HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by iPhones since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the file size of a JPG at the same visual quality, but many non-Apple apps, Windows programs, and websites cannot open it directly.

Is this HEIC to JPG converter really free?

Yes. Converting HEIC to JPG or JPG to HEIC on heiftojpg.net is free, has no daily limit disclosed to the user beyond fair-use rate limiting, and does not require an account.

Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce image quality?

At the default quality setting there is no visually noticeable loss. You can raise the quality slider up to 100 for a near-lossless JPG, though the file size will be larger.

Are my photos stored after conversion?

No. Uploaded files are held in server memory only for the duration of the conversion and are not written to permanent storage or shared with third parties.

Why heiftojpg.net

Real server-side encoding

We use production-grade image libraries (libheif/libvips) on our backend, not a slow in-browser approximation — so JPG to HEIC output is properly encoded, not a workaround.

Batch, not one-by-one

Upload a whole camera roll export at once. Convert every file in one pass and download everything as a single zip.

Nothing kept afterward

Files exist in server memory only for the seconds it takes to convert them, then they're gone. No accounts, no photo library, no tracking pixels on your images.

How it works

step 2

Drag and drop or browse. You can select as many files as you need in one go.

step 3

Download the result

Grab each file individually or download everything together as a zip archive.

Common questions

What is a HEIC file?+

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones have used by default since iOS 11. It compresses photos to roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG at the same visual quality, but a lot of Windows software, older apps, and some websites still can't open it directly — that's what this tool fixes.

Will converting to JPG lower the quality?+

Not noticeably at the default 90% quality setting. You can push the slider to 100 for a near-lossless result, at the cost of a larger file.

Is there a file limit?+

Each file can be up to 30MB, and you can convert up to 20 files in one batch. That covers the vast majority of phone photos and camera exports.

Do you store my photos?+

No. Files are held in memory only for the conversion and are discarded immediately afterward. See our privacy policy for the full details.
