Best HEIC to JPG Converters in 2026: the buyer's shortlist

ToAny converts HEIC to JPG inside the browser tab. The file's contents, name and size are not sent to ToAny or to anyone else, and the page keeps a running count of bytes uploaded that you can check against your browser's Network panel. There is no account, no email address and no watermark.

You can add several files at once and download them together as a ZIP. Under Options you can set the quality, aim for a target file size, resize the result and choose the colour that fills transparent areas. ToAny reads the first bytes of a file rather than trusting its name, so a HEIC renamed .jpg is still recognised.

It has real weak spots. Camera metadata such as EXIF and GPS location is not copied into the JPG, and there is no option to keep it, so iMazing and Apowersoft are better if you need it. The page says several at once without a number, while HEICtoJPG.com states 200 photos per batch. There is no desktop app, no API and no cloud-storage import. Very large files are limited by your device's memory.

Most browsers other than Safari download a HEIC decoder of about 0.2 MB the first time and keep it in the cache. ToAny is free, and its terms say it may show advertising; none is shown at the time of writing. It went live on 5 October 2026, so it has no review scores to quote.

The same site covers 190 formats and 1,195 pairs, including HEIC to PNG, HEIC to WebP and HEIC to PDF. A small number of those pairs (16) run on ToAny's server, and only after you consent for each upload. HEIC to JPG is not one of them.

iMazing Converter is a small desktop app for Mac and PC that converts HEIC to JPG and PNG, and HEVC (H.265) video to MP4 (H.264). The page describes it as 100% free, states no limits and lists no paid plan for the Converter.

It gives the most control over what ends up in the JPG. You can adjust resolution and quality, keep or strip EXIF data, and use colour profiles, including wide-gamut ones. You can drag in files or whole folders. That matters if you sort photos by date or place afterwards, or if you are sending pictures to a printer and want the colour to survive.

Processing is local to your Mac or PC. That statement comes from iMazing's About page, and the Converter page itself does not repeat it. The company behind the app, DigiDNA, was incorporated in 2008 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. The website is offered in 12 languages, although we could not confirm the app languages.

The cost is the install. You have to download and run an app, which rules it out on a locked work laptop, a Chromebook or a phone. It offers three conversions in all, so it is not a general file converter. We found no stated rule on commercial use, so read the licence if you are converting client photos. Of the eight, it is the best choice for people who care about metadata and colour more than convenience.

HEICtoJPG.com is a single-purpose web converter. It is free (0 USD), needs no account and states no watermark. The drop zone says conversion starts automatically and accepts up to 200 photos at a time, which is the largest stated batch of any browser tool here. No daily cap is stated on the pages we read.

The output is optimised with JPEGmini, so the JPGs come out smaller than a plain conversion. That helps if you are emailing or uploading a lot of photos. The site also promotes the JPEGmini desktop app for 500+ photos at once, which is a separate product.

The privacy position needs care. The terms state that files are uploaded to and processed on Beamr's systems, and that content is removed within 48 hours of upload. The homepage says the files are deleted immediately after conversion, which conflicts with the 48-hour figure. The FAQ adds that Beamr may use content internally to improve the service. The page also carries a Google AdSense script.

The terms prohibit commercial use of the service, although the homepage markets it to photography and real estate professionals. The site is operated by Beamr Imaging Ltd., with courts in Tel Aviv-Yaffo. We found no stated EXIF option and no stated maximum file size.

If you need to push a couple of hundred photos through a browser and accept an upload, it is the strongest option on batch size. If the photos are sensitive or the work is commercial, look further down the list or at ToAny.

Ezgif is a long-running set of web image tools, and its HEIC to JPG page is a plain upload form. It is free, we found no paid plan, and no account or watermark is involved. The page states a maximum file size of 200MB and says there are no limits on use.

You can add a file by upload, paste, drag and drop, or a direct image URL. The last option is useful if the photo is already online. The JPG quality runs from 0 to 100 with a default of 90, and you can set a background colour for transparent areas. HEIC and HEIF are accepted, and sibling pages output PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, JXL and BMP.

This one is an upload tool. The privacy policy confirms that files go to Ezgif's servers rather than being handled in the browser, and the page says uploaded files are deleted automatically 1 hour after upload. That is the shortest retention of the upload tools in this list. The site serves advertisements and shows a Buy Me A Coffee link.

The weak spots are batch handling and metadata. The page states no batch size, and we found no statement on whether EXIF data is kept. It does not say anything about commercial use either.

The same developer lists ezavif.com, which runs locally in the browser, but that is a separate site and not the HEIC tool reviewed here.

CloudConvert is a general converter that handles 212 formats across 11 categories, HEIC to JPG among them. It was founded in 2012 and is made by Lunaweb GmbH in Germany. The company states 10,000+ active customers and says 90% of files are processed through its REST API, which makes it as much a developer tool as a consumer one. FreeConvert also lists a REST API.

The free plan costs EUR 0 and gives 10 conversion credits a day, with a daily reset, for personal use. The maximum file size on the free plan is 1 GB. Free users are limited to 5 minutes of processing time and 5 concurrent tasks, and they get low processing priority. Credits work out at about 1 credit per minute of conversion time, with a minimum of 1 for general conversions. We could not read the paid amounts, because the pricing page renders them with JavaScript.

The upload goes to a server. The privacy policy says selected files are transferred to and temporarily stored on CloudConvert's servers, and that they are deleted after 24 hours at the latest or sooner if you press delete. The security page says files are kept only for processing and deleted immediately afterwards, and that the company's ISMS is ISO 27001 certified by TÜV Süd. It says it does not read or mine file data.

Trustpilot shows 4.0 from 74 reviews on its nl-be page, and the count moves over time. Registration is optional under the privacy policy, but we could not confirm the anonymous limit.

For a single HEIC photo it is more machinery than you need, and it has no stated EXIF option. For an automated pipeline, it is a strong choice in this list, alongside FreeConvert's API.

FreeConvert is a large web converter with more than 1500 file conversions on its homepage, including HEIC to JPG, and a REST API. It launched in 2018, grew out of ImageResizer.com and lists 15 interface languages. On its about page it claims 11M+ monthly visitors and 2M+ files processed every day.

Free use needs no account on the website. The homepage converter accepts files up to 1 GB, and the free allowance is 20 conversion minutes a day, which the pricing page translates to up to 20 files a day for most users. Each file gets 5 conversion minutes. The free tier appears to carry ads and a queue, because paid plans list No Ads.

Paid plans start at $12.99/month for Basic, with 1,500 conversion minutes a month and a 1.5 GB file limit. Standard is $24.99 and Pro is $29.99. A yearly toggle advertises 2 months free.

Uploads sit on FreeConvert's side for a while. The privacy page says files are stored on AWS in Ireland and deleted automatically after 8 hours, with manual deletion also possible. It says it does not view files without explicit written consent, except where legal procedures require it.

FreeConvert states a rating of 4.7 based on 17,000+ reviews on its about page, but it does not name the platform, so treat it as the vendor's own claim. We found no stated EXIF option for HEIC and no commercial-use statement.

Pixillion is NCH Software's image converter for Windows and macOS. It converts in batches, lists HEIC as an input and output format, and names HEIC to JPG as a popular conversion. The vendor claims 40+ formats, and NCH says its software has been released since 1993.

It does more than convert. The page lists batch resize, crop, rotate, flip, watermarks and captions, filters and colour adjustment, and you can combine images into TIFF, PDF or Docx. That makes it a better fit if the HEIC photos need resizing or branding on the way out.

The free version is for non-commercial home use only. The software runs on Windows 7 to 11 and macOS 10.5 or above, and it is installed rather than used in a browser. The page does not state a file-handling policy, so we cannot say anything about retention. The vendor claims 7,358,783 users downloaded it at the time we read the page.

There are catches. According to NCH's format table, HEIC and HEIF are read and write on Windows but read only on Mac, and some formats, such as PSD, need the paid Pixillion Plus edition. A paid version uses a serial number that you activate into a registration code, and we did not find the price on the pages we read. We found no stated EXIF option for the HEIC to JPG route.

It is the right tool if you already want a desktop batch editor. For a one-off HEIC conversion the install is more than the job needs.

Apowersoft's HEIC to JPG page is a single-pair online tool. It is stated as free, with no sign-up or subscription, and it accepts HEIC and HEIF input. A desktop app is also offered, though we did not check its price.

The two controls are the useful part. A Keep Exif data checkbox is ticked by default, and the quality control defaults to 100%. That makes it one of only two tools here, with iMazing, that visibly lets you keep EXIF data. Unlike iMazing, it works from a web page and needs no install.

The batch cap is up to 30 photos per session, and no daily limit is stated. The page says images are deleted after conversion finishes, which is a vendor claim.

Where the file is processed is unclear. The heading says in the Cloud, while the body text says within your browser. The page does not say whether files are uploaded to a server, so treat it as unverified. If privacy is the reason you are choosing a converter, that ambiguity is a reason to pick a tool that states its position plainly.

The operating company is WANGXU TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED, and the page does not state its city or country. Ratings on the page are the vendor's own: the schema markup shows 4.8 from 433 ratings, while the visible badge reads Reviews (65). Neither is a third-party platform. We found no maximum file size and no commercial-use statement.
