Quick guide
How it works How to Convert HEIC to JPG in Your Browser
-
Export the photo from iPhone
Open the Photos app, select the image, then use Share > Save to Files or send it to yourself. On iOS, you can choose a compatible format so the result is JPG. Changing the camera setting to Most Compatible also makes new photos JPG directly.
-
Open the exported JPG
Choose the JPG file in the conversion tool. If you have a HEIC file and your browser supports it, try opening it directly; if it fails, use the export path above. Make sure the photo is not upside down after loading.
-
Save as JPG and check
Download the result, then open it on Windows, Android, or the target app. For photos you plan to send, compress the JPG if it is still too large.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why can a HEIC file not open in a browser?
HEIC uses a codec that is not always available in desktop browsers. Safari and some systems may support it, but Chrome on Windows generally does not support it directly yet.
Does converting HEIC to JPG remove metadata?
Often metadata such as location and camera settings is not preserved. This can help privacy, but keep the original file if that data is important.
Does a Live Photo change too?
Only the main photo frame is exported as an image. The motion and sound in a Live Photo will not carry over to the JPG.
Can I convert many photos at once?
This tool processes one photo per session. For many photos, repeat the same steps or use the bulk export feature in the iPhone Photos app.
