How to convert HEIC to JPG
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many apps and Windows PCs can't open. Here's how to convert them to universal JPG privately.
Why HEIC won't open
HEIC (HEIF) is Apple's efficient photo format. It saves space on your iPhone but isn't supported by a lot of Windows software, web forms and older apps — so the photo appears broken or won't upload.
Steps
- Open the HEIC converter and drop your .heic files.
- Choose JPG (or PNG if you need lossless).
- The photos are decoded and converted locally in your browser.
- Download a single file or the whole batch as a ZIP.
Privacy
Because conversion happens entirely on your device, your photos are never uploaded to a server — important for personal images that may contain location data. You can strip that metadata too with the EXIF remover.
