HEIC Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG or PNG. 100% local processing.
Online HEIC to JPG and PNG photo converter
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default image format on all iPhones since iOS 11. While it offers excellent compression and quality, many web platforms, desktop applications, and operating systems don't recognize it, making it difficult to share and edit these photos directly.
Our HEIC converter works entirely in your browser using the heic2any library. Your photos are never sent to any external server. Choose between JPG (smaller files, ideal for sharing) or PNG (lossless quality, ideal for editing). The quality slider lets you find the perfect balance between size and fidelity.
The tool supports batch conversion: drag multiple HEIC files at once and they'll all be converted automatically. Each image shows a before-and-after size comparison so you can see exactly how much space you save or gain with the conversion.

Why convert HEIC to JPG or PNG?

What's the difference between JPG and PNG as output format?
JPG offers smaller files with lossy compression, ideal for photos. PNG offers lossless quality and supports transparency, ideal for graphics or when maximum fidelity is needed.
