HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos by default. It stores good quality in a small file, but many Windows apps, Android phones and websites can't open it.

Do I need special software to open HEIC?

No. The HEIC decoder runs inside this page as WebAssembly, so it works in any modern browser without installing a codec or app.

Can I stop my iPhone saving HEIC?

Yes. In Settings, Camera, Formats, choose Most Compatible and new photos are saved as JPG. Photos already taken stay HEIC.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every live tool on JustYourConvert opens and converts your files inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers, and the result is saved straight from your browser.

Is JustYourConvert free?

Yes. Every tool is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Clearly labeled ads keep it that way.

Is there a file size limit?

Only your device's memory. Because the work happens in your browser, very large files can be slow on phones and older computers. Each tool says its practical limit under the drop area.

HEIC to JPG Converter: what to know

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads. It stores images compressed with HEVC, the same codec used for modern video, which keeps photo quality high at roughly half the size of a comparable JPG. The catch is compatibility: Windows needs an extra codec, many Android phones and websites can't open it, and lots of upload forms reject it.

This converter decodes HEIC files with a WebAssembly build of libheif that runs inside the page, so it works in any modern browser without installing anything. The decoded photo is then encoded as JPG, the format every device, app and website accepts. Your photos are processed on your own device and never uploaded.

HEIC can hold extras that JPG can't, such as depth maps, multiple images in one file and 10-bit color. The JPG keeps the main photo in standard 8-bit color. Some HEIC files from newer phones contain several images, and converting the primary one gives you the photo you see in your gallery. Large batches of high-resolution photos take a little time and memory.
