Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG on Windows
iPhones save photos as HEIC to halve the file size. Windows, many websites and most portals still expect JPG, and the Microsoft Store extension does not always help.
Quick answer. Open Image Converter in Chrome or Edge, drop the HEIC files (up to 50 at a time), choose JPG and press Convert. You get a ZIP of JPGs that open anywhere. The conversion happens on your PC inside the browser, so the photos are never uploaded.

Step by step
- Copy the HEIC files from the iPhone, or AirDrop / WhatsApp them to yourself.
- Open Image Converter and drop all the HEIC files at once.
- Choose JPG (or PNG if you need transparency), set quality 85 to 90, press Convert.
- Download the ZIP. Originals stay untouched.
Tips that save a second attempt
- To stop the problem at the source: iPhone Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible saves JPG from then on.
- Need smaller files for e-mail or a listing site? Convert to WebP instead, or run the JPGs through the Image Compressor.
- Live Photos convert as a single still frame; the short video part is dropped.
Frequently asked questions
Does conversion lose quality?
At quality 90 the difference is invisible. HEIC and JPG are both lossy formats; converting once at a high setting is safe.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome, Edge or Safari on Android and iPhone. Very large batches are faster on a laptop.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
