About Convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac for uploads
On a Mac, HEIC photos open without a fuss, so the trouble starts later: a job site, a school form or a marketplace listing that accepts only JPG or PNG and rejects your picture. This page is for that moment.
Drag the HEIC files from Finder or the Photos app onto the converter and take the JPG results back out. You can convert up to 40 pictures together and collect them in a ZIP, which is handy when a listing wants a whole set.
The conversion happens in your browser, so the photos are not sent to a server, and the copies do not carry the GPS position that the original photos contain.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a website reject my iPhone photo?
Many upload forms were built to accept JPG and PNG only. HEIC is a different format, even if the picture looks normal in Preview, so those forms refuse it.
Can I stop my iPhone from making HEIC in the first place?
Yes. In the iPhone Settings under Camera and Formats you can choose Most Compatible, and new photos will be saved as JPG. Photos you already took stay HEIC, which is where this page helps.
Is the location removed from my photos?
The JPG copies made here do not include the location and camera details of the originals, so they are safer to post. Your original HEIC files are not touched.
JPG or PNG: which should I choose?
Choose JPG for photographs, because the file is far smaller. PNG keeps every pixel exactly but is much larger, so only use it when a form asks for it.
