About HEIC to JPG

iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC (the HEIF format with HEVC compression) by default, because it stores roughly the same quality as JPEG in much less space. The catch is compatibility: many Windows PCs, websites and older apps can't open HEIC. This tool decodes HEIC/HEIF photos and saves them as standard JPGs.

When it helps

  • Sharing iPhone photos with Windows or Android users whose apps don't open HEIC.
  • Uploading phone photos to websites and forms that only accept JPG.
  • Converting photos AirDropped or exported from an iPhone so you can edit them in older software.
  • Preparing pictures of documents or IDs taken on an iPhone without sending them to an online service.

Tips

  • Use a quality of 85-90% to keep the photo looking like the original. The JPG will usually be larger than the HEIC because JPEG compresses less efficiently.
  • Max dimensions defaults to 4096 px and recent iPhones shoot at higher resolutions. Raise the width and height if you need full resolution.
  • On an iPhone you can also set Camera > Formats > Most Compatible to shoot JPG directly in the future.

Good to know

Quick answers about heic to jpg in your browser.

JPEG is lossy, so there is a small amount of re-compression, but at 85% quality or higher the difference is very hard to see. Expect the file to grow, since HEIC is more efficient than JPEG.

Apple switched to HEIC to save storage. It keeps similar visual quality at roughly half the size of a JPEG and supports features like depth data and wide color.

You can convert the still HEIC image. The motion part of a Live Photo is a separate video file and isn't included in the JPG.
