How to use this tool
- Choose a supported HEIC photo.
- Wait for decoding and check the orientation and colors.
- Select output quality and download the JPG.
Understand the result
HEIC files can contain image data and metadata that are not represented in a simple JPG. The conversion produces a still image. Keep the original for features or information that the exported copy does not retain.
How do I use an iPhone photo in a JPG-only form?
Choose the original supported HEIC file and convert it to JPG, then inspect the downloaded picture. If the receiving site also rejects its dimensions or size, resize or compress that JPG. Renaming .heic to .jpg alone does not convert the image.
Why can a HEIC file fail to convert?
HEIC files can contain features that this browser converter does not support. Try a smaller still image or export a JPEG copy from the source photo app. Live-photo behavior and depth information are not recreated in a JPG; keep the original if you need those features.
Try a sample
Try a sample with the tool above, then inspect the output before using your own files.

The photo will not decode or its colors change.
Some HEIC variants and HDR or depth features are not retained. Export a standard JPEG from the device that created the photo when browser decoding fails. Keep the HEIC original for editing.

Frequently asked questions
Will a Live Photo stay animated?
No. A JPG is a still image. Motion content associated with a Live Photo is outside this converter's first-release scope.
Why might colors look different?
HDR and color-profile handling can differ between decoders and displays. Check the output and retain the original when color accuracy matters.
