What is the HEIC to JPG Converter?
A HEIC to JPG converter turns Apple’s High Efficiency Image Container photos into universally compatible JPEG files. iPhones save photos as .heic by default since iOS 11; many Windows apps, websites and upload forms still can’t open them. AnyShift decodes HEIC in your browser, lets you set JPG quality, and converts dozens of photos at once with a ZIP download.
Images are converted inside your browser — nothing is uploaded, so it works for private photos and client work.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Drop one or more .heic / .heif photos.
- Adjust JPG quality if you want smaller files (90% is a good default).
- Wait a second per photo while they convert.
- Download each JPG or all of them as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
At 90–95% quality the difference is invisible. JPG files are usually 1.5–2× larger than HEIC because JPEG compression is less efficient.
Can I stop my iPhone saving HEIC?
Yes: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. New photos will be JPG; existing ones stay HEIC.
Is EXIF data (date, location) kept?
The converted JPG contains the image only. Use Remove EXIF Metadata if you need to be sure no location data is shared.
How many photos can I convert at once?
As many as you like — they are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.
