Turn iPhone HEIC photos into JPG or PNG so they open on Windows, Android, older software and upload forms. Add a whole batch at once. PixOtter converts them in your browser, so your personal photos are never uploaded to a server.

How to heic to jpg converter online

  1. Add your HEIC photos. Drop them above or click to browse. Several at once is fine.
  2. Choose JPG or PNG. JPG is smaller and works everywhere; PNG is lossless.
  3. Convert. The first time, a small decoder downloads into your browser.
  4. Download each photo, or all of them in one go.

Why use PixOtter's HEIC to JPG Converter?

  • Batch conversion of many photos at once
  • No upload, ideal for personal photos
  • JPG or PNG output
  • Free, no sign-up or watermark

Worked example

You have 40 holiday photos copied from an iPhone to a Windows laptop, and they all end in .HEIC. Select them all, choose JPG at 90% and click Convert. Each one appears as a JPG you can open anywhere; click Download all to save them together.

For a single photo needed by an upload form that only accepts JPG, the same steps take a few seconds.

When people use it

  • Opening iPhone photos on a Windows PC or Android phone
  • Uploading photos to forms and websites that only accept JPG
  • Sending photos to people who cannot open HEIC
  • Printing at kiosks and online print shops
  • Editing in older photo software

Good to know

Most browsers need to download a HEIC decoder (about 3 MB) the first time, which can be slow on mobile data. Very large batches use a lot of memory, so convert 50 or so at a time on a phone. Live Photo motion and depth data are not kept, only the still image. Location and camera data are not copied into the JPG.

HEIC to JPG Converter, frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to JPG for free?

Add your HEIC files above, choose JPG and click Convert. Each photo is converted in your browser and ready to download straight away.

Why are my iPhone photos HEIC?

iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image) by default because the files are about half the size of JPGs at similar quality. Many Windows PCs, websites and older apps cannot open them.

Is it safe to convert personal photos here?

Yes. The photos are converted on your own device and are never sent to PixOtter or anyone else.

Can I convert HEIC on Windows without installing anything?

Yes. This tool runs in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on Windows, with nothing to install.

Does it keep the photo date and location?

No. The JPG is created fresh without the original metadata, which also stops it revealing where the photo was taken.
