HEICtoJPG
HEICtoJPG is a free, browser-based web tool that converts Apple HEIC and HEIF photos into standard JPEG files. According to its homepage, users can drag and drop up to 200 HEIC or HEIF images at once, and conversion starts automatically. Because the decoding runs inside the browser tab using an open-source HEIC decoder, the files are not uploaded to a remote server, and the working data is cleared when the tab is closed. The converter preserves the original pixel dimensions and orientation while re-encoding a standard JPEG, so no additional detail is added or cropped. Users can pick an output quality of 80%, 92% (the stated default) or 100%, trading file size against fidelity. Results can be downloaded one JPG at a time or, when several files are converted, as a single ZIP archive; a single failed file can reportedly be retried without restarting the whole batch. The tool targets the common friction point that iPhone and iPad devices save photos as HEIC to save space, while upload forms, Windows applications, printers and older image editors often refuse that format. It requires no account, adds no watermark, and positions itself as suitable for personal photos, IDs and client work given the local-only processing model. Conversion speed depends on the user's own hardware rather than on a server. The site states that HEIF is the container format, and HEIC typically refers to a HEIF image encoded with HEVC; both are decoded into .jpg output. The service is free and the homepage lists no GitHub repository, so implementation details such as the exact decoder library, licence and release history are not disclosed there.

Problem solved
Apple devices save photos in HEIC/HEIF, a format many upload forms, Windows applications, printers and older image editors cannot open. HEICtoJPG converts those files into universally compatible JPEGs directly in the browser, avoiding uploads of private photos and avoiding the need for desktop software or accounts.
Use cases
- Convert an iPhone photo library export from HEIC to JPG before uploading to a website form
- Batch convert up to 200 HEIC/HEIF files and download them as a single ZIP archive
- Prepare client or portfolio photos for apps that only accept JPEG
- Convert ID documents or personal photos without uploading them to a third-party server
- Re-encode HEIC screenshots for use in Windows software or older editors
- Produce smaller 80% quality JPEGs for faster uploads while keeping HEIC originals as an archive
