How to Convert HEIC to JPG
Vizua is a free HEIC to JPG converter that works entirely in your browser. Drop your Apple HEIC photos, adjust quality if needed, and download standard JPG files compatible with every device and platform. No software to install, no files uploaded to any server.
Apple iPhones save photos in HEIC format by default since iOS 11. While HEIC produces excellent quality at small file sizes, it isn't supported everywhere — Windows Photo Viewer, many Android apps, WordPress, and countless web services can't open HEIC files. Converting to JPG solves this compatibility problem instantly.
Why iPhones Use HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) uses Apple's efficient compression to store photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG with equivalent visual quality. This saves significant storage on your phone — a 12MP iPhone photo is typically 1-3 MB in HEIC versus 3-7 MB in JPEG. Apple chose HEIC as the default to help users store more photos without running out of space.
HEIC to JPG on Windows, Mac, and Mobile
- Windows — no need to install the HEIF Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Just open Vizua in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and convert directly
- Mac — Preview can convert HEIC, but Vizua is faster for batches and keeps your files private (no iCloud sync)
- iPhone / Android — open Vizua in your mobile browser, tap to select HEIC files from your camera roll, and download JPGs
Batch Conversion
Transferring an entire photo album from iPhone? Drop all your HEIC files at once — Vizua converts them in parallel and provides a ZIP download with all JPGs. There is no limit on the number of files. Each conversion takes about 1-2 seconds per photo depending on your device.
Quality Settings
The quality slider controls the JPEG output compression. At 80-85%, your converted photos will look virtually identical to the HEIC originals while producing standard, universally compatible JPG files. Lower the quality to 60-70% if you need the smallest possible file size for email or web use.
100% Private — No Upload
Your photos never leave your device. Vizua converts HEIC to JPG entirely within your browser. No image data is transmitted to any server. This is especially important for personal photos — unlike cloud-based converters, Vizua gives you complete privacy. The tool even works offline after the first page load.

What is the HEIC format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG with equivalent visual quality. The downside is limited compatibility — Windows, Android, and many web apps don't support HEIC natively, which is why conversion to JPG is so common.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Use Vizua — open this page in any browser on Windows, drop your HEIC files, and download JPGs. No need to install the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store or any third-party software. Vizua converts HEIC directly in your browser.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files to JPG at once?
Yes. Drop as many HEIC files as you need — Vizua converts them all in parallel and lets you download each JPG individually or as a ZIP archive. This is especially useful when transferring an entire photo album from iPhone to a Windows or Android device.
Is it safe to convert HEIC files online?
With Vizua, yes — your photos never leave your device. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Unlike most online converters that upload your files to a server, Vizua processes everything locally. You can disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.
