Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to Standard JPEG

Apple iPhones and iPads take photos in High Efficiency Image Format (.HEIC/.HEIF) by default. While HEIC saves space on iOS, Windows PCs, Android phones, and online upload portals frequently refuse to open HEIC files.

Our client-side HEIC to JPG converter decodes HEVC-encoded iOS photos locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Convert iPhone photos to standard JPEGs with zero server uploads and complete privacy.
