Can I convert HEIC to JPG without losing quality?

JPG is a lossy format, but our default quality setting (85) keeps the result visually identical to the original. Turn quality up in the options for maximum detail, or down for a smaller file.

Does JPG keep the transparent background of my HEIC?

No - JPG has no transparency, so see-through areas get a solid fill. That's white unless you pick another background color in the options.

Can I batch convert HEIC to JPG?

Yes. Add up to 30 HEIC files and convert them in one batch. You can even choose a different output format for individual files, then download them separately or together as a ZIP.

Is it safe to upload HEIC files to ConvertPixels?

Yes. Uploads use an encrypted connection and are processed automatically - nobody views them. Your originals are deleted straight after conversion and the results within an hour, or instantly if you click "Delete from server now".

HEIC to JPG

Why convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC and JPG are both lossy formats. JPG is supported almost everywhere; HEIC isn't. HEIC can have a transparent background, JPG can't.

Works on every device

Plenty of apps and websites can't read HEIC (Safari only; Windows needs an extension). A JPG copy opens on any phone, tablet, computer or browser, so you can view, upload or send the picture without hunting for special software.

Where JPG works best

JPG is ideal for photos, sharing, email, social media. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for JPG.

What is an HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It's Apple's flavor of the HEIF standard, compressed with the same HEVC technology used for 4K video.

A HEIC photo takes about half the space of a JPG at the same quality and can store extras like Live Photo frames and depth data. The catch is compatibility: Windows, many Android apps and most upload forms can't open it.

How to open an HEIC file

iPhone, iPad and Mac open HEIC natively. On Windows 10 or 11, install the free HEIF Image Extensions (and, on some PCs, the HEVC Video Extensions) from the Microsoft Store. Recent Android phones can view HEIC in their gallery. Anywhere else, convert it to JPG.

What is a JPG file?

JPG (also written JPEG, from the Joint Photographic Experts Group that created it in 1992) is the most widely used photo format in the world. Phones, cameras, websites, email and social networks all handle it.

JPG uses lossy compression: it discards fine detail your eye barely notices, which makes photos 5-10 times smaller than an uncompressed copy. The trade-off is that every re-save loses a little more detail, and it can't store a transparent background.

How to open a JPG file

Every device opens JPG files out of the box: Photos on Windows and Mac, the Photos or Gallery app on iPhone and Android, and any web browser. To edit one, use Photoshop, GIMP, Canva or the free tools on ConvertPixels.

Extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif
