Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I open HEIC files on my Windows PC?

HEIC is an Apple format that requires special codecs on Windows. Windows 10 and 11 can view HEIC files after installing the HEIF Image Extensions from Microsoft Store, but converting to JPG is often easier for universal compatibility.

Is this HEIC to JPG converter free?

Yes, absolutely! Our HEIC to JPG converter is completely free with no limitations on file size, number of conversions, or features. No registration or payment required.

Are my HEIC photos uploaded to a server?

No! All image conversions happen locally in your browser using the heic2any library. Your photos never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. This also means the tool works offline once loaded.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

Our converter maintains 92% JPG quality, which is considered high quality for web and print use. While there may be a slight file size increase compared to HEIC, the visual quality remains excellent. Learn more about JPEG compression.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Currently, the converter processes one image at a time for optimal quality and performance. However, you can quickly convert multiple images by using the "Clear" button after each conversion.

How do I stop my iPhone from taking HEIC photos?

On your iPhone, go to Settings → Camera → Formats, and select "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency". This will save photos as JPG instead of HEIC. However, HEIC offers better compression, so converting when needed might be more efficient. You might also want to check our JPG to PNG converter for other format needs.
