How to Convert HEIC to JPG

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) is a modern image format that Apple adopted as the default on iPhones starting with iOS 11. It produces photos roughly 50% smaller than JPEG at the same quality. The downside is limited support on Windows, older Android devices, and many web platforms.

There is a small quality reduction because JPEG re-encodes the image with its own compression. At quality 85-92%, the difference is imperceptible to the human eye. The HEIC source already has some compression, and the JPEG conversion adds a minor additional layer.

Yes. Drop multiple HEIC files or an entire folder onto FastEdit. All files are converted with the same output settings and can be downloaded in one batch.

No. FastEdit converts HEIC to JPG entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device. This is important for personal photos that you may not want on third-party servers.

Yes. FastEdit runs in any modern browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook. You do not need to install Apple software or the HEVC codec extension to convert HEIC files.

Choose JPG if you want smaller files for sharing, email, or web use. JPEG compression keeps file sizes low. Choose PNG if you need lossless quality or transparency support, such as for editing or archival. For most everyday photo sharing, JPG is the better choice.
