is everything that is not an Apple device. Windows needs a paid codec from the Microsoft Store to preview them, most Android phones cannot open them, and a great many websites, upload forms and older applications reject the format outright. Converting to JPG trades some file size for the ability to open the photo anywhere.

This one really does stay on your device

Every other HEIC converter you will find uploads your photo to a server, converts it there, and sends it back. Camera-roll photos carry GPS coordinates, timestamps and faces, so that is a meaningful thing to hand to a stranger — and "we delete after an hour" is a promise you cannot verify.

ResizeMate decodes HEIC inside your browser using a decoder loaded from this site. Nothing is transmitted, there is no server that could keep a copy, and closing the tab is the end of it.

What to expect

The first HEIC takes a second or two while the decoder loads — about 1 MB, fetched once and then cached by your browser. Everything after that is instant.
On an iPhone or a Mac using Safari, no decoder is needed at all: the browser already understands HEIC, so conversion is immediate.
The JPG will be larger than the HEIC — usually around double — because JPG compresses less efficiently. That is the cost of universal compatibility.
Live Photos convert to a single still frame; the motion is not part of the image.
Location and camera metadata are not carried into the JPG, which for most people is a privacy improvement.

Stop your iPhone making HEICs

If you convert these constantly, change the setting instead. On your iPhone open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG.

You will use noticeably more storage, and existing photos are unaffected — but you will stop hitting this problem every time you send a picture to someone who is not on an iPhone.
