Answers to common HEIC-to-JPG questions
Everything you need to know about running the converter locally, handling batches, and keeping photos private.
Does the conversion happen on your servers?
Absolutely not. The entire conversion process is performed locally in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. This means your HEIC files never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server, ensuring maximum privacy and security for your photos.
What devices and browsers are supported?
The converter works on any modern web browser (Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, Safari) across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. If your browser supports drag-and-drop, you can convert your images.
Is there a file size limit?
There’s no hard size limit. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the only constraints are your device and browser memory.
Can I batch convert multiple HEIC files?
Yes. You can drop in as many HEIC files as you need. Each file is processed one by one directly in your browser, and you can download each JPG as soon as it is ready—perfect for quickly converting a whole album.
Why do I need to convert HEIC to JPG/JPEG?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple’s default photo format because it saves space, but it isn’t universally supported across apps, websites, or many Windows/Android devices. Converting to JPG (JPEG) ensures your images open everywhere—HEIC is great for storage, while JPG is the compatibility king.
How do I clear the cached converter files?
Open your browser's privacy or storage settings, remove data for fromheictojpg.com, and reload the page to download a fresh copy of the WebAssembly bundle.
Does the tool keep EXIF or location data?
Yes. We do not strip EXIF metadata; GPS tags, camera info, and timestamps remain in the JPG so your originals stay synchronized.
What if a conversion gets stuck at 100%?
Large images may need a few extra seconds while the browser writes the JPG. Wait briefly, then click the download button again or retry only that file.
Can I run the converter without internet?
After the first load, the app works offline. Keep the tab open or add it to your home screen so the cached engine is available on trips or flights.
