How to convert HEIC to JPG for WhatsApp
Choose your HEIC photos. Tap the box above and select one or many photos taken on an iPhone or iPad — files ending in .heic or .heif.
Wait a moment per photo. Decoding HEIC takes a second or two per image, and the progress counter shows exactly where the conversion is up to.
Keep "Also compress for WhatsApp" on. Each converted JPG is also optimized to around 1 MB so it sends fast and arrives sharp. Untick it if you want full-size JPGs instead.
Download and share. Save photos one by one or grab them all as a ZIP, then send them on WhatsApp, email, or copy them to any Android or Windows device.
Why can't my contacts open my iPhone photos?
Every iPhone since iOS 11 saves photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) by default. Apple chose it because it packs the same photo quality into about half the storage of a JPEG — great for your camera roll, but a headache the moment the photo leaves the Apple ecosystem. Send a HEIC file to a friend on Android, attach it to an email opened on Windows 10, or share it through a chat app as a document, and the recipient often sees a file they simply cannot open.
WhatsApp usually converts photos sent as regular images, but photos shared as files (to keep full quality), copied to a PC over a cable, or downloaded from iCloud stay in HEIC format. That is when you need a converter: turning the photo into a standard JPG makes it openable on every phone, computer, TV and website built in the last twenty years.
This tool decodes each HEIC photo right in your browser and re-saves it as a high-quality JPG at 90% quality — visually identical to the original. Leave the "Also compress for WhatsApp" option enabled and each JPG is additionally optimized to around 1 MB, so it sends quickly even on slow mobile data and arrives sharp instead of being crushed by WhatsApp's own compression. And because everything runs on your device, your photos are never uploaded to any server — batch-convert your whole camera roll without privacy worries.

Select your HEIC photos above and the tool converts each one to a standard JPG right in your browser. Download the results individually or as a ZIP, then share them on WhatsApp — every phone and computer can open them.
Why are my iPhone photos in HEIC format?

Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
The conversion uses 90% JPEG quality, which is visually identical to the original for photos. If you leave "Also compress for WhatsApp" enabled, images are additionally resized to 1920 pixels — perfect for sharing, though you can turn it off to keep full resolution.
What if one of my files fails to convert?
Files that are not really HEIC images (for example, renamed files or corrupted downloads) are skipped with a warning next to their name, and the rest of your photos convert normally.
