HEIC to JPG converter for iPhone and iPad photos

Since iOS 11, iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC by default. The format keeps files small, but a HEIC photo is often refused by websites, older software, and some Windows and Android setups. Converting it to JPG produces a photo that opens almost everywhere and can be attached, printed or uploaded without surprises.

This converter reads your HEIC or HEIF files, lets you choose the JPG quality, and gives you ordinary JPG files. You can see a small preview of each result, download photos individually, or take the whole batch as a ZIP. If you only need the pictures to be smaller afterwards, the Compress JPG and Resize Image tools pick up where this one stops.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

1Add your HEIC photosDrag and drop them onto the box, or click it to choose files. Files ending in .heic or .heif are accepted, and each file is checked to make sure it really is a HEIC photo.
2Choose the JPG qualityThe default of 90 is a good balance for photos. Lower it for smaller files, raise it to keep more detail.
3Click "Convert to JPG"Photos are converted one after another. Each finished photo shows a thumbnail and its new file size.
4Download the resultsUse the Download button next to a photo, or "Download All (ZIP)" when you converted more than one.

Choosing the JPG quality

95-100: Maximum detail and the largest files. Useful if you will edit the photo further.
85-92: Looks like the original at normal viewing sizes. 90 is the default.
70-80: Noticeably smaller files, good for email and sharing online.
Below 60: Small files, but compression artifacts start to show in smooth areas such as sky.

You can change the quality after converting. Click "Convert to JPG" again and the photos are converted again with the new setting.

What to know before you convert

Photo details are not copied. The JPG files do not include the original's EXIF data, such as the date taken, camera model or GPS location. Keep your HEIC originals if you need them.
Only the main image is converted. The video part of a Live Photo and extra data such as depth information are not included.
Colors can differ slightly. The JPG files are saved without an embedded color profile, so wide-gamut photos may look a little different on some screens.
Size limits. You can add up to 50 files at a time, each up to 100 MB. Very large photos need a lot of memory. In browsers that read HEIC themselves, photos above about 16 megapixels are scaled down to fit the browser's image limit, and the list tells you when that happens.
Speed depends on your device. Large photos can take a few seconds each, especially on older phones and computers. Photos are converted one after another.
HEIC only. AVIF, PNG, WebP and GIF files are not converted here. For PNG and WebP, see PNG to JPG and WebP to JPG.

How your photos are handled

Your photos are read by your browser from your device. They are not uploaded to LovePDFImg or to any other server.
Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac can read HEIC itself. Most versions of Chrome, Firefox and Edge cannot, so on those browsers the page downloads an open-source converter component (heic-to, which is built on the libheif library) from the jsDelivr network the first time you convert. That download is the library only, and, like any web request, it shows jsDelivr your IP address. Your photos are not part of it. The ZIP option loads a small ZIP library from cdnjs the first time you use it.
The JPG files exist only in your browser tab until you download them. LovePDFImg does not store them, and they are gone when you close or leave the page.
If you allow analytics in the cookie settings, Google Analytics measures page visits. File names and file contents are not sent. See the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

HEIC (also written HEIF) is the image format iPhones and iPads use for photos by default. It stores a photo in a smaller file than JPG at similar quality, but not every device, website or program can open it, especially older software and many upload forms. Converting to JPG gives you a file that works almost everywhere.

No. Your photos are read and converted by your browser on your own device, and the JPG files are created there too. Some browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge on most computers, cannot read HEIC by themselves, so the page downloads an open-source converter component (heic-to, a pinned version) from the jsDelivr content delivery network the first time you convert. Only that component is downloaded. Your photos are never sent anywhere.

JPG compression is lossy, so converting always re-encodes the photo. At the default quality of 90 the difference is rarely visible at normal viewing sizes. Higher settings keep more detail but make larger files, and lower settings make smaller files with more visible compression.

No. The converted JPG files do not include the EXIF information from the original, such as the date taken, GPS location or camera model. Keep the original HEIC files if you need that information.

HEIC compresses photos more efficiently than JPG, so a JPG with the same visual quality is usually larger. To make the files smaller, lower the quality setting before converting, or run the JPG files through the Compress JPG tool afterwards.

Yes. You can add up to 50 files per batch, each up to 100 MB, convert them with one click, and then download each JPG separately or all of them together as a ZIP. Photos are converted one after another so that phones and computers with limited memory can handle larger batches.

Yes. On an iPhone, open Settings, choose Camera, then Formats, and select Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you have already taken stay in HEIC, and you can convert those with this tool.
