Convert HEIC to JPEG
HEIC is the format an iPhone uses by default, storing photos at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG. Converting it to JPEG gives you a file suited to photographs, camera output and images on the web.

About the formats
About HEIC
HEIC is the format an iPhone uses by default, storing photos at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG. It is normally used for photos taken on an iPhone or iPad. Support outside Apple devices is patchy, which is the usual reason for converting one.
About JPEG
JPEG compresses photographs by discarding detail the eye is least likely to notice, which makes photo files small. It is normally used for photographs, camera output and images on the web. It cannot store transparency, and every re-save discards a little more detail.
What to expect
- Transparent areas become white, because JPEG has no transparency.
What happens to your file
Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted connection, converted there, and deleted as soon as the download has been sent. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers, converted, and deleted once your download has been sent.
Does converting HEIC to JPEG reduce quality?
Both formats compress by discarding detail, so re-encoding loses a little more. Converting once is fine; repeatedly converting the same file back and forth is what degrades it.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPEG has no transparency, so transparent pixels are composited onto a white background rather than turning black. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG instead.
