Open HEIC photos on Windows
No codec pack, no paid app from the Microsoft Store — drop the photos in your browser and download them as JPGs Windows opens natively.
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and a fresh Windows install can't open them — Photos asks you to buy a codec, and half the "free" converter sites push the photo through their servers. There is a simpler way: the conversion can run inside your own browser.
Drop the HEIC files on the converter below and download JPGs (or PNGs) that open in Photos, Paint, Office and every website. The decoding happens on your PC — the photos are never uploaded, which matters when the camera roll you're converting is personal.
Why use it
No codec, no install
Works in the browser you already have — nothing to buy from the Store, nothing to install.
Whole folders at once
Drop a batch of HEICs and download them together as a ZIP of JPGs.
Photos stay on your PC
The decoder runs locally — your camera roll never transits a stranger's server.
Tools that run on your device
All free, all private — nothing here uploads your images.
