If your iPhone is set to High Efficiency mode, every photo it takes is saved as HEIC — a format Windows PCs, older Android phones, and many websites simply can't open. Emailing a HEIC to someone on a PC usually ends with a confused reply asking what the file is. Converting to JPG solves it instantly: JPG opens everywhere, on everything.
The usual fix is an online converter, but that means uploading personal photos to a stranger's server. The faymox HEIC converter does the decoding and re-encoding inside your browser with WebAssembly, so your photos never leave your device. Batch conversion is supported, so you can drop a whole camera roll's worth at once.
Convert HEIC to JPG in 3 steps
- Open the faymox HEIC Converter in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
- Drag in your
.heicfiles, or click to browse. You can add many files at once for batch conversion. - Choose JPG as the output format, hit convert, and download the results. Each JPG is ready to open, edit, or share anywhere.
FAQ
Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
JPG compression is lossier than HEIC, so at the same visual quality the file may be a touch larger or slightly softer. For viewing and sharing, the difference is invisible. Keep your original HEICs archived if you need pixel-perfect copies.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG instead?
Yes — the same tool converts HEIC to JPG, PNG, or WebP. PNG is the pick when you want lossless quality; WebP gives the smallest files for the web.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool handles typical phone photos easily, including large multi-megapixel shots. Very large batches are processed one file at a time in your browser, so the only real limit is your device's memory.
