About this tool
About this tool
HEIC to JPG decodes HEIC and HEIF images locally using a browser decoder that loads on demand, then exports JPG, PNG, or WebP at your chosen quality. Decoding depends on browser support, and failures show a clear message.
iPhone photos arrive as HEIC, which many websites and programs cannot open. This tool decodes HEIC and HEIF files in your browser and exports JPG, PNG, or WebP, so nothing is uploaded.
Built for daily work
- Open iPhone photos in programs that only accept JPG.
- Upload HEIC photos to a website that rejects the format.
- Convert a batch of camera photos to WebP for the web.
- Share a photo with someone on an older device.

Limitations and important notes
Limitations and important notes
- Decoding requires a browser that can run the WASM decoder.
- The decoder library downloads from a CDN on first use, so one-time internet access is needed.
- Live photos convert to a still image; the motion component is dropped.
- Very large images may take a moment to decode.
Frequently asked questions

No. Decoding and conversion run locally in your browser; the decoder library itself loads from a CDN but your photo never leaves the device.
Some browsers or files cannot run the decoder. The tool shows a clear message, and you can retry with another file or a modern desktop browser.
