HEIC to JPG Converter

Steps to Change HEIC Photos to JPG

From iPhone photo to a JPG you can send anywhere, in five short steps.

1. 1

   1. Add your HEIC photos

   Drop the photos on the box marked "HEIC or HEIF photos", or press Choose files and pick them. There is no cap on the count, and further photos can join the list later.

   Good to know:

   • Both .heic and .heif files are accepted.
   • Use the arrow buttons or Sort A–Z to change the order.
   • The cross beside a photo removes it from the list.

   2. Keep JPG selected

   Under Options, "Convert to" is already set to the JPG button. That is the right choice for forms, email, chat and printing. The other option, PNG, is for editing work where every pixel must stay exact.

   3. Set the quality

   The Quality slider starts at 90 percent, and at that setting hardly anyone can tell the copy from the HEIC. Slide it down towards 70 for smaller files, or up to 100 when you plan to print large.

   4. Press Convert to JPG

   The button shows its progress while it works, first loading the HEIC reader and then counting through your photos one by one. A batch of phone photos usually takes a few seconds.

   5. Save the JPG files

   One photo is saved straight away with the same name and a .jpg ending. Two or more come as converted-photos.zip, which you open by tapping it on a phone or double-clicking it on a computer.

Tips for Better HEIC to JPG Results

1. Leave the quality at 90 unless a form sets a size limit. You will rarely see a difference, and the file stays reasonable.

2. If a portal demands a tiny file, say 20 to 100 KB, convert here first, then use an image compressor to reach the exact size.

3. On the iPhone, Settings, then Camera, then Formats, then Most Compatible makes the camera shoot JPG from now on.

4. Convert a large album in groups of fifty or so on an older phone. Smaller batches are easier on memory.

5. Keep the original HEIC files. JPG loses a little detail each time it is saved, so always convert from the original.

6. Choose PNG instead if you are going to edit the picture heavily or need a transparent background.

7. Open one of the new JPGs before deleting anything, just to be sure the batch worked as expected.
