Convert HEIC to JPG
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into universally compatible JPGs — hundreds at a time, entirely on your own PC. No uploads, no subscriptions.
TL;DR
Install the free HEIC Converter trial, drag in your .heic photos (or a whole folder), choose JPG, and convert. Hundreds of photos become standard JPGs in seconds, and every file stays on your machine.
How to convert HEIC to JPG — step by step
Install HEIC Converter (free trial)
Get it from the Microsoft Store or download the offline installer for Windows 10/11. The trial converts up to 15 photos with every feature enabled.
Add your HEIC photos or a whole folder
Drag in individual .heic and .heif files, or point the app at a folder — it scans subfolders recursively and finds every photo.
Choose JPG as the output format
Select JPG (you can also output PNG, WebP, or PDF in the same run). Pick an output folder to keep your originals untouched.
Convert and review
Click Convert. Photos process locally in parallel — hundreds in seconds. Open the JPGs anywhere: Photos, the web, email, or a printer.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is Apple’s default iPhone photo format, but most of the world runs on JPG. Websites, printers, older Windows apps, email clients, and shared drives that reject a .heic file will happily accept a .jpg — so converting is the fastest way to make your photos work everywhere.
JPG is the universal photo format: every device, browser, and app made in the last 30 years opens it. Converting a folder of iPhone photos to JPG means never again hitting an "unsupported file" error when you upload, print, or share.
Private, unlike online HEIC converters
A "free online HEIC to JPG converter" means uploading your photos to someone else's server — and many of those sites' terms let them store your images or use them to train AI. HEIC Converter runs entirely on your Windows PC: your photos are converted locally and never leave your machine. It also handles hundreds of files in one batch, which no upload-one-file-at-a-time website can match.
The free trial converts up to 15 photos with every feature enabled — for most people that's the whole job. Larger libraries are covered by a one-time $19.95 lifetime license. No subscription, no watermarks, no uploads.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free way to convert HEIC to JPG?
Yes. The free trial of HEIC Converter converts up to 15 files with full features — no signup and no watermarks. For unlimited conversions, a lifetime license is a one-time $19.95 (no subscription).
Is this an online converter? Are my photos uploaded or used for AI training?
No. HEIC Converter is a Windows desktop app — every conversion runs 100% locally on your PC. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or used to train AI, unlike many "free" online converters whose terms allow exactly that.
Can I convert an entire folder of HEIC photos to JPG at once?
Yes. Drag in a folder (HEIC Converter scans subfolders recursively), choose JPG, and it batch-converts everything — hundreds of photos in seconds, processed in parallel.
Does it support HEIF files too, not just HEIC?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF are the same underlying format and share the .heic and .heif extensions. HEIC Converter opens and converts both.
Will converting HEIC to JPG lose image quality?
Any HEIC-to-JPG conversion re-encodes the image, but HEIC Converter uses high-quality JPG settings so the result is visually indistinguishable for photos. If you need a lossless copy, convert to PNG instead.
Why can’t Windows open my HEIC files without converting?
Windows only decodes HEIC if Microsoft’s HEVC codec (often a paid add-on) is installed, and even then support is patchy. Converting to JPG removes the dependency entirely — the photos just open.
