Why convert HEIC to JPEG?

iPhones save photos as HEIC, but only Safari shows HEIC in a browser. Windows needs extensions from the Microsoft Store, and many upload forms reject it. A JPEG opens everywhere, and converted here it usually comes out about half the size of the HEIC.

Why people use TinyPNG

Looks the same, weighs less

We remove detail you can't see, such as unused colors and hidden metadata. The image looks the same and the file is much smaller.

Free, no sign-up

Web Free converts 3 images per session without an account. Web Ultra has no conversion limit.

Trusted since 2012

Designers, developers, marketers and many more: millions of people use TinyPNG. Together they've shrunk over 9 billion images.

HEIC vs JPEG

HEIC saves space on your iPhone. JPEG is the format every app, shop and upload form accepts. Keep HEIC on the phone; use JPEG when you share, upload or open photos on Windows.

“While there are other ways to achieve a 70% reduction in image size, TinyPNG is the easiest and fastest method I’ve found. Plus, it doesn’t alter the image file names, which is great for maintaining SEO integrity.”

HEIC to JPEG: frequently asked questions

Do Live Photos keep their motion?

No. A Live Photo stores its motion in a separate .mov file, so the JPEG is a still image.

Can I convert HEIF files to JPEG?

Yes. We accept .heif files like .heic, as long as they hold HEVC or AV1 image data.

How much smaller will my JPEG be?

Usually about half the size of the HEIC you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Images that were already compressed save less.

Will my image lose quality?

The HEIC was already compressed and JPEG compresses again, so a little detail goes. At normal viewing sizes it is hard to spot.

Is HEIC better than JPG?

HEIC stores photos in less space, which is why iPhones use it, but JPG opens everywhere. Converted to JPG here, iPhone photos usually come out about half the size of the HEIC, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?

To save space: Apple says HEIC compresses better than JPEG at the same visual quality. The catch is compatibility, so you often need a JPG before sharing.

Are JPG and JPEG the same?

Yes. They are the same format; only the file extension differs. Old Windows only allowed three letters for the file extension, so JPEG became .jpg. Renaming one to the other changes nothing about the file.

Is JPEG lossy?

Yes, always, even at the highest quality setting. Saving a JPEG again can lose a little more detail, so keep your original.

How do I convert HEIC to JPEG?

Add your HEIC photos above, choose JPEG and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.

How do I open a HEIC file?

Apple devices open it, and Safari is the only browser that shows it. Windows needs two extensions from the Microsoft Store: the free HEIF Image Extension and the paid HEVC Video Extensions. Despite the name, the HEVC one is what decodes the photo. Or convert it to JPG or PNG here.

Is it free?

Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.

Are my images private?

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.

What happens to the metadata?

We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
