This converter needs JavaScript, because the conversion runs on your device rather than on a server.

This conversion keeps most of what makes HEIC appealing. WebP is nearly as efficient, so the converted file stays close to the original in size rather than ballooning the way a JPG or PNG would, and every current browser can display it. The trade is that WebP remains awkward outside the browser, so choose JPG instead if the photo is destined for desktop software or a print service.

About HEIC files

HEIC has been the default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 in 2017, and it stores roughly the same image quality as JPG in about half the space. That efficiency comes at the cost of compatibility: Windows needs a paid codec extension from the Microsoft Store, most Android devices cannot open it, and a great many websites reject it on upload. This single compatibility gap is why HEIC to JPG is one of the most-searched conversions on the web.

Where they come from: Photos taken on an iPhone or iPad running iOS 11 or later.

Drawbacks of HEIC

Windows requires a paid codec extension to view it
Rejected by many websites, forms, and print services
Patent-encumbered HEVC licensing limits adoption

Why convert to WebP?

WebP was released by Google in 2010 to cut image weight on the web, and it does: it typically produces files 25–35% smaller than an equivalent-quality JPG. It supports both lossy and lossless modes, full transparency, and animation, making it the one format that covers everything JPG, PNG, and GIF do individually. Its weakness is not technical but social — plenty of desktop software still refuses to open it.

Substantially smaller than JPG at matching quality
Handles transparency and animation
Supported by every current browser

Support: All modern browsers. Poor support outside the browser.

Common questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processor. Your HEIC file is never transmitted, never stored, and never seen by us — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Is there a file size or daily limit?

There is no daily limit and no account required. Because your device does the work rather than our server, we have no per-conversion cost to recover. The practical ceiling is your device's available memory — very large files on older phones may fail, in which case convert them in smaller batches.

Can I convert several HEIC files at once?

Yes. Select or drop as many HEIC files as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as individual downloads or a single ZIP.

Why will Windows not open my HEIC files?

Windows does not ship with the HEVC codec that HEIC depends on, and Microsoft charges for the extension that adds it. Converting to WebP sidesteps the problem entirely — no codec, no purchase, no software to install.
