Convert HEIC to JPG
Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG online, free and 100% in your browser. No upload, no signup — get photos that open anywhere in seconds.
How to convert a HEIC photo
- Drop or pick a HEIC or HEIF photo from your iPhone or camera.
- JPG is already selected as the target; tune the quality slider if you like (default 82).
- Convert and save. The photo now opens on any device or app.
Why convert HEIC?
HEIC is the space-saving format iPhones shoot by default — efficient, but most websites, Windows PCs and older apps can't open it. JPEG is the universal lossy photo format, small and readable everywhere, but with no transparency.
Converting to JPG is the classic fix: every device, app and upload form accepts a JPG, which is why it's the first thing to reach for when an iPhone photo won't open.
OptImg decodes the HEIC right on your device and re-encodes it locally, so your photo is never uploaded — unlike most online HEIC converters, which send every image to their servers. That's also why there's no queue and no size limit beyond your device's memory.
Frequently asked questions
- Are my iPhone photos uploaded to a server?
- No. The HEIC-to-JPG conversion runs entirely in your browser: your photo never leaves your device, there's no queue, and no size limit beyond your device's memory.
- Why won't my HEIC photos open in the first place?
- HEIC is Apple's default camera format, and most browsers, Windows PCs and older apps can't open it, largely for licensing reasons. Converting to JPG fixes that for good — this tool brings its own HEIC support, so it works in any modern browser.
- Will the JPG be smaller than the HEIC?
- Often it's a little larger — HEIC is very efficient, so a same-quality JPG can be bigger. The goal here is compatibility, not size; run the result through Compress JPG if you want it smaller.
- Is the HEIC to JPG converter free?
- Yes: completely free, with no signup, no watermark and no cap on how many photos you convert. There's nothing to install; it runs in your browser.
