Why convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. While HEIC offers excellent compression, it is not supported on Windows, most Android devices, many web platforms, or older macOS versions. JPG is the most universally compatible image format — supported by every device, browser, and application.
Converting HEIC to JPG makes your iPhone photos instantly shareable via email, social media, and messaging apps without compatibility issues. JPG uses lossy compression, so files will be slightly larger than HEIC but compatible everywhere.
At quality 85–90, JPG produces results that are visually indistinguishable from the original HEIC photo. For lossless conversion, consider PNG instead. For the smallest web-optimized files, convert to WebP or AVIF.
All processing happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No registration, no limits, no watermarks.

Tips for converting HEIC to JPG
- Start with quality 85 – this is typically the sweet spot for JPG compression, offering significant file size reduction with minimal visible quality loss.
- Batch convert for efficiency – if you have many HEIC files, use the batch conversion feature to process them all at once. This saves considerable time compared to one-by-one conversion.
- Compare before downloading – use the live preview to compare the original HEIC with the JPG result. Adjust quality settings until you find the right balance for your specific use case.
- Keep your originals – always save a copy of your original HEIC files. Lossy compression is irreversible, so having the originals allows you to re-convert with different settings later.

Quality settings – what to choose when converting HEIC to JPG?
The quality slider lets you set a value from 60% to 95%. Higher values mean better image quality but larger file sizes.
- 85% (recommended) – the best balance for iPhone photos. The visual difference compared to the original HEIC is virtually imperceptible.
- 90–95% – for professional photography or printing where maximum detail is essential.
- 60–75% – for email attachments and social media where file size matters more than fine detail.
HEIC already uses lossy compression (HEVC), so converting to JPG is a lossy-to-lossy conversion. Keep the original HEIC files as backups in case you need to re-convert later.
How much can you save by converting HEIC to JPG?
JPG files are typically similar in size or slightly larger than HEIC, since HEIC uses more efficient compression:
iPhone photo (12 MP)
HEIC: 2.1 MB → JPG: 2.8 MB
33% larger at quality 85
Portrait mode
HEIC: 1.5 MB → JPG: 1.9 MB
27% larger at quality 85
iPhone photo (48 MP)
HEIC: 5 MB → JPG: 7.2 MB
44% larger at quality 85
The primary benefit is compatibility, not size reduction. JPG works everywhere while HEIC is limited to Apple devices.
