Turn HEIF photos from Android phones, cameras and iPhones into JPG files that open on Windows, Android, websites and every photo app - need a lossless copy? Use HEIF to PNG.
Samsung phones: turn off Camera settings - Advanced picture options - Save as HEIF to get JPG straight away.
Samsung, Google Pixel and many cameras can save photos as HEIF, and iPhones use the same container.
JPG is the one photo format every device, website, printer and app understands.
Just want a quick look first? Open it in the HEIC Viewer.

Going the other way? JPG to HEIF does that. Test files are in the HEIF sample files.
Drop your HEIF photos into the box, check the settings and press Convert to JPG.
One file downloads directly, more than two come as a ZIP.
No. Your browser decodes the HEIF and writes the JPG on your device, so private photos stay private.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a modern photo container used by Samsung, Pixel and many cameras. HEIC is the same container as used by iPhones. This page reads both.
A tiny bit, because JPG is lossy too - at quality 90 you will not see it. Pick 95-100 for printing, or HEIF to PNG for a lossless copy.
A JPG is usually 1.5-2 times bigger than the HEIF, because HEIF compresses better. That is normal.
Only if you turn on Keep EXIF - by default they are removed. If the photo has a GPS location, the page warns you before you share it.
Bursts and collections show every picture under the preview. The first one is ticked; tick any others and each becomes its own JPG.
Yes. Open this page in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, pick the photos from your gallery and save the JPG to your phone - nothing is uploaded.
