HEIC to JPG Converter

How to use

Drop one or more HEIC files into the box above, or click to choose files. Each file converts in your browser, then a Download button appears. You can drop multiple files at once for batch conversion. Adjust the output format (JPG or PNG) and JPG quality before dropping files.

What is HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality, which saves storage on your phone. The downside: most non-Apple devices and many websites don't support HEIC, so when you share photos with someone on Windows or Android, they can't open them. Converting to JPG fixes that.

Why qixapp HEIC converter

Most online HEIC converters upload your photos to a server. Your private photos pass through someone else's computer. This one doesn't. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using a JavaScript library that decodes HEIC files locally. We never see your photos, can't see them, and have no way to access them. Plus there's no signup, no email, no watermark, and no file size limits beyond what your browser can handle.

Why is my JPG larger than the original HEIC?

HEIC is more efficient than JPG. A 2 MB HEIC photo often converts to a 3 MB JPG at the same visual quality. This is normal and expected. If file size matters, lower the JPG quality slider, or use the JPG file briefly and delete it once you've shared or saved the converted version.

FAQ

Does it work on multiple files at once? Yes. Drop as many HEIC files as you want and they'll convert one by one. Each gets its own download button. There's also a "Download all" button when batch is complete.

Why do conversions take a few seconds each? Decoding HEIC requires a substantial codec running in your browser. Most conversions take 1-5 seconds per file depending on photo size and your device speed. Phones may be slower than laptops.

Are EXIF data and timestamps preserved? No. The current converter produces clean JPG files without metadata. If you need EXIF preservation, that's coming in a future update.

Does it work offline? The page works offline once loaded, but the conversion library is fetched on first use. After your first conversion, it's cached and available offline.
