How to convert HEIC photos to JPG on Windows, Android or Mac
iPhone photos saved as HEIC will not open or upload everywhere. Convert them to JPG in your browser, in bulk, without uploading.
Quick answer
Open HEIC to JPG, choose one or many photos, pick the quality and download. Many photos come back as a ZIP.
Why HEIC causes trouble
HEIC is the default iPhone photo format. It is efficient, but many websites, older Windows versions and some Android apps cannot open or accept it, so uploads fail.
Steps
- Open HEIC to JPG.
- Add your photos, one or many.
- Pick the quality and convert.
- Download the JPGs, or the ZIP for a batch.
Avoid the problem on iPhone
In Settings → Camera → Formats choose Most Compatible. New photos will be saved as JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Is quality lost?
