How to convert HEIC to JPG without uploading
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many apps and websites don't accept — so people reach for an online converter and upload their photos. But your photos are personal, and most converters send them to a server. You can convert HEIC to JPG without uploading a thing.
Why not just upload to a converter?
HEIC files are usually photos — of people, places, documents, screenshots. Uploading them to a random converter means handing your personal images to a stranger's server, where they may be cached or retained. For something as private as your camera roll, that's worth avoiding.
Converting HEIC on your own device
A browser can now decode HEIC and re-encode it as JPG locally, using WebAssembly — the same technology behind in-browser video and photo editing. Your photo is turned into a JPG in the page itself and never leaves your device.
How to do it
Open Toolery's HEIC-to-JPG converter, drop your .heic photo in, and download the JPG — instantly, privately, and free. It works for a single photo or one after another, with no sign-up.
