HEIC to JPG Converter

Q: Can I use this offline?

After the page has loaded once, yes. Disconnect your internet and convert away.

Q: Why do iPhones use HEIC anyway?

HEIC is more efficient than JPG: same quality, half the size. Apple adopted it in 2017. The trade-off is compatibility — many systems can't read HEIC, which is why converters exist.

How it works

Entirely local

Your file is read by JavaScript running in your browser. It is never sent to a server. We don’t have a server that processes files.

Powered by libheif

We use the same open-source decoder Apple’s Preview is built on, compiled to WebAssembly. It handles modern iPhone HEIC files correctly, including HDR gain maps.

Correct orientation

Portrait iPhone photos come out the right way up. Modime parses EXIF orientation before encoding, so JPGs open correctly in every viewer.

Questions

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens in your browser. We don’t have a server that sees your files. You can verify this yourself — open your browser’s Network tab while using the tool. You’ll see zero traffic during conversion.

Why is this faster than Smallpdf or Adobe?

Those services upload your file to their servers, process it there, and send it back. We skip that entirely. Your files never make the round trip.

Can I use this offline?

After you’ve loaded the page once, yes. Disconnect your internet and try it.

What’s the file size limit?

Practically, about 50 files per batch on a modern computer. Larger batches work but may be slow. Individual files can be any size your browser can handle (typically hundreds of MB).

Does Modime work on Windows?

Yes. Modime runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — on any OS.

Why do iPhones use HEIC anyway?

HEIC is more efficient than JPG — same quality, half the file size. Apple adopted it in 2017. The downside is compatibility: many websites, email clients, and non-Apple devices can’t open HEIC files, which is why you need a converter.

Can I convert HEIC to PDF instead?

Yes — use HEIC to PDF to combine several HEICs into a single PDF document.
