FAQ — HEIC to JPG Converter
Short answers to common questions. Click a question to reveal a concise answer.
Simply upload your HEIC images (you can select multiple), and they will be automatically converted to JPG format in your browser. Then download individual files or use "DOWNLOAD ALL" for a ZIP containing all converted images. The entire process happens client-side for maximum privacy.
No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your image never leaves your device unless you explicitly share it elsewhere.
Images larger than 10MB are automatically skipped to ensure optimal browser performance. For best results, we recommend keeping images under 10MB. Very large images (over 4000x4000 pixels) may also cause performance issues or fail to convert due to browser canvas limitations. The conversion happens entirely in your browser's memory.
While there's no strict dimension limit in our code, very large images (typically over 4000x4000 pixels or 16+ megapixels) may fail to convert due to browser memory limitations. Most modern browsers can handle images up to about 4096x4096 pixels, but performance may be slow for extremely large images. If you have very high-resolution images, consider resizing them first or using a desktop image editor.
HEIC is a modern format that offers excellent compression with minimal quality loss. It typically provides better quality at smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats, while being widely compatible.
Yes! You can upload and convert multiple HEIC images at once. Each image is processed individually and you can download them separately or use "DOWNLOAD ALL" to get a ZIP file with all converted JPGs.
After converting multiple images, click the "DOWNLOAD ALL" button that appears at the bottom. This creates a ZIP file containing all your converted JPG images, making it easy to download everything at once.
This converter specifically converts HEIC images to JPG format. Other image formats may not be supported for conversion. Only upload HEIC files for accurate results.
HEIC supports transparency, but JPG does not. When converting HEIC to JPG, transparent areas will be filled with a white background. If you need to preserve transparency, consider converting to PNG instead.
Since JPG does not support transparency, transparent areas in HEIC images will be filled with white during conversion. If you want a different background color, you can edit the resulting JPG in an image editor.
No, EXIF metadata is not retained during conversion. The browser's canvas API used for conversion does not preserve metadata like EXIF, GPS coordinates, or other embedded information. This is actually beneficial for privacy as it removes potentially sensitive location or camera data.
The converter works best in modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Older browsers or mobile browsers may have limitations with memory or performance during conversion.
The conversion itself happens entirely in your browser without any server communication. However, you need an internet connection to initially load the webpage and JavaScript files. Once loaded, you could theoretically use it offline for subsequent conversions if your browser has cached the assets.
If you get an error, try a smaller file or a different browser. If the image is corrupted, re-export or try opening the file in an image editor first. Very large images (over 4000x4000 pixels) may also fail due to browser memory limits. You can contact support for persistent issues.
