How to Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to JPG (When They Won't Open on Windows)
iPhone photos arriving as HEIC and refusing to open? Convert them to JPG or PNG — dozens at once, inside your browser, without uploading them anywhere.
You copy photos from an iPhone to a Windows PC and they turn out to be HEIC — no preview, and the site you're uploading to only takes JPG. iPhones shoot HEIC by default to save storage; when you need compatibility, converting to JPG is the simplest fix.
Dozens at once — three steps
- 1Open the HEIC converter and drag your photos in — a whole batch is fine.
- 2Pick the output format (JPG or PNG) and the quality.
- 3Download the converted photos one by one, or all at once.
TipKeep quality high when fidelity matters; lower it when size matters (say, for messaging). If you need lossless — scanned documents, for instance — choose PNG.
Your photos are not uploaded
Family photos and ID shots are not things you want on a stranger's server. This conversion runs inside your browser, so the photos never leave your device — and once the page is open, it works even offline.
Want your iPhone to shoot JPG in the first place?
Settings → Camera → Formats → "Most Compatible" makes future shots save as JPG. The trade-off is larger files, so many people keep shooting HEIC and convert only when needed.
