//how_it_works
How It Works
Drop your HEIC photos
Drag and drop or select HEIC/HEIF files from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can add multiple files at once for batch conversion.
HEVC decoding in browser
The heic2any library decodes the HEVC-compressed image data entirely in your browser. No server upload — your photos stay on your device.
Render and export as JPG
The decoded image is rendered on a Canvas element and exported as a JPG at 92% quality — preserving virtually all visible detail while keeping file sizes reasonable.
Download your JPGs
Grab your converted files individually or download all at once. Your original HEIC files are never modified.
// under the hood
HEIC uses the HEVC (H.265) codec for image compression, achieving ~50% better compression than JPG at the same quality. Our converter decodes HEIC using the heic2any library in your browser, renders it to a Canvas element, and exports as JPG at 92% quality using the Canvas toBlob API. No EXIF data is preserved in the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is HEIC format?
- HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It offers better compression than JPG while maintaining image quality, but isn't universally supported across all devices and platforms.
- Why convert HEIC to JPG?
- JPG is the most widely supported image format. Converting HEIC to JPG ensures your photos can be viewed on any device, uploaded to any website, and shared with anyone — without compatibility issues.
- Is it safe to convert files here?
- Yes. Your files never leave your device. All conversion happens directly in your browser using client-side technology. We don't upload, store, or have access to your files at any point.
- What's the maximum file size?
- There's no hard limit, but very large files (50MB+) may take longer to process since conversion happens in your browser. For best performance, we recommend files under 30MB.
- Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
- We use a high quality setting (92%) for JPG conversion, which preserves virtually all visible detail. The resulting file will be slightly larger than the HEIC original, but the quality difference is imperceptible to the human eye.
