HEIC to JPG — Convert iPhone Photos Online
iPhone photos saved as .HEIC won't open on your Windows PC, can't be uploaded to that web form, and confuse older software. Convert them to universally compatible JPG in seconds.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Upload your .heic or .heif photo (drag & drop or browse).
- Pick a JPEG quality (95% default — visually identical) and click Convert to JPEG.
- Download your JPG. The original is deleted from our server automatically.
Why use File Forge?
- Your photos stay yours: deleted immediately after download — and because the code is open source, that's verifiable, not a marketing line.
- Quality control: choose the exact JPEG quality instead of accepting a fixed setting.
- Free, no signup: no account, no watermark, no daily cap.
How File Forge keeps your HEIC to JPG files private
When you use the HEIC to JPG tool, your file is uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection and processed on the server, then handed straight back to you. File Forge is built privacy-first, and — because the entire codebase is open source — every claim on this page is something you can verify line by line or run yourself, rather than a marketing promise you have to take on trust.
Your file is deleted the moment you are done
The file you upload is removed from our server as soon as the HEIC to JPG operation finishes, and the processed result is deleted the instant you download it. As a safety net, a background sweeper runs continuously and purges anything older than one hour, so nothing of yours lingers on disk. We never build a library of your documents, never resell them, and never train anything on them. There is no hidden retention and no analytics tied to your file contents.
Open source you can audit — or self-host
Most “free” online file tools ask you to trust a closed black box. File Forge is different: the complete source code is public on GitHub, so a developer can read exactly how the HEIC to JPG tool handles uploads, confirm the deletion logic, and even run a private copy on their own machine or server. Verifiable privacy beats a privacy policy you simply have to believe.
No account, no watermark, no upsell
There is no signup, no email wall, and no credit card. File Forge never stamps a watermark on your output and never caps you at “one free file” before demanding payment. The HEIC to JPG tool is genuinely free to use as often as you need, on any device with a web browser — no software to install and no extensions to add.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my HEIC photos open on Windows or Android?
HEIC has been Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. Many Windows PCs, Android phones, and websites can't read it without extra codecs. JPG works everywhere.
Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
At the default 95% setting the difference is invisible in normal use. Lower the slider for smaller files.
Are my photos kept on your server?
No — they're deleted right after download, with an automatic sweep for anything left behind.
