One photo at a time
HEIC decoding uses substantial memory. The tool converts one image per run so a large photo does not overwhelm a phone browser.
Image tools
Use the iPhone photo anywhere.
HEIC keeps photos small on an iPhone, but plenty of websites and older apps still expect JPG. Convert a photo locally and keep the original untouched.
No upload. No account. Files stay on your device. The processing happens in this browser tab—an unusual arrangement in a category full of upload forms.
Add the HEIC photo
Drop a HEIC photo here, or choose a file
iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos. One file at a time, up to 30 MB.
Added locally. Nothing is uploaded.
Choose the JPG quality
Around 90 keeps fine detail. Lower values make smaller files for messages and previews.
The HEIC decoder runs in your browser and may need to download a small component the first time. Live Photos convert as a single still image; motion and depth data are not kept.
Add a HEIC or HEIF photo from your device.
Your image is decoded and re-encoded by this browser. There is no upload step, no server-side queue, and no stored copy. How local processing works.
The short version
How it works.
No installer, no sign-up, and no second app to open. The work happens in the browser you already have, using the file already on your device.
-
Add a HEIC photo
Choose a .heic or .heif file from your device. The decoder runs in the browser and can take longer than it does for a JPEG.
-
Choose the quality
A quality around 90 keeps fine detail. Lower values make a smaller file for messages and quick previews.
-
Download the JPG
Save the converted image. The original HEIC photo remains unchanged on your device.
Fine print, without the runaround
Good to know.
Every tool has a boundary. These are the ones worth knowing before you start, so the result is not a surprise.
Live Photos keep one frame
A HEIC Live Photo may contain more than one image. Only the primary still image is converted; motion and depth information are not retained.
Why can’t some apps open HEIC?
HEIC is efficient and supported by Apple devices, but many websites and older programs still expect JPEG. Converting makes the image broadly compatible.
Is the HEIC file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in the browser. The photo is decoded and re-encoded locally, then offered as a download.
Can I convert a batch?
This tool handles one photo at a time to keep memory use predictable. Run several photos one after another if you need a batch.
