iPhone and iPad cameras save photos as HEIC, which many
website upload forms, older Windows PCs, and email clients refuse to open. Drop your
.heic
files below to get standard JPGs — batch supported, no signup, no watermark.

Since iOS 11, Apple has saved photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) because it stores roughly half the bytes of an equivalent JPG at similar visual quality. That is good for your camera roll and bad for everything else: plenty of web forms only accept image/jpeg, some desktop software has no HEIC decoder at all, and email clients may refuse to embed the file.
Renaming IMG_1234.HEIC
to IMG_1234.jpg does not
work, because the extension is only a label — the bytes inside are still HEIC. The image must be decoded and
re-encoded, which is what this converter does.
.heic or .heif files from your camera roll or desktop.On an iPhone you can browse straight to your photo library from the file picker, which saves exporting to Files first. Nothing is emailed to you and no account is created.
If nothing is rejecting your file, keep the original. HEIC stays smaller on disk for the same visual quality, and it is what the iPhone, Photos app, and iCloud expect. Convert only when something downstream demands JPG — an upload portal, a printer, a colleague on Windows, or a CMS that strips unknown formats.
Format and file-size rules are separate. Once you have the JPG, read the form's instructions for a maximum size or an exact pixel box. Government and job portals commonly cap photos at 20 KB, 50 KB, or 100 KB and specify dimensions such as 200 × 230. Use the image compressor to set a target file size, and the exam photo guide for the full checklist.
Pick one or more .heic or .heif files above, then press Convert to JPG. Each photo is converted and a download link appears next to it. There is no signup, no email, and no watermark, and the tool is free to use.
Because the file name is only a label. HEIC and JPG store pixels in completely different ways, so renaming produces a file that still contains HEIC data. Most upload forms then reject it as an invalid image. The photo has to be decoded and re-encoded, which is what this tool does.
Yes, for this tool only. Browsers cannot decode HEIC natively, so the conversion runs on our server. Files are written to a temporary folder, converted, and that folder is deleted immediately afterwards — they are not kept as an archive, and we do not require an account. If you prefer fully on-device processing, use the compressor on the homepage for JPG, PNG, or WEBP files.
JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded — but at the quality this tool uses, the difference is not visible in normal viewing, and JPG is what application forms, email clients, and older software expect. If you need a pixel-perfect copy for archiving, keep the original HEIC or export PNG instead.
Yes. Select multiple .heic files in one go and each one is converted separately with its own download link. That is faster than repeating the process photo by photo when you have a batch from the same camera roll.
Convert to JPG first, then check the size limit in the form instructions. If your portal caps uploads at 20 KB, 100 KB, or a specific pixel size, run the converted JPG through the image compressor on the homepage and set a target file size or exact width and height. Converting format and hitting a size limit are two separate steps.
