HEIC to JPG: a photo that opens

A form or an older app often accepts JPG and refuses a HEIC from the phone. Drop the .heic or .heif still here and download a JPEG encoded at quality 0.92, at the same pixel size as the photo. That encode is meant for sharing and ordinary prints. JPEG is still lossy, so keep the HEIC on your phone if you might edit or reprint later. You can add several photos. Each one converts on its own and, on the free plan, counts toward eight files a day, with a 12 MB cap per file. Pro raises the cap to 100 MB and removes the daily count. A file larger than about 4 MB uses the dedicated server when that server is available. On the server the JPEG quality is 92 as well. The privacy policy says uploads and outputs are deleted after processing, typically within one hour and no later than 24 hours.

A JPG that opens in mail and older apps

The point of this page is a share copy, not a new master. Quality 0.92 keeps the photo looking like the picture you took, at the same width and height.

Quality 0.92, same pixel size

The JPEG is encoded at 0.92 on both the standard converter and the dedicated server. Width and height stay with the photo. The JPG is often larger than the HEIC, because HEIC is the compact original and this encode favors a clean copy you can send.

One photo at a time, even in a batch

Several files are welcome. Each still becomes its own JPG and each free conversion counts toward the eight-a-day allowance. There is no camera-roll zip on this page. Convert the photos you are about to attach.

What to do with the original

Leave the HEIC in Photos if you still want the smaller master for a later crop or a large print. The JPG is the file you upload. If a form then complains about size, compress that JPG afterward.

How to turn a HEIC into a JPG

  1. 1

    Drop the HEIC or HEIF still

    The converter accepts .heic and .heif. A .mov sitting next to a Live Photo is a video, so add the image file. If the name says .heic but the bytes are already a JPEG or PNG, you still get a JPG.

  2. 2

    Download the JPG

    Quality is fixed at 0.92. There is no extra crush slider and no watermark on the photo. Pixel size stays with the picture.

  3. 3

    Send the JPG, keep the HEIC

    Attach the JPG to the form or the email. Keep the HEIC until you are sure you will not need another edit. Each file on the free plan counts as one of eight daily conversions, up to 12 MB.

iPhone photos, Windows PCs, and web forms

A form that only lists JPG

Vendor portals, school uploads, and older desktop apps often have a JPG filter. Convert the still, then upload the download.

Sharing a phone photo with a Windows PC

A HEIC can fail to open on a machine that never installed the extra photo codec. A JPG at quality 0.92 opens in the browser, in mail, and in a basic photo viewer.

A print shop that asked for JPEG

Quality 0.92 is a high encode for ordinary prints. Convert the photos you are sending and leave the HEIC at home for a later reprint.

A JPG that opens where HEIC does not

The JPG is bigger than the HEIC

That is common. HEIC is the compact master. This page favors a clean share copy over another round of squeezing. Compress the JPG later if a form complains about size.

The file name says HEIC but it was already a JPEG

The converter still writes a JPG. Open it and confirm the picture looks right. You have a standard file either way.

Other ways to export the photo

What happens to the photo

A fixed, high JPEG encode

Quality stays at 0.92. You are not hunting through a hidden web preset. The photo’s pixel size is unchanged.

Free plan and privacy

Free files are up to 12 MB, eight a day. Pro is 100 MB with the daily count removed. The privacy policy covers deletion after processing, typically within one hour and no later than 24 hours.
