How to Convert HEIC to JPG (Free & Without Installing Anything)

January 10, 2026 ยท 4 min read

What is HEIC?

HEIC is the default photo format used by iPhones since iOS 11. It produces smaller file sizes than JPG while maintaining quality โ€” great for storage, but a headache when sharing.

Why Convert HEIC to JPG?

Most Windows computers, older Android devices, and many websites don't support HEIC. JPG works everywhere.

Common reasons:

  • Sharing photos with non-iPhone users
  • Uploading to websites that only accept JPG/PNG
  • Editing in software that doesn't support HEIC
  • Printing at photo labs

How to Convert HEIC to JPG Online

With FileConvert, conversion happens entirely in your browser โ€” your files are never uploaded:

1. Go to FileConvert HEIC to JPG

2. Click "Choose File" or drag and drop your HEIC file

3. Click "Convert"

4. Download your JPG instantly

No sign-up, no waiting, no privacy concerns.

Will Quality Be Lost?

Some minimal quality loss may occur since both formats use lossy compression. For everyday use โ€” sharing on WhatsApp, posting on Instagram โ€” the difference is invisible.

Tips

  • The output JPG preserves the original resolution
  • Works on any device: Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone (via browser)
  • No file size limits
