How to convert HEIC to JPEG
- Add your .HEIC file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .JPEG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .JPEG file.
What to expect
- This is a lossy re-encode on top of an already-compressed source, so it won't add quality and may slightly soften detail.
- HEIC features such as HDR/10-bit color, depth maps and alpha aren't supported by JPEG and are lost.
- At comparable visual quality, JPEG files are usually larger than the original HEIC.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting HEIC to JPEG reduce quality?
It can slightly. HEIC uses efficient HEVC compression, and the JPEG is a second lossy pass on top of it, so while the result looks visually similar, fine detail may soften a little.
Why convert HEIC to JPEG?
HEIC, common on iPhones, isn't supported everywhere. JPEG opens on every device, app and website, so converting removes compatibility problems when sharing or uploading photos.
Where will the JPEG open?
In any operating system's built-in viewer and in every web browser, without extra software.
What HEIC features are lost, and is the file bigger?
JPEG is usually larger than HEIC at similar quality, and HEIC extras such as 10-bit color, HDR gain maps, depth data and transparency are flattened or dropped.
