About HEIC to JPG
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. While HEIC files are roughly half the size of JPGs at the same quality — saving significant storage space on your device — many websites, apps, email clients, and devices still do not support them. Windows PCs, older Android devices, most social media upload forms, and many photo printing services cannot open HEIC files, which makes sharing iPhone photos frustrating. This tool converts your HEIC photos to the universally compatible JPG format instantly — no upload to any server, no sign-up, no waiting. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API and the heic2any library. Your photos stay on your device the entire time, ensuring complete privacy for personal and sensitive images. You can adjust the output quality to balance file size and visual fidelity, and batch convert multiple photos at once. Whether you are preparing iPhone photos for a website, sharing vacation pictures with family members on non-Apple devices, uploading product photos to an e-commerce platform, or simply need a format that works everywhere, this tool handles the conversion in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It offers roughly 50% better compression than JPG while maintaining similar quality.
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
There is minimal quality loss when converting to JPG. You can adjust the quality slider to balance file size and visual fidelity — 85-90% quality is usually indistinguishable from the original.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. You can drag and drop multiple HEIC files and they will all be converted. Each file is processed independently in your browser.
Why can't I open HEIC files on my PC?
Windows doesn't natively support HEIC without installing the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Converting to JPG is the quickest way to make your iPhone photos viewable everywhere.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Transmute processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device — there is no server, no upload, no cloud processing.
