How to use HEIC to JPG

  1. Drop your HEIC or HEIF photos on the upload area, or choose them — up to 30 at once. On iPhone or iPad, pick them from Photos or Files.
  2. Set the JPG quality if you like. 90 is a good default for photos.
  3. Press Convert to JPG. Each photo is checked, decoded on your device and saved as JPG, one after another.
  4. Check the previews, sizes and dimensions, then download each JPG or all of them as one ZIP.

Why iPhone photos are HEIC

iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) when the camera format is set to High Efficiency, which is the default. HEIC files are much smaller than JPGs of similar quality, but many Windows and Android apps, older software and websites can’t open them. JPG opens almost everywhere.

Quality and file size

JPG is lossy: higher quality means larger files. 85–92 looks like the original for most photos; lower values make smaller files with visible blockiness in fine detail. Expect the JPG to be larger than the HEIC — HEIC compresses more efficiently, which is why Apple uses it.

Orientation, colour and metadata

The rotation and mirroring stored in the HEIC file are applied, so portrait photos stay upright. The colour profile (Display P3 on recent iPhones) is copied into the JPG so colours stay true. EXIF metadata — the date taken, camera model and GPS location — is not copied, so the JPG doesn’t reveal where the photo was taken. Keep the original if you need that information.

Live Photos, bursts and HDR

A Live Photo’s moving part is a separate video file and isn’t converted. If a HEIC file holds several images, only the main (primary) image is converted, and the result tells you how many others there were. 10-bit and HDR photos are saved as standard 8-bit JPGs; the HDR gain map isn’t kept, so very bright highlights can look flatter.

What happens to your files

Your files are opened and processed by your own browser. They are not uploaded to TextVix or anyone else, and nothing is kept after you close the tab. Downloads are created on your device.

Questions about HEIC to JPG

More answers in the TextVix FAQ.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows or Android?

Yes. TextVix brings its own HEIC decoder, so the conversion works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari even when the browser or operating system can’t open HEIC itself.

How many photos can I convert at once?

Up to 30 photos per run, 40 MB each and 400 MB in total. They’re converted one at a time so large photos don’t run your browser out of memory, and you can download all the results as one ZIP.

Does it handle 48-megapixel iPhone photos?

Yes — images up to 50 megapixels. A 48-megapixel photo needs several hundred megabytes of memory while it converts, so on older phones convert large photos a few at a time.

Is the GPS location removed?

Yes. The JPG is written from the decoded pixels only, so none of the original’s EXIF data — GPS location, date taken or camera details — is included. (Safari adds a few technical tags of its own, such as the image size.)

What does “Colour profile kept” mean?

iPhone photos use the wide Display P3 colour range. The profile describing it is copied into the JPG, so apps that manage colour show the same colours as the original.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The HEIC decoder is downloaded to your browser and your photos are converted on your device. TextVix never receives them.
