Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is efficient, but JPG is universally accepted. Convert when you need:
- Universal compatibility: JPG works across devices, apps, and platforms.
- Cross-platform sharing: Send photos to Android/Windows users without issues.
- Social uploads: Most platforms prefer or require JPG.
- Legacy support: Older apps don't read HEIC reliably.
How to Convert HEIC to JPG Online
- Click Upload HEIC and select your file.
- Wait for processing.
- Click Download JPG to save the result.
No technical steps — quality is automatically optimized.
HEIC vs JPG: Key Differences

What is HEIC?
HEIC is a file extension for images stored using the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) standard — commonly encoded with HEVC (H.265). It offers strong compression with good quality but isn't universally supported.
What is JPG?
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely supported image format. It uses lossy compression to balance quality and size, which makes it ideal for sharing and web use.
Troubleshooting
- Upload fails: Ensure the file is HEIC/HEIF and ≤ 16 MB.
- Rotated image: Some viewers ignore EXIF orientation — rotate after download if needed.
- Color shift: Wide-gamut photos may look different; convert with sRGB if required.
- Live Photos: Only the still HEIC is converted; the paired video (MOV) isn't included.
Use Cases
- Share with non-Apple users without compatibility issues.
- Upload to CMS/social that expect JPG.
- Print & edit in apps that don't read HEIC.
- Yes, the converter is completely free with no hidden charges or subscriptions.
- JPG uses lossy compression, so a small quality loss is possible. We use tuned settings (quality ~90, progressive) to keep it minimal.
- HEIC/HEIF is common on Apple devices. Many other platforms still prefer JPG by default.
- You can upload images up to 16 MB per file.
- Files are processed automatically and not retained longer than necessary for conversion.
- This page converts one file at a time. For bulk needs, repeat the process or use a batch tool.
- Use JPG for maximum compatibility, uploads to platforms that don't support HEIC, or when sharing with non-Apple devices.
JPG uses lossy compression; slight size/quality trade-offs are normal. For transparency needs, convert HEIC to PNG instead.
