HEIF to JPG

How to convert HEIF to JPG

1. Open: drag your .heif photos onto the box above or tap Choose files — on Android you can pick from Gallery or Files.
2. Set quality: 92 is visually identical to the original; lower it for smaller files.
3. Convert: photos convert one by one on your device.
4. Download: save each JPG, or press Download all for a ZIP.

HEIF vs HEIC — what's the difference?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is the container standard; HEIC is the name Apple uses for HEIF files whose images are compressed with HEVC. In practice the two extensions hold the same kind of photo, and any tool that reads one reads the other. You see .heif most often on Samsung Galaxy phones with “High efficiency pictures” switched on, on some Google Pixel and Xiaomi models, and on cameras such as recent Sony, Canon and Fujifilm bodies that offer HEIF as a smaller alternative to JPEG. The format saves storage — about half the size of a JPG — but shares HEIC's compatibility problems: Windows needs paid codecs, most browsers can't display it, and many upload forms refuse it. Converting to JPG makes the photo universal. This page decodes HEIF in your browser, so it works on Windows, Chromebooks and Android without installing anything, and your photos stay private.

Your photos stay on your device

Phone photos carry more than pixels: location, time, device model and sometimes faces of people who never agreed to be uploaded anywhere. This converter reads each HEIF file inside your browser, draws it to a canvas and saves a fresh JPG. The original never travels over the network, and the output contains only the image — not the metadata.

• No upload, no account, no watermark, no daily limit.
• Full resolution kept on computers; rotation applied.
• GPS location and EXIF data not copied.
• Works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Built-in ways to deal with HEIF

Depending on your device, you may be able to avoid HEIF or convert it without a website.

HEIF to JPG methods compared

Quality, size and what isn't kept

Converting decodes the HEIF and re-encodes the pixels as JPEG. At quality 92 the result is visually the same. The file will be larger than the HEIF because JPEG is less efficient. Some HEIF files hold extra items — burst sequences, depth maps or a thumbnail — but the converter takes the primary image, which is what every viewer shows. Motion photos keep their still image; the short video part is not part of JPEG.
