Convert HEIC to JPG

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default — a format that saves space but that many Windows apps, older software, and websites still can't open. Retouchr decodes HEIC files directly in your browser and re-encodes them as standard JPG.

No installing codecs, no uploading your photos to a converter site — the whole thing runs client-side using a bundled HEIF decoder.

🔒 Your images never leave your device — everything runs in your browser.

FAQ

Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11 — it compresses better than JPEG at the same quality, but isn't supported everywhere.

Does this work on Windows and Android, not just Mac?

Yes — since the conversion runs in the browser using JavaScript, it works on any device with a modern browser, regardless of operating system.

Will I lose photo quality converting HEIC to JPG?

There's a small amount of re-encoding loss, as with any JPEG conversion, but at default quality settings it's generally not noticeable.
