The complete guide to HEIC to JPG Converter
Last updated June 1, 2026HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11 — it's 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, which is why iPhones use it. The problem: Android phones, Windows PCs, and most web platforms can't open HEIC files without additional software. Converting HEIC to JPG makes iPhone photos universally compatible.
Convertify's HEIC to JPG converter runs entirely in your browser using a WASM-powered HEIC decoder, so your private iPhone photos never leave your device. Batch conversion handles entire album exports — drop a folder of 200 HEIC files and download them all as JPGs in one ZIP.

Step-by-step: how to use HEIC to JPG Converter
- 1
Upload HEIC files
Drag one or many .heic or .heif files onto the upload zone. iPhone photo exports and AirDrop transfers are the most common source.
- 2
Set quality
Choose output JPEG quality (85% is a good default — barely distinguishable from original HEIC quality, at a predictable file size).
- 3
Convert and download
Single files download as .jpg directly; batches download as a ZIP containing one .jpg per original .heic file.
Real-world scenarios
Sharing iPhone photos with Android users
WhatsApp and email on Android can struggle with HEIC attachments. Convert to JPG before sharing for guaranteed compatibility — the recipient's phone opens them without issues.
Uploading to web platforms
Most website CMSes, e-commerce platforms, and online galleries require JPG or PNG. iPhone photos shot in HEIC need conversion before upload. Batch-convert an entire shoot before uploading to Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress.
Windows PC compatibility
Windows 10 and 11 can open HEIC with the paid codec extension, but many enterprise PCs don't have it. Convert HEIC to JPG before transferring files to a shared drive or emailing to Windows colleagues.
Social media and image tools
Many social media upload tools and graphic design platforms (Canva, Adobe Express) don't accept HEIC. Convert first, then upload to any platform without compatibility issues.
Troubleshooting and edge cases
The JPG looks slightly different in color from the original HEIC.⌄
HEIC uses the Display P3 wide color gamut on modern iPhones; JPG typically uses sRGB. The conversion maps P3 colors to sRGB, which can slightly mute vivid colors. This is a standard limitation of JPEG and sRGB — it's not a converter error.
EXIF data (location, camera settings) is missing after conversion.⌄
Convertify preserves EXIF metadata by default. If metadata is missing, check your photo upload source — some iPhone export methods strip EXIF before the file reaches the converter.
The file I'm uploading isn't recognized as HEIC.⌄
Some HEIC files are named .heif (the container format name). Both extensions are supported. If your file is named something else, check the original iPhone Photos export settings — ensure you're exporting in 'Original Format' mode.
