Private HEIC conversion

Convert HEIC to JPG

Turn one HEIC or HEIF photo into a widely compatible JPEG directly in your browser.

Your photo stays on this device. Refentra does not upload the file, its name, or its metadata.

Choose a HEIC photo

One .heic or .heif still image, up to 25 MiB, 12,000 px per side, and 16 megapixels.

Or drop one HEIC or HEIF file here.

JPEG settings

Choose a quality from 40 to 100. Higher quality usually produces a larger file.

Transparent areas are placed on a fixed white background before JPEG encoding.

Converted image

Waiting — Choose one supported HEIC or HEIF still image.

What the conversion keeps

The decoder applies the HEIF container transforms once. Refentra then creates one 8-bit JPEG at the original displayed dimensions.

JPEG does not retain transparency, HDR, Live Photo motion, depth data, or the source photo metadata.

The local decoder includes libheif 1.23.4 and libde265 1.1.2. Third-party notices · Corresponding source

How to convert HEIC to JPG

  1. Choose a HEIC or HEIF photo

    Choose one .heic or .heif still image or drop it into the tool. The file is checked locally and is never uploaded.

  2. Set the JPEG quality

    Set JPEG quality from 40 to 100. Any transparent areas always receive a white background.

  3. Convert and download

    Start the local conversion, inspect orientation and detail in the preview, and download the new JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Is my HEIC photo uploaded to a server?

No. The photo is decoded in a local browser worker and encoded as JPEG. The file, filename, and metadata are not uploaded.

Which HEIC and HEIF files are supported?

One HEIC or HEIF still image encoded with HEVC, up to 25 MiB, 12,000 px per side, and 16 megapixels. Sequences, multiple top-level images, other codecs, and variants that cannot be handled safely are rejected.

Are orientation, dimensions, and metadata preserved?

HEIF orientation and mirroring are applied once, so the JPEG keeps the displayed pixel dimensions. The result is a lossy 8-bit JPEG, and source metadata is not copied.

What happens to transparency, HDR, and Live Photos?

JPEG cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels are placed on fixed white. HDR, depth data, and Live Photo motion are not retained.
