ESExifStrip

Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows

No HEIF codec pack, no Microsoft Store extensions, no uploads — just drop your HEIC files and download JPGs.

🔒 100% local — conversion happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and EXIF/GPS metadata is removed automatically.

The Windows HEIC problem

Copy iPhone photos to a Windows PC and you'll find them unopenable. Windows 10/11 needs the HEIF Image Extensions — historically paid, now free but still an install — plus a paid HEVC codec for many files. Most guides send you down a rabbit hole of Store links and codecs.

The shortcut: skip the codecs entirely. This page decodes HEIC with WebAssembly in your browser, so Windows itself never needs to understand the format. Works in Edge, Chrome and Firefox on Windows 7 through 11 — and on Mac and Linux too.

Steps

  1. Drag your .heic files onto the box above (or click to browse).
  2. Adjust quality if you like — 92% is a good default.
  3. Click Save on each converted JPG.
