[HEIC to JPG](https://edesy.in/tools/heic-to-jpg) converts iPhone photos to JPG (or PNG) so they open on Windows PCs, Android apps and upload forms. The conversion runs in your browser, so your photos are not uploaded.

## How to Use

1. Drop HEIC or HEIF photos onto the tool. Add as many as you like.
2. Choose the **Output format**: JPG (default) or PNG.
3. For JPG, set **JPG quality** (90% by default, 10-100%).
4. Click **Convert to JPG** (or **Convert to PNG**). Each photo shows its progress and a preview when done.
5. Click **Download** under a photo, or **Download all (ZIP)**.

## Things to know

- **Changing settings**: if you change the format or quality after converting, photos show "Settings changed: convert again". Click the convert button again to apply.
- **Metadata**: converted files do not keep the date taken, camera or location.
- **First run**: the converter (about 1.3 MB) downloads once the first time you convert.
- **PNG**: lossless but much larger than JPG. Use JPG for sharing and upload forms.
- **Privacy**: photos are converted on your device.

## Tips

- 90% JPG quality is fine for almost every use. Lower it only if a form has a strict size limit, or run the JPG through [Compress Image to Size](https://edesy.in/tools/compress-image-to-size).
- Each card shows the original size and the converted size, so you can check before downloading.
