How it works
- Drop your HEIC files or the folder from your iPhone.
- JPG is already selected. Adjust the quality if you need to.
- Apply it and download a JPG, or a ZIP for several photos.
Why your iPhone photos are in HEIC
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because the files are much smaller than JPG at similar quality. The catch is compatibility: many Windows apps, older software and upload forms cannot open them. JPG solves this, at the cost of slightly larger files.
A converter that never sees your photos
Phone photos are personal, and most online converters ask you to send them to their server first. Here the conversion happens on your device. The HEIC decoder is downloaded the first time it is needed, and after that nothing about your photos leaves the browser.
To get JPG directly from your iPhone
If you want future photos in JPG, open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. This does not change the photos you already took, which is where a converter helps.
Questions
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?
Drop the HEIC files on this page and apply. You do not need to install a codec or any other software.
Can I convert many HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Drop several files or a whole folder. Sub-folders are kept in the output. Free batches hold up to 10 images.
Does converting lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so a very small amount of detail is lost. At the default quality of 90, the difference is hard to see in normal viewing. Raise the quality if you plan to edit the photos further.
Is the location of my photos kept?
No. The JPG files do not include EXIF data, so GPS position and camera details are removed. Keep your originals if you need that information.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The image is decoded and processed by your browser, on your device. FolderPix has no upload endpoint at all, and the site tells browsers to refuse connections to other servers. You can check it in the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools, or by going offline once the page has loaded.
