Do you store or access my photos?

No. Your photos never leave your device. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. We have no ability to see, store, or access your files. Our client-side conversion code is open source so you can verify this yourself.

Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

There is minimal quality loss. JPG uses lossy compression, so there's a slight reduction compared to the original HEIC. For photos, the difference is virtually imperceptible. We use a quality setting of 92% by default, which balances file size and visual quality.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Yes — drop multiple files into the converter. Free users can convert unlimited HEIC files since it's all processed in your browser. Batch conversion with a single download (ZIP) is available for Pro users.

Why can't I open HEIC files on my Windows PC?

Windows doesn't natively support HEIC. Microsoft offers a paid HEIC codec extension, but the easiest solution is to convert your HEIC files to JPG, which Windows supports natively. Alternatively, you can change your iPhone's camera settings to capture in JPG instead of HEIC (Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible).

Why Convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG while maintaining similar quality — great for saving storage on your iPhone, but a headache when you need to share photos with non-Apple devices, upload to websites, or use them in applications that don't support HEIC.

JPG (also called JPEG) is the universal standard for photos. Every device, browser, app, social media platform, and email client supports it. Converting to JPG ensures your photos work everywhere without compatibility issues.

Common scenarios: sharing photos with Android or Windows users, uploading product images to e-commerce platforms, submitting photos for applications or forms, embedding images in documents or presentations, or posting to platforms that don't accept HEIC.

HEIC vs JPG: What's the Difference?

Both formats store photographic images, but they differ in key ways:

Attribute	HEIC	JPG
File Size	~50% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality	Larger files, but universally supported
Quality	Excellent — supports 16-bit color depth	Very good — 8-bit color depth, slight compression artifacts
Transparency	Supported (alpha channel)	Not supported
Compatibility	Apple devices, recent Android, some web browsers	Universal — every device and platform
Editing	Limited software support	Supported by all image editors
Live Photos	Can contain image sequences	Single static image only

HEIC is technically superior but JPG wins on compatibility. If you need your photos to work everywhere, JPG is the safe choice.

Your Photos Stay on Your Device

This conversion runs entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. Your HEIC photos are never uploaded to our servers or any third party. We literally cannot see your files — the conversion happens in a sandboxed process on your own device. You can verify this by checking your browser's network tab during conversion: zero outbound requests.
