HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads running iOS 11 or later. It produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality, but many Windows programs, Android devices, and websites cannot open HEIC files directly.

How do I convert HEIC to JPG without uploading my photos?

Use AllConvert. Drop your HEIC file onto the page, pick JPG, and click Convert. The entire process runs in your browser using a small open-source decoder library. Your photos are never uploaded to any server.

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

There is a small amount of recompression since JPG is a lossy format. AllConvert uses 92% quality, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for photographs. The resulting JPG will be compatible with virtually every device and application.

iPhones save photos in HEIC format by default. It is a great format for saving storage space, but it causes problems when you try to open those photos on a Windows PC, share them on a website, or attach them to an email. AllConvert turns HEIC files into universally compatible JPGs, entirely in your browser.

Why won't my HEIC photos open?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. While it offers excellent compression, support outside the Apple ecosystem is still patchy. Many Windows programs, email clients, and social media platforms expect JPG. Converting to JPG gives you a file that works everywhere.

How does the conversion work?

When you drop a HEIC file onto AllConvert, a small open-source decoder library (about 1 MB) loads in your browser the first time. It decodes the HEIC data into raw pixel data, which is then re-encoded as a JPG at 92% quality. The entire process runs on your device. Your photos are never sent to a server, making it completely private and safe.
