All iPhone & iPad HEIC
Handles standard .heic and .heif files from any iPhone (since iPhone 7 with iOS 11), iPad, and other Apple devices shooting in HEIC format.
Quality Control
A quality slider from 60–100 lets you balance file size vs. sharpness. 85 is a good default — visually indistinguishable from 100 at 40% smaller file size.

Process

HOW IT WORKS

A WebAssembly HEIF decoder runs inside your browser — same decoding pipeline as native apps, but completely private.

01
Drop your HEIC photos
Select one or up to 20 .heic files from your iPhone photos folder (often called "DCIM" or "Camera Roll" after airdropping to a PC).
02
Decode & convert in browser
A WebAssembly HEIF decoder reads each file and converts it to a JPEG Blob. This runs entirely locally — no upload, no server, no waiting in a queue.
03
Download your JPGs
Single file = direct .jpg download. Multiple files = one ZIP with all converted photos, original names preserved.
FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's photo format, adopted with iOS 11 in 2017. It compresses photos about twice as efficiently as JPG — a 12MP HEIC is roughly half the size of the same photo in JPG.

The problem: it's an Apple standard. Windows 10/11 needs a paid codec from the Microsoft Store to open HEIC natively. Android, most web browsers, and many image editors don't support it at all. Converting to JPG gives you a file that works everywhere.

HEIC uses the H.265 (HEVC) video codec for image compression — the same algorithm that compresses 4K video. Decoding it requires significant computation. In native apps (like macOS Photos or iPhoto), this is done by dedicated hardware in Apple chips. In a browser, it runs in WebAssembly — fast, but without hardware acceleration. A typical 12MP iPhone photo takes 3–8 seconds. This is unavoidable with browser-only, no-upload decoding.

Yes, technically — converting from one lossy format to another is called "generational loss." But at quality 85 or higher, the difference is invisible to the human eye. Think of it like photocopying a photo: the copy looks fine, even if technically there's been some mathematical information loss.

At quality 100, the JPEG is about as large as the original HEIC but the visible quality is essentially identical. At quality 85, it's about 40% smaller than quality 100 and still looks excellent for sharing, printing, or social media.

AirDrop to a Mac — opens in Photos, export as JPG from there (simpler than this tool).

AirDrop or cable to Windows — transfer via Files app or USB. On Windows, HEIC files appear in the DCIM folder. Then drop them into this tool.

iCloud Drive / Google Photos — upload from iPhone, download to PC. iCloud sometimes auto-converts to JPG when downloading on a non-Apple device.

Tip: On iPhone go to Settings → Camera → Formats → "Most Compatible" to shoot in JPG automatically going forward. HEIC only makes sense if you need smaller file sizes and stay in the Apple ecosystem.

No. The HEIC decoder is a WebAssembly module that runs entirely inside your browser tab. Your photos are read from your hard drive, decoded in memory, and saved back to your disk — nothing is ever sent over the network. Only an anonymous "+1 conversion" count reaches the server. Safe for personal, medical, or legally sensitive photos.

Yes. HEIC and HEIF are the same container format (HEIC is Apple's brand name for HEIF). Files ending in .heif work identically. Some Android phones and cameras also shoot in HEIF — those files convert just as well.
