Convert HEIC to JPG

About Convert HEIC to JPG

HEIC to JPG converts the HEIC and HEIF photos an iPhone takes into JPG files that open everywhere: on Windows, on Android, in forms and on websites. The conversion runs in your browser, so the photos are never uploaded. Files up to 200 MB, one or a batch.

• iPhone photos on Windows
• Photos for a form
• Share with Android users

   Export

   Save the JPG, or a zip for a batch.

Why your file never leaves your device

Most online tools upload your file to a server, work on it there, and keep a copy for a while. Thryve Photo does the work inside your browser instead, with code that runs on your own device, so there is no upload, no copy on a server and nothing to delete afterwards. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory. It also means the tools keep working on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Questions, answered

Why will my HEIC photo not open on Windows or in a form?

HEIC is Apple’s format and many apps and portals do not read it. Converting to JPG gives you a file that opens anywhere.

Is the quality lost?

JPG is lossy, but at the default quality the difference is not visible. The original HEIC on your phone is untouched.

Is the location data kept?

The photo’s hidden details, including where it was taken, come along with it. Run Remove metadata afterwards if the JPG should not carry the location.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The photo is opened and processed inside your browser tab, on your own device, and the result is saved straight back to it. Thryve has no server that receives files.

Is it free?

Yes. This page gives 10 free exports every rolling 30 days, with no account. Thryve Pro, $9.99 once with no subscription, removes the limit on every Thryve PDF, Photo, Media and Invoice page.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Drop a file and start. An account is only needed to buy Thryve Pro, so the licence can follow you between devices.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on Android and iPhone, as well as on Windows, Mac and Linux. Since the work happens on the device, a large file takes longer on a phone than on a laptop.
