About HEIC to JPG

HEIC to JPG solves a very common iPhone headache. Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and a Windows PC without the right extension, an older Android phone or a web form may refuse to open them. JPG opens everywhere.

Upload a .heic or .heif file and you get a standard JPG. The picture comes out the right way up, and with Keep photo info (EXIF) on, the date taken, camera model and location stay in the file, so photo libraries still sort it correctly. Switch that option off to strip those details before posting. The Quality slider starts at 90, a good balance between detail and file size.

How to use HEIC to JPG

  1. 1
    Upload the HEIC photo

    Click Choose file or drop a .heic or .heif photo on the page, straight from your iPhone or a synced folder.

  2. 2
    Choose quality and EXIF

    Adjust Quality if you need a lighter file, and leave Keep photo info (EXIF) on or switch it off.

  3. 3
    Click HEIC to JPG

    The photo is decoded and saved as JPG on our server, in its own isolated process.

  4. 4
    Download the JPG

    The file keeps its name, so IMG_0421.HEIC becomes IMG_0421.jpg.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Right way up, every time

    Photos taken sideways or upside down are turned correctly before they're saved, and the rotation tag is reset so nothing flips twice.

  • Date and camera kept

    With Keep photo info (EXIF) on, the date taken, the camera and the GPS location travel with the picture.

  • Adjustable quality

    90 by default. Lower it for a lighter file to email, or raise it toward 100 for prints.

  • HEIF files too

    Photos with a .heif ending, from Samsung and other phones that use the format, convert the same way.

FAQ

HEIC to JPG: questions and answers

Will HEIC to JPG lower the photo quality?
Only slightly. JPG is a lossy format, but at the default quality of 90 the difference is very hard to see. Expect the JPG to be bigger than the HEIC, because HEIC compresses more efficiently. For a lossless copy to edit, HEIC to PNG keeps every pixel instead.
Does HEIC to JPG keep the date the photo was taken?
Yes, as long as Keep photo info (EXIF) stays on. The date, camera model and GPS location are copied into the JPG.
How do I stop my iPhone from saving HEIC?
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG; the ones you already took stay HEIC, so convert those here. Photos taken in Apple ProRAW are DNG files, which DNG to JPG converts.
Can I convert HEIC photos for free?
Yes, 2 conversions in total without an account, or 2 a day with a free one, for photos up to 50 MB. VIP lifts the daily limit and converts up to 50 photos per task.
Is it safe to upload personal photos?
Yes. Photos are sent over HTTPS, converted in an isolated process and deleted automatically after one hour. We never look at your pictures, and they're never shared, sold or used to train AI. To keep your location private, turn off Keep photo info (EXIF).
