What Is HEIC to JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default image format for iPhone and iPad photos since iOS 11. While HEIC offers superior compression and quality compared to JPEG, many applications, websites, and devices don't support it. This converter transforms HEIC/HEIF images into universally compatible JPG format. The conversion preserves image quality at 92% JPEG quality. The tool attempts to use the heic2any library for conversion, with a canvas-based fallback for browsers that natively support HEIC rendering. All processing runs in your browser; no files are uploaded.

Why Use HEIC to JPG?

Technical Guide

HEIC uses the HEVC video codec for still image compression, achieving approximately 50% better compression than JPEG at equivalent quality. The conversion process uses the heic2any library which decodes the HEIC container and HEVC bitstream in JavaScript, then re-encodes as JPEG. If heic2any is not available, the tool falls back to the browser native HEIC support by creating an Image element and drawing it to a canvas. The JPEG output quality is set to 0.92.

Tips & Best Practices

1
On iPhone, you can set the camera to shoot in JPEG directly: Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible
2
HEIC files are typically 40-50% smaller than equivalent JPGs — file size will increase after conversion
3
If conversion fails, try opening the file in your default photo viewer first to verify it is valid
4
For batch conversion of many iPhone photos, try our Bulk Image Converter tool
