JPG · PNG · WEBP · HEIC — files never leave your browser
HEIC-to-JPG conversion runs 100% client-side using the HTML5 Canvas API. Drop your file, then download a JPG ready to upload anywhere. The original never leaves your device.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It is far more efficient than JPG (often 50% smaller for the same quality) but most government upload portals, older Windows machines, web frameworks and email clients still cannot open it. Converting to JPG is the single most reliable way to make an iPhone photo "just work" for any application form, CV upload or web embed.
What changes during conversion
The browser decodes the source file into a pixel buffer, then re-encodes that buffer with the JPG encoder. Pixel dimensions are preserved unless you explicitly resize. Color profile (sRGB) is preserved. EXIF orientation is honoured before encoding so the output is upright. Personal metadata (GPS, camera serial, owner) is stripped by default.
Quality & file size
JPG is the universal upload format. For document photos at typical passport-size pixel dimensions, the binary-search compressor finds the highest quality that still fits your target file size. In practice that means visually lossless output for anything above ~50 KB at 413×531 px, and only mild softening below that.
Because HEIC stores depth and live-photo data the JPG can't represent, you do lose some metadata in the conversion. The pixel content of the primary photo is preserved.
How to convert
- Drop your HEIC file into the editor above. Multiple files at once? Use our batch resizer.
- Optionally crop or resize. Leave the size mode on "Free" to keep the original dimensions.
- Click the Download JPG button.
Privacy
Every step happens inside the browser tab you have open. Your image is decoded, cropped and re-encoded by the same JavaScript engine that runs this page — there is no upload, no temporary file on a server, and no "processed copy" cached by us afterwards. When you close the tab, the blob is gone. We document the full pipeline on our Methodology and How it works pages.
FAQ
Is HEIC to JPG conversion safe?
Will I lose quality?
Does conversion lose quality?
Lossless → lossless conversions (PNG ↔ WebP-lossless) preserve every pixel. Lossless → lossy (PNG → JPG) introduces a one-time encoding step; for typical photographs the visual difference is invisible above quality 0.85. Lossy → lossy is technically a re-encode but, again, invisible at high quality.
Are batch conversions supported?
Yes. Use the batch resizer to drop up to 50 files at once and download a single ZIP.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Brave on desktop, plus Chrome and Safari on iOS / Android. The editor relies on the standard HTML5 Canvas API and an on-demand WebAssembly module for HEIC decoding — both are available in every browser version released since 2020.
What happens to my image after I close the tab?
It is freed from your browser's memory like any other image you opened. We never received it, so we have nothing to delete on our side. See Trust & Safety for the full policy.
