HEIC to JPG converter

How to convert HEIC to JPG

1. Add your HEIC photos: drop them on the box above, or choose them from your device. You can add up to 20 at once.
2. Your browser converts each one to JPG right away. Nothing is uploaded.
3. Download each JPG, or download them all together as a single zip.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is the file an iPhone saves when the camera is set to High Efficiency, the default since iOS 11. It stores a photo in the HEIF container, compressed with HEVC, so photos stay small without an obvious loss in quality.

Support is the problem. Chrome, Edge and Firefox do not display HEIC, many upload forms reject it, and Windows needs extra codecs to open it. To shoot JPG instead, set the iPhone to Settings, Camera, Formats, Most Compatible.

What is a JPG?

JPG (also written JPEG) is the format for sharing photographs. It is lossy, which keeps files small, and every browser, phone, editing app, print lab and email client opens it. It has no transparency.

Questions

Is it private?

Yes. The converter is a page, not an upload: your browser opens each file, converts it and saves the result to your device. No file is sent to creavio or to anyone else, and nothing is stored after you close the tab. The HEIC decoder downloads once, the first time you add a HEIC photo.

Is the quality kept?

The JPG is saved at quality 92 out of 100, a high setting chosen to keep fine detail, at the same pixel dimensions as the original. Colors are saved in sRGB. Live Photo motion, depth data, HDR and EXIF metadata (camera settings, capture date, GPS location) are not carried over.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 20 at a time. Download them one by one, or all together as a single zip.

Is there a file size limit?

Each image can be up to 50 MB. A larger file shows a message and is not added.

Which browsers does it work in?

Current versions of Chrome and Safari. The HEIC decoder is part of the page, so your browser does not need to support HEIC itself.
