Choose your HEIC photos
Select or drop up to 20 HEIC or HEIF still images. File contents are checked, so a renamed JPG or video is not treated as a HEIC photo.

Turn still HEIC or HEIF photos into shareable JPG images without sending them to a processing server. Choose JPEG quality and convert several iPhone photos in one local batch.
Choose still HEIC or HEIF photos. Convert a batch locally, review the results, and download individually or as a ZIP.

Single still photos only. Image sequences and collections with multiple independent images are rejected. The HEIC decoder applies supported image rotation and mirroring; review the preview before downloading.
Outputs are standard 8-bit images. Camera metadata, GPS tags, depth data, HDR information and Live Photo motion are not copied. Keep your originals. Converted files are limited to 200 MB in total per batch; download and clear results before processing more.
The decoder is downloaded from this site on first conversion. Your photos stay on your device. Decoder license and source information.
Local processing
The HEIC decoder loads from this site when you begin converting. It reads and decodes your photos in a background browser worker; selected files and converted images are not uploaded or saved by BrowserPine.

Select or drop up to 20 HEIC or HEIF still images. File contents are checked, so a renamed JPG or video is not treated as a HEIC photo.
Start with quality 90, or adjust the setting for your file-size needs. White is the default background if a photo contains transparent pixels.
Start conversion, review the output dimensions and previews, then download individual JPGs or one ZIP containing successful results. Stop conversion at any time while a photo is processing.
HEIC is a common format for iPhone photos. Some forms, document editors and older devices accept JPG but not HEIC. Converting creates a compatible image; changing the filename extension alone does not.
JPG and JPEG name the same image format. The converter produces .jpg files that you can use in presentations, attach to messages or convert into a PDF with the related JPG to PDF tool.
JPEG is lossy even at quality 100. Higher quality can retain more visible detail but does not guarantee a smaller file than the HEIC source. Compare the preview and output size before removing any originals.
The decoder applies supported HEIF rotation, mirroring and cropping. Results are standard 8-bit images; original HDR information, camera metadata, GPS tags, depth data and Live Photo motion are not copied. Conversion does not improve the original photo quality.
Choose up to 20 files, 25 MB per file and 100 MB of input per queue. Photos are processed one at a time. Images must stay within 40 megapixels and 16,384 pixels on either side; generated results are limited to 200 MB in total.
Only single still images are supported. Image sequences and collections containing multiple independent photos are rejected instead of silently discarding images. A corrupt or unsupported file gets its own error, while other files can still convert.
Common questions
Yes. Photos are processed locally in your browser. Only the converter code is downloaded; your selected files are not sent to a processing server.
Yes, in a current browser that supports WebAssembly, Web Workers and OffscreenCanvas. The tool supplies its own HEIC decoder and does not require installing a system HEIC codec.
Yes. Queue up to 20 files within the displayed size limits, convert sequentially, and download successful results individually or together in a ZIP.
No. The output is a still JPG. Original metadata, GPS tags, HDR information, depth data and Live Photo motion are not copied. Keep the HEIC originals if you need those features.
The file may contain an unsupported codec, multiple independent images, an image sequence, damaged data or dimensions above the safety limits. HEIF is a container family; not every variant is a supported still HEIC photo.
JPG is usually the more practical choice for sharing photographs and controlling file size. PNG avoids another lossy encoding step and can preserve decoded transparency, but photo files can become much larger.
