or choose files — batches welcome

🔒 Everything happens in your browser tab. Disconnect from the internet and it still works.

Why DropHEIC instead of an online converter?

🔒 Truly private

Online converters upload your photos to their servers. DropHEIC converts them locally with WebAssembly — private photos stay private.

📦 Real batch support

Drop hundreds of files. Watch the progress bar, then grab one ZIP. No "10 conversions per day" paywalls.

⚡ Fast & free

A 12-megapixel iPhone photo converts in about a second. Free, no account, no watermarks.

🖼 WebP & AVIF too

Saved an image from a website and it's .webp or .avif? Convert it to JPG the same way.

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Drop your photos into the box above (or click to browse). HEIC, HEIF, WebP and AVIF are supported.
  2. Pick JPG or PNG and adjust quality if you like — 90 is great for most photos.
  3. Click Convert, then download files one by one or all at once as a ZIP.

Keep the converter one click away in your toolbar — no need to find this page again. Same engine, same privacy: everything stays on your device.

FAQ

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. You can turn off Wi-Fi after loading the page and it keeps working. There are no analytics scripts on this page either.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?

Since iOS 11, iPhones use HEIC because it halves file size at the same quality. That's great for storage but bad for compatibility: Windows needs a paid codec, many websites and older apps reject HEIC uploads.

Does converting reduce quality?

JPG at quality 90 is visually indistinguishable from the original for photos. If you need pixel-perfect output, choose PNG (lossless, larger files).

Is there a file size or count limit?

No hard limits — it's your computer doing the work. Hundreds of photos in one batch are fine; very large batches just take a little longer.

What about EXIF data (date, location)?

Converted files currently don't carry over EXIF metadata (that also means location data is stripped — some see that as a privacy plus). Optional EXIF retention is coming in a future update.
