HEIC to JPG Converter — Batch HEIF, PNG, WebP & iPhone Photos

Batch convert HEIC and HEIF iPhone photos to JPG, PNG, or WebP. Preserve or strip EXIF, custom rename. 100% offline, no upload.

🔒 Convert HEIC to JPG, PNG, or WebP — entirely in your browser. Batch up to hundreds of files. EXIF metadata preserved (or stripped on demand). No upload, no tracking, no subscription. 📸 WHY THIS EXTENSION iPhone photos are saved in HEIC and HEIF — formats that don't open on Windows, Android, most websites, or many editing apps. Other HEIC converters either upload your photos to a server, ask for a subscription after a few files, or quietly add tracking. This one doesn't. Drop a file, get a JPG. That's it. ✅ WHAT YOU CAN DO • Drag and drop one HEIC file or hundreds — folders too • Pick output: JPG, PNG, or WebP — with per-format quality (50–100%) • Preserve EXIF metadata (date, camera, GPS) — or strip just GPS, or strip everything • Custom filename patterns: {name}, {date}, {time}, {index}, {w}, {h} • Right-click any HEIC image on a webpage → Convert HEIC image to JPG • Live thumbnails + savings % per file (typical: −70% file size for JPG output) • Download each file individually, or all at once as a single ZIP • Works fully offline after install 🍏 BUILT FOR • iPhone owners who need to share photos to non-Apple ecosystems (Windows, Android, web) • Content creators converting iPhone photos for blogs, social media, email • Photographers who need EXIF intact for cataloging • Anyone who wants to convert HEIC to JPG without uploading anything ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the toolbar icon to open the popup 2. Drag and drop HEIC / HEIF files (or click to browse, or drop a whole folder) 3. The extension converts each file in your browser using a WebAssembly build of libheif 4. Pick a file to download, or "Download all (.zip)" for the whole batch For one-off conversions while browsing, right-click any HEIC <img> on a webpage and pick "Convert HEIC image to JPG". The converted file lands in your Downloads folder. 🔐 PRIVACY On May 7, 2026 the Chrome Web Store removed two of the most popular HEIC converters — combined ~100,000 users — for sending browsing data to third-party servers. We built this extension to occupy that gap, deliberately: • Conversion runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly • Zero outbound network requests after install (verifiable in DevTools → Network) • All scripts and the WASM decoder are bundled — nothing fetched at runtime • No analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting, no version-check pings • No accounts, no subscription, no upgrade prompts 🎯 PERMISSIONS, JUSTIFIED • downloads — to save converted files to your Downloads folder • storage — to remember your output format, quality, EXIF policy and filename pattern • contextMenus — for the right-click "Convert HEIC image to JPG" entry • activeTab + scripting — to read the bytes of the HEIC image you right-click on the current page (granted only on user gesture, no background access) • offscreen — required by Manifest V3 to use Image/Canvas in the background We deliberately do NOT request: <all_urls>, tabs, cookies, history, identity. 🆚 HOW THIS COMPARES Most HEIC converters available today: • Lose EXIF metadata (date, camera, GPS) — we keep it by default with a one-click toggle to strip • Don't support WebP output — we do (typically 25–35% smaller than JPG) • Don't show savings % or thumbnails — we render both per file • Don't allow custom filename patterns — we expose date / time / index / dimension tokens • Pop a subscription after a handful of files — ours is fully free, every feature included 🧪 SUPPORTED FILES • HEIC and HEIF (single-image) • Live Photos and HEIC sequences — first frame is extracted automatically • Output: JPG (.jpg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp) • No file size limit beyond your machine's RAM (tested with 50+ MB phone photos) • Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook — anywhere Chrome runs 🔗 RESOURCES Homepage: https://extkit.dev/heictojpg Privacy: https://extkit.dev/heictojpg/policy Got a HEIC file you can't open or share?
