HEIC is Apple's high-efficiency format — great for storage, but not supported by most Windows apps, websites, and older devices. Converting to JPG makes your photos universally compatible.
TurboConvert uses libheif compiled to WebAssembly to decode HEIC natively in your browser — fast, private, no upload.
Apple introduced HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) with iOS 11 in 2017. It uses the HEVC codec to store photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG with equivalent visual quality — a meaningful difference when you're taking thousands of photos on a phone with limited storage.
The problem is compatibility. Windows doesn't support HEIC natively without installing a codec from the Microsoft Store. Most web platforms, older Android devices, and many photo editing apps don't support it either. This means HEIC photos often appear as blank icons or fail to upload entirely.
TurboConvert uses libheif compiled to WebAssembly — the same open-source library used by professional image tools — running entirely in your browser. This means your photos are decoded and re-encoded to JPG locally, with no upload to any server. A photo that's private stays private.
The conversion preserves the full image resolution and produces a standard JPG compatible with every device, platform, and app. EXIF metadata (camera settings, date taken) is preserved where possible.
If you'd rather avoid the conversion step entirely, you can change your iPhone's camera format. Go to Settings → Camera → Formats, and select Most Compatible instead of High Efficiency. Your iPhone will then save photos as JPEG directly. The trade-off is slightly larger photo files.
HEIC is Apple's photo format, introduced in iOS 11. Windows doesn't support it natively. To open HEIC files on Windows, either convert them to JPG using TurboConvert, or install the HEIF Image Extensions codec from the Microsoft Store.
There is a small quality reduction, since JPG uses lossy compression. However, at standard quality settings the difference is invisible in normal use. The converted JPG will be fully sharp and usable for printing, sharing, and editing.
TurboConvert currently processes one file at a time. For batch conversion of many HEIC photos, you can also use the built-in Photos app on Mac (File → Export → Export as JPG) or iCloud.com to download photos directly as JPG.
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device — there is no upload, no server processing, and no storage of your images anywhere.
Use TurboConvert's HEIC to JPG tool — it works in any modern browser on Windows without any software installation. Open the tool, drop your HEIC file, and download the JPG. The conversion takes a few seconds.
