HEIC to JPG Converter
No upload · remove location data · free

Why can't I open iPhone photos on my computer?

By default an iPhone saves photos as HEIC. The format keeps files small at high quality, but many computers, apps and websites don't support it, so you may see "can't open", "unsupported format" or a blank preview when you:

• open the photo on a Windows PC (extra codecs may be needed),
• use older software or some office and photo editing apps,
• upload to a form that only accepts JPG or PNG,
• share with Android phones, marketplaces or forums.

Converting to JPG solves all of these. Just choose your files above.

How to use

1. Drop your HEIC photos onto the box (or click to choose them).
2. Pick how to handle location data. If unsure, keep "Remove location only".
3. Save each JPG, or use "Save all as ZIP".

If you change the settings afterwards, press "Convert again with these settings".

What are EXIF and GPS data? Should I remove them?

Phone photos can contain EXIF metadata such as the date, camera model and exposure, plus the latitude and longitude where the photo was taken. If you post a photo as-is, others may be able to work out where you live or work. Some services strip it automatically, but not all do.

For photos you share or publish, "Remove location only" or "Remove everything" is the safer choice. After conversion, each photo shows whether the original contained location data, along with the date and camera name.

Nothing is uploaded (and how to check)

Conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, and your photos are never sent anywhere. You can verify this: open your browser's developer tools (F12), switch to the Network tab and convert a photo. No photo data is transmitted. Ads load when the page opens, but they never receive your photos.

Save as JPG from the start (iPhone settings)

• Future photos: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
• When importing to a PC: Settings → Photos → "Transfer to Mac or PC" → Automatic.
• Photos already saved as HEIC can be converted on this page.

FAQ

Will quality drop?

JPG is lossy, so there is a tiny theoretical loss. At quality 92 or higher the difference is practically invisible. JPG files are usually larger than HEIC.

How many photos can I convert?

There is no limit, but everything uses your device's memory, so work in batches of a few dozen for large collections.

Does it support Live Photos or videos?

Only the still image is converted. The video part (.MOV) is not supported.

Will the colors change?

The original color profile (ICC) is embedded in the JPG, so color-managed viewers show the same colors as the original.

Some files fail to convert.

Files that are already JPG/PNG, damaged files and a few unusual variants can't be converted. If a file is named .heic but is actually another format, you'll see a message.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It's free and needs no account.
