Why can't I open HEIC photos on Windows?

Windows does not include native HEIC decoding by default without purchasing a separate codec from the Microsoft Store. This tool converts HEIC to standard JPG instantly for free.

Are my personal photos uploaded to any server?

Never. The WebAssembly HEIC decoder runs entirely inside your browser's local sandbox.

Can I convert HEIC photos directly on a Windows PC?

Yes. Because our WebAssembly decoder runs directly inside your web browser, you can convert iPhone photos on Windows, Linux, or ChromeOS without installing extra software.

Does this tool preserve camera shooting date and time?

Yes. The original capture timestamp and orientation information are preserved in the converted JPEG output.

What is HEIC to JPG Converter?

HEIC to JPG Converter transforms High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC/HEIF) photos captured on Apple iPhones and iPads into universally compatible JPEG format. Powered by an in-browser WebAssembly decoding engine, it extracts raw pixel data and encodes standard JPEGs without uploading your personal photos to the cloud.

Zero-Server Client-Side Guarantee

Unlike legacy online utilities that upload sensitive media and documents to remote cloud storage, Shadow Toolkit executes this entire operation directly within your browser's local runtime. Your raw data never crosses the network.
