100% Local — Files Never Leave Your Phone

HEIC to JPG converter

Tap to pick your photos

on a phone, choose them from Downloads, Files or your gallery — on a computer, drag them in

Supports .heic and .heif from iPhone, iPad and modern Android cameras

Nothing added yet. Converted photos save to your Downloads folder, where the gallery will pick them up.

Why one app shows it and the next does not

Android has decoded HEIF at the operating system level since Android 10, so your phone is not simply refusing the format. The inconsistency is at the app layer: Google Photos and Samsung Gallery generally display HEIC on recent handsets, while third-party galleries, file managers, older or budget devices and web upload forms often do not.

How the photo reached you matters too. WhatsApp and Messenger convert to JPEG themselves, which is why those always work; Drive, email, Quick Share and USB copies deliver the original .heic.

Converting on the phone itself

This page runs its decoder inside your browser, so there is no app to install and nothing is uploaded. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Samsung Internet all support it.

Saved JPGs land in your Downloads folder, where Google Photos and Samsung Gallery pick them up, ready to view, share or upload anywhere.

  1. Add your photos

    Tap Select Files and pick them from Downloads, Files or your gallery. On a computer, drag them in instead.

  2. Open or share the JPGs

    Saved files go to Downloads, where the gallery finds them and any app can share them on.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my Samsung open HEIC files from an iPhone?

It is rarely the phone — Android has decoded HEIF since Android 10. It is the app. System galleries usually manage it on recent devices while third-party apps, older handsets and upload forms often do not, which is why the same file works in one place and shows a black screen in another.

Can I convert on my phone's browser?

Yes. Everything runs on the phone with no app and no upload. Two practical notes: keep the tab in the foreground, because Android throttles background tabs and conversion stalls, and work in batches of around twenty on an older device, since a large decode needs a few hundred megabytes of memory.
