Add photos to start

Each photo can take several seconds to decode, and the first one a little longer while the HEIC decoder loads. Photo details such as the date taken, camera and location (EXIF) are not copied into the new file. If a file holds several images, its main image is converted.

HEIC decoding uses libheif (LGPL-3.0) through heic-to, loaded as a separate unmodified file.

What is the HEIC to JPG?

HEIC (also called HEIF) is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default. It keeps files small, but many Windows programs, websites and upload forms can't open it. Cubestack's HEIC to JPG converter changes those photos to JPG or PNG in your browser, so you can use them anywhere. The photos never leave your device.

Add one photo or a whole batch. If your browser can open HEIC itself, that is used; otherwise a HEIC decoder (libheif) loads with the first photo you add. Photos come out the right way up. The new files don't carry the original photo details (EXIF) such as the date taken, camera model or location.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.

Will the photo details (EXIF) be kept?

No. The date taken, camera model and GPS location are not copied into the JPG or PNG. If you need them, keep the original HEIC file.

Why does the first photo take longer?

Unless your browser opens HEIC by itself, the HEIC decoder is downloaded when you add your first photo. After that each photo can take several seconds to decode, depending on its size and your device.

What happens with Live Photos?

A Live Photo is a HEIC still plus a separate video file. This tool converts the still. If a HEIC file holds several images, its main image is converted.

Is JPG quality lost?

JPG is a lossy format, so a little detail is lost; at 90% quality it is hard to see. Choose PNG if you need a lossless copy, though the file will be much larger.
