How to change HEIC to JPG on Windows or Mac

What is HEIC? It’s an image format developed by Apple Corporation for MacBooks and iOS devices. Thus, pictures with this extension, even though they offer a better compression rate while keeping the same image quality, might not be fully compatible with Android smartphones and PCs. To open such an image, one should install additional software or turn a HEIC into JPG.

The second option is better, as it is not a one-time workaround, but a permanent solution. This way you’ll get a file compatible with all the devices, online platforms, software versions, and operating systems.

Luckily, Clideo’s HEIC to JPG converter can perform this task in several moments. It’s a web-based tool, which you can run on Windows, Mac, iPhone, or any other device with a stable and fast internet connection.

It’s a niche service, whose functionality is limited to converting files, so the interface is user-friendly and intuitive even without lengthy manuals. But still, if you need some help, here is a brief instruction on how to convert HEIC to JPG in three steps.

  1. Upload a HEIC file to the tool

    Open the HEIC to JPG converter in any browser and click the "Get started" button.

    When transferred to the next screen, you can either drag and drop your file right on the pane or hit "Choose file" and select an image from your local storage.

  2. Change HEIC to JPG

    Click the "Convert to" field to open the drop-down menu, hover over the image icon on the left to see all the conversion options, select JPG, and hit "Convert".

  3. Save HEIC as JPG

    As soon as the file is converted, save it to your device, as the project will not be stored in your Clideo account if you have it. However, no matter whether you are a registered or premium user, the output will not bear a watermark. You can also upload another file right away, or change the settings of this one.
