How to Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows

Windows doesn't open HEIC photos from iPhone by default. Convert them to JPG in your browser without installing any software.

iPhone saves photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container). Windows doesn't support HEIC by default without the HEVC Video Extensions codec ($0.99 in Microsoft Store). FileCraft converts HEIC to JPG for free in your browser.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Transfer HEIC photos to Windows

Connect iPhone via USB or use iCloud. Photos appear as .heic files in File Explorer.

2

Open FileCraft HEIC to JPG

Go to filecraft.tools/heic-to-jpg in Edge, Chrome, or Firefox.

3

Drop your HEIC files

Drag one or multiple .heic files from File Explorer onto the tool. Batch conversion is supported.

4

Download as JPG

Download individual JPGs or a ZIP of all converted files.

Pro Tips

  • 💡You can also enable HEIC support on Windows 11 by installing the HEIF Image Extensions from Microsoft Store for free
  • 💡FileCraft batch converts — drop multiple HEICs at once

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't Windows open HEIC files?

HEIC uses the HEVC codec which Microsoft charges for on Windows. Apple includes it for free on Mac and iPhone. FileCraft's browser-based converter bypasses this entirely.

How do I make iPhone save as JPG instead of HEIC?

Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible. This saves as JPEG instead of HEIC.
