Why does the first conversion take a moment?

The HEIC decoder is about 3 MB and downloads on first use. After that it's cached and conversions are fast.

Will the JPG look as good as the original?

JPG is lossy, but the conversion runs at the highest quality setting, so photos look the same for everyday use. Need a pixel-perfect, lossless copy? Convert HEIC to PNG instead.

Can I convert several images at once?

Yes. Drop as many HEIC files as you like and they convert in one pass. Download them one by one or grab the whole set as a single zip. There's no fixed limit beyond your device's memory.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding and encoding run entirely in your browser, so the images never leave your device. There's no upload, no account, and no watermark.

What happens to transparency in the original?

JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are composited onto a white background. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG instead.

Does it keep Live Photo motion or the audio?

No. A JPG holds a single still frame, so the motion clip and any audio attached to a Live Photo are not carried over.

What if a file fails to convert?

Files that aren't valid HEIC/HEIF are skipped, and the summary shows how many were skipped. The rest still convert normally.

HEIC to JPG

Decodes iPhone HEIC photos and re-encodes them as lossy JPG that anything can open.

What this does

This decodes each HEIC/HEIF image in the browser and re-encodes the pixels as a standard JPG at the highest quality setting. HEIC stores photos with HEVC compression that many apps can't open; JPG is read everywhere.

JPG can't store transparency, so any transparent areas are flattened onto a white background. JPG is also a lossy format, so the re-encode adds a small amount of compression, and motion data from Live Photos is dropped since a still JPG holds only one frame.
