HEIC to JPG Converter
Drop iPhone HEIC photos — get JPGs converted entirely on your device. Unlimited, free, no watermark, metadata removed.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) to halve storage use. The problem: Windows, older Android, most web forms and many desktop apps still don't accept HEIC. Converting to JPG makes a photo universally openable.
The privacy problem with most online converters
Nearly every HEIC converter you find on Google — including the top results — works the same way: it uploads your entire photo to a server, converts it there, and sends it back. Your family photos, ID documents, and location data all pass through someone else's computer. ExifStrip converts HEIC to JPG using WebAssembly inside your browser tab. The file never leaves your device — you can watch it in your browser's network tab: zero uploads.
How it works
The HEIC decoder is libheif compiled to WebAssembly, loaded on demand when you drop your first file. The decoded pixels are drawn to a canvas and re-encoded as JPG at your chosen quality. Because the image is rebuilt from raw pixels, the EXIF block (including GPS location) from the original HEIC does not carry over — conversion doubles as metadata removal.
FAQ
Does it work on Windows, Mac and Android?
Yes — any modern browser on any system. On Windows you don't need Microsoft's paid HEIF codec extensions; see our open HEIC on Windows guide.
What quality should I choose?
92% is a great default — visually identical to the original at a reasonable file size. Use 100% for archival, 75–85% for sharing online.
