Quick answer. HEIC is the efficient photo format many iPhones use. This tool turns HEIC (and HEIF, PNG or WebP) into everyday JPG files in your browser — useful for Etsy, eBay, email and Windows apps that still prefer JPG.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Add your photos. Click the box or drag HEIC, HEIF, PNG, WebP or JPG files onto it. You can convert a whole batch at once.
- Set JPG quality. Around 90% keeps listing photos sharp. Drop toward 80% if you need smaller email attachments.
- Press Convert to JPG. Each photo shows a preview, pixel size and file size. Download one file, or all of them in a ZIP when you convert more than one.
Why convert HEIC?
| Situation | Why JPG helps |
|---|---|
| Etsy, eBay or Shopify listing uploads | Marketplaces accept JPG everywhere; some still reject HEIC. |
| Emailing buyers or suppliers | JPG opens on phones, Windows and Mac without extra apps. |
| Older Windows PCs | Windows needs an optional HEIF pack; JPG just works. |
| Turning photos into a PDF | Use JPG to PDF after conversion. |
Tips for sharp listing photos
- Start from the original. Convert the HEIC from your camera roll, then resize with the Image Resizer & Compressor to Etsy or eBay sizes.
- Quality 85–95%. Below 80% you may see banding in skies or soft fabric detail.
- Transparency becomes white. JPG cannot keep transparent backgrounds; use PNG if you need transparency.
- Privacy. Saving through the canvas removes most hidden EXIF (camera model, GPS). That matches how our other image tools work.
How this tool works
HEIC files are decoded in your browser with the open-source heic2any library (loaded from a public CDN only when this page needs it). The image is drawn onto a canvas and re-encoded as JPG at the quality you chose. PNG, WebP and similar formats skip the HEIC step and go straight to the canvas. No photo is sent to our server.
Once you have a JPG, you can extract a colour palette with Color Palette from Image.
Frequently asked questions
Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you convert. Everything runs in your browser.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Photos are opened and converted by code running in this browser tab. They never leave your device, and closing the tab removes them.
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on many iPhones and iPads. It keeps high quality in a smaller file than JPG, but some websites, email clients and Windows apps still prefer JPG.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes. Add a batch of photos, set the JPG quality, and convert them together. Download each JPG or all of them in one ZIP.
Will transparency be kept?
JPG does not support transparency. Transparent PNG or WebP areas are filled with white when converted.
Does it work offline?
After the page and the HEIC library have loaded once, conversion needs no further network. Download links are blob URLs that stop working when you reload or close the tab.
My HEIC will not open — what now?
Very new or unusual HEIC variants can fail. Try exporting the photo as JPG from your phone Photos app, or open it in Safari, which has native HEIC support.
