What is HEIC and why convert it to JPG? HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 (2017). HEIC files are about 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, but they are not universally supported β WhatsApp Web, IRCTC portal, Google Forms, government portals, older Android phones, some Windows PCs, and many Indian e-commerce admin panels reject HEIC uploads. According to Apple's iOS documentation, HEIC is based on the HEVC codec (also used in 4K video). As noted by Wired: "HEIC is technically superior, but compatibility is the Achilles' heel of any format." This free tool converts your HEIC files to JPG β instantly, privately, and with preserved camera metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions β HEIC to JPG Conversion
What is a HEIC file and why does my iPhone use it?
HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 (2017). It uses the HEVC (H.265) codec and saves about 50% storage compared to JPG at the same visual quality. Apple switched to HEIC to help iPhone users store more photos in the same device storage β but the format has limited compatibility outside Apple's ecosystem.
Why do I need to convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC files are not universally accepted. Common platforms and portals that reject HEIC include: WhatsApp Web, IRCTC, Aadhaar, PAN, Passport Seva, MahaDBT, university admission portals, older versions of Windows (pre-Windows 10), Google Forms, some Android devices (pre-Android 9), and many e-commerce admin panels (Amazon Seller, Flipkart, Meesho). Converting to JPG makes your photos universally compatible.
Is this HEIC to JPG converter really private?
Yes β 100% private. Unlike most online converters, this tool runs entirely in your web browser. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. The conversion happens locally using WebAssembly and Canvas technology. No files are stored, no data is logged, no tracking pixels monitor your usage. Your photos remain on your device at all times.
How many HEIC files can I convert at once?
You can convert up to 50 HEIC files at once. This is significantly higher than most free online converters, which cap at 5β10 files. Perfect for real estate agents uploading property photos, photographers editing shoot outputs, or anyone batch-processing iPhone photos.
Will my EXIF data (date, GPS, camera settings) be preserved?
Yes β if you keep the "Preserve EXIF data" option checked (default), your JPG output will retain the original camera metadata: capture date/time, GPS coordinates, iPhone model, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and orientation. This is important for photographers and anyone needing verifiable photo timestamps.
What quality should I choose for JPG output?
We recommend 85% quality (our default) for the best balance of file size and visual quality. This produces JPGs that are visually indistinguishable from the original HEIC at 40β60% smaller file size. For print, use 95β100%. For WhatsApp or email, 70β80% is fine.
Does this work on Android phones?
Yes. Although HEIC is Apple's format, some Android phones (Samsung, Pixel) also capture in HEIC. This tool works on any modern browser β Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. All processing happens on-device, so it works offline after the first load.
Can I convert HEIC files on my iPhone directly?
Yes β open this page in Safari on your iPhone and use the tool right in the browser. iOS 16+ supports client-side WASM decoding. This is useful when you want to convert photos before sharing them via WhatsApp, email, or uploading to a portal.
What's the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF (High-Efficiency Image Format) is the container format standardised by MPEG. HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's specific implementation of HEIF using the HEVC codec. In practice, they are treated as the same format β this tool accepts both .heic and .heif extensions.
Are there any file size limits?
No hard file size limit. The only practical constraints are your device's RAM and browser capabilities. Most modern devices handle 20β50 MB HEIC files effortlessly. For extremely large batches (50 files Γ 20 MB each = 1 GB), ensure your device has sufficient free memory.
Do you store my converted JPG files?
No. Converted JPG files are held temporarily in your browser's memory only. When you close the tab or click "Clear All", the files are wiped from memory. Nothing is stored on our servers β because your files never reach our servers in the first place.
Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?
Yes β completely free, no signup, no watermark, no limits on daily conversions. Brought to you by Endeavour Marketing, a digital marketing agency in Pune, India.
