Drag your iPhone photos anywhere on this page to convert HEIC to JPG free. Each one converts instantly at full resolution, saves as a JPG, and stays completely private. No file cap, no signup, no app to install. Works on Windows, Mac, and Android.
Why iPhones make HEIC files
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), which is roughly half the file size of a JPG at the same quality. Great for your storage; terrible the moment the photo needs to open on Windows, an Android phone, an older app, a government upload form, or basically anything that isn't Apple.

| Privacy | Files never leave your device | "Deleted after 1 hour," trust us |
| Signup | Never | Often, past a few files |
FAQ
Does it keep the original resolution?
Yes. Full resolution, including 48MP ProRAW-adjacent shots. Big photos are processed one at a time so even a huge batch sails through.
My HEIC is from iOS 18/26 and other converters fail on it.
We use the current HEIC decoder (most free converters run a 2021-era one). New iPhone photos work, including HDR HEICs. HDR shots come out as the standard-look SDR image every app understands.
Where do the photos go?
Nowhere. Each photo converts on the spot and the JPG saves straight to your Downloads folder. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone. Skeptical? Here's how to check.
Can they download automatically?
Flip Auto-download in the header and every photo saves itself the moment it finishes converting.
