Why convert HEIC to JPG?
JPG opens everywhere. HEIC does not.
HEIC is the default iPhone photo format. It saves space, but many websites, upload forms and Windows apps still cannot open it.
This converter decodes the HEIC in your browser and saves a standard JPEG. The file never leaves your device.
The JPEG copy is also written without the original metadata, so location and device details do not travel with it.
