Convert HEIC to JPG online

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG with a quality slider and live preview. Decoding stays on your device.

What is a HEIC to JPG converter?

HEIC is the default still format on many iPhones. Plenty of Windows apps, CMSs, and email clients still expect JPG. This converter decodes HEIC in the browser (WebAssembly) and re-encodes JPEG at the quality you pick, so you can send a compatible file without installing desktop codecs.

Tips for converting HEIC to JPG

Get the best results.
  • 01

    Use quality 90+ for print

    Higher quality settings preserve more detail for printing.

  • 02

    Lower quality for web

    Quality 70–80 offers a good balance of file size and appearance.

  • 03

    Check orientation

    HEIC files store EXIF orientation, the tool handles rotation automatically.

  • 04

    Using the JPG as album art

    MP3 cover art must be JPG or PNG, so converting first is the reliable route. Then embed the image into your track with MP3 Cover Adder.

  • 05

    Keep the capture date visible

    iPhone HEIC files carry a capture date, but converting to JPG does not print it on the picture. Burn a readable date stamp onto the pixels with Date & Time Stamp when the photo is going into an archive or evidence folder.
