How to convert HEIC to JPG
Drop your HEIC files above or click to select them from your computer or phone. The converter processes each photo in your browser using the heic2any library and downloads the JPG automatically. Multiple files convert in one batch — no need to do them one by one.
Why do iPhones use HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple switched to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) in iOS 11 because HEIC files are about 50% smaller than equivalent quality JPEG photos. This saves storage on your iPhone. The downside is that Windows, older Android devices, and many web apps don't natively open HEIC files — converting to JPG makes photos universally compatible.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Open toolchop.com/convert-heic-to-jpg in Chrome or Edge on Windows. Drag your HEIC files onto the upload area and click Download for each converted JPG. No software installation needed — the converter runs in your browser.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Mac?
On Mac, you can use this tool in any browser, or use Preview: open the HEIC file in Preview → File → Export → change format to JPEG → Save. Both methods take under 30 seconds.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG without losing quality?
ToolChop converts at 92% JPEG quality by default — visually lossless for the vast majority of photos. You can adjust the quality slider before converting. At 90%+, the difference between HEIC and the output JPG is imperceptible.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes — drop multiple HEIC files at once and all convert in one batch. Each photo downloads as a separate JPG. Tested with batches of 50+ photos.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device and are not stored anywhere.
Why can't Windows open HEIC files?
Windows doesn't include HEIC support by default. You can install the HEIC codec from the Microsoft Store, or simply convert to JPG using this tool — JPG opens in every image viewer on every platform.
How do I stop iPhone from taking HEIC photos?
Go to Settings → Camera → Formats → choose "Most Compatible." This makes your iPhone shoot in JPG instead of HEIC. Note: existing photos already taken in HEIC need to be converted separately.
