# HEIC to JPG converter — iPhone photos, no upload

> Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG, PNG, or WebP in your browser: batch convert, choose quality, keep or strip EXIF. Decoded on your device, nothing uploaded.

Convert iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos to JPG, PNG, or WebP right in your browser — batch a whole folder, pick the quality, and keep or strip EXIF. The images are decoded on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

HEIC saves space on an iPhone but causes friction everywhere else: forms reject it, Windows needs a codec, and many sites won't accept it. Converting to JPG (or PNG/WebP) fixes compatibility in one step, and doing it in the browser means a folder of personal photos never gets uploaded to a converter site.

Batch conversion is the point — select everything from an export and get standard files back as a ZIP. The EXIF choice is a quiet privacy win: strip metadata when you're posting publicly, keep it when you're archiving.

After converting, edit in the Photo Editor, compress for the web with Compress image, or strip metadata explicitly with Remove EXIF.

## How to

1. **Add HEIC files.** Drop one or many .heic/.heif photos from your iPhone.
2. **Choose output.** Pick JPG, PNG, or WebP and set the quality.
3. **Handle EXIF.** Keep the photo's metadata or strip it for privacy.
4. **Download.** Save converted files individually or as a ZIP.

## FAQ

### Why won't my iPhone HEIC photos open on Windows or the web?

HEIC is Apple's efficient format that many apps and sites still don't support. Converting to JPG (or PNG/WebP) makes the photos open and upload anywhere.

### Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop a whole batch and convert them in one pass, then download them together as a ZIP.

### Does converting strip my location data?

Only if you choose to. You can preserve EXIF (including GPS) or strip it during conversion — handy when you want to share a photo without revealing where it was taken.

### Are my photos uploaded to convert them?

No. HEIC decoding and re-encoding run in your browser tab, so your photos never leave the device — which matters for personal images.
