How do I open HEIC files on Windows without installing anything?

Convert them to JPG here. Open this page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, drop in the HEIC files and download the JPGs. Windows opens JPG natively, so no HEIF or HEVC extension is needed.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

Very little. JPG compresses a bit less efficiently than HEIC, but at the default 92% quality the difference isn't visible at normal sizes. Choose Best (95%) if you plan to edit or print the photo.

Why is the JPG bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC is roughly twice as efficient as JPG, so the same photo at similar quality takes more space as a JPG. If size matters, choose Smaller file (80%).

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. The page has no upload step, and the photos are gone from memory when you close the tab.

How many photos can I convert at once?

Up to 50 photos per batch, each up to 100 MB and 500 MB in total. Download the batch as a ZIP, then start another one.

Is HEIC to JPEG the same as HEIC to JPG?

Yes. JPG and JPEG are two names for the same format. The files this tool saves use the .jpg extension, which every app recognizes.

Why your HEIC photos won't open, and the quick fix

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because the format keeps the same detail at about half the size of a JPG. The catch is that plenty of places still can't read it: Windows Photos asks you to buy an extension, many upload forms reject it, and older apps show a blank thumbnail. JPG works everywhere, so converting is usually the fastest way to get a photo where it needs to go.

This converter decodes each HEIC on your own device and saves it as a standard JPG at 92% quality, which looks the same as the original at normal viewing sizes. You can convert up to 50 photos in one go and download them together as a ZIP. Want your iPhone to stop making HEIC in the first place? Open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible.

A HEIC converter that respects your photos

Batch-friendly, private, and free.

Nothing is uploaded

Decoding and encoding happen in your browser. Your photos never reach a server, which matters for IDs, documents and family pictures.

Convert a whole batch

Drop in up to 50 photos at once. Each one converts in turn, and you can download them individually or as a single ZIP.

Fixes HEIC on Windows

Skip the paid HEIF/HEVC extensions. Convert to JPG and the photos open in Windows Photos, Paint, Word and any web form.

Pick the quality

High (92%) is the default. Choose Best for archiving or Smaller file for email and upload limits.

Upright and full size

Rotation is applied, so portrait shots stay portrait. Photos keep their resolution, including 48 MP iPhone shots.

Location data removed

The JPG is a clean re-encode without EXIF data, so GPS coordinates and device details aren't passed along when you share it.
