HEIC, HEIF · up to 10.0 MB each, 10 at a time (Lifetime: 100 MB, 100 files)
Your files never leave your device. Everything happens in this browser tab.
iPhones save photos as HEIC to save space, but Windows PCs, many Android phones, websites and upload forms can't open them. This converter turns them into standard JPG (or PNG) photos in your browser.
Because it all happens on your device, your personal photos never leave your phone or computer. HEIC decoding is heavier work than other formats, so large photos can take a few seconds each.
How to use the HEIC to JPG tool
Add your HEIC photos
Drag them in or choose them from your phone or computer. AirDropped or emailed .heic files work too.

Tips
- On iPhone, Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera save JPG from now on.
- Live Photos and burst HEICs can contain several images; each becomes its own file.
- Converting big batches is quickest on a laptop or desktop.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones use by default since iOS 11. It's about half the size of JPG at similar quality, but many devices and websites can't open it.
Will I lose quality?
At 90% quality the JPG looks the same to the eye. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy.
Why is it slower than other converters?
HEIC decoding is done by a small library in your browser rather than built-in hardware, so each photo takes a moment.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using your device's own image engine. Your files are never sent to Scanlexa or anyone else, which is why it also works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it keep the photo's location data?
No. The converted file doesn't include the original's EXIF metadata, such as GPS location, which is safer for sharing.
