HEIC to JPG
Turn iPhone photos (HEIC) into JPGs that open almost everywhere.
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos unless you change it, and some Android phones use it too. It keeps a photo in less space than JPG, but many websites, Windows programs and older apps won't open it. As JPG, the same photo opens almost anywhere.
Almost any file
Images, vector art, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks and archives: more than 400 conversions. Before anything runs, Filebender says what a conversion will lose and estimates the size of video, audio and many pictures; other files show their size once converted. It compresses PDFs, pictures and videos to the size you choose.
No ads, no watermarks
With a free account: 20 files a day, 2 of them videos, each up to 500 MB. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your files. A pass is one payment that never renews, and one you haven't used can be refunded in full.
Private by default
Files are deleted an hour after converting, or at once when you ask, and photo location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Photos converted to JPG, PNG or WebP are done on your device when your browser can, so they never leave it. They still need your account and count towards your plan.
How to convert HEIC to JPG
- Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
- Choose your HEIC files: drop them on the box, pick them from your computer, open them from Google Drive, or paste a link.
- Pick the format each file should become. The gear button has size, quality and other settings.
- Press “Convert”, then download each file, or all of them in one ZIP.
What's kept and what's lost
The JPG is saved at quality 82 out of 100 by default, where photos look unchanged at normal viewing sizes. It's turned the right way up, at full size unless you resize it in the same step.
A JPG holds one still picture, so what HEIC keeps alongside is left behind: depth information used for portrait blur, and the extra brightness range of an HDR photo. A Live Photo's movement is a separate video file, so only the still is converted.
Location and camera details
Phone photos usually record where they were taken. Filebender removes the location, camera and date details by default, so a photo you post or send doesn't give away where it was taken. If you need them, to sort pictures by date for instance, tick “Keep photo details” in the settings before converting.
Where it's converted
HEIC is always converted on Filebender's servers, because most browsers can't open it. The photo is uploaded, converted and deleted an hour after converting, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”.

Questions
Can I convert a whole camera roll?
Add the photos together and they're all converted to JPG in one go; download them one by one or in a single ZIP. With a free account you can convert 20 files a day, each up to 500 MB, and a pass allows many more.
Should I pick JPG or PNG?
JPG for sharing, uploading and printing, since the files stay small. PNG keeps every pixel of the decoded photo but makes files several times bigger, which only helps if you'll keep editing it.
Can I make the JPGs smaller?
Yes. Lower the quality in the settings, or choose the Email preset, which keeps each photo under 10 MB and no more than 2560 pixels on its longest side.
Is Filebender free?
Yes, with a free account: 20 files every day (up to 2 of them videos), each up to 500 MB, with no watermark and no ads. Make the account with Google or your email address. Files converted on your device count the same way as the rest. If you need more, a Day, Week or Month Pass is one payment that never renews; see the Pricing page.
What happens to my files?
It depends on the file. Pictures your browser can convert itself, and everything you do with the PDF tools, from merging and splitting PDFs to putting photos into one, are handled on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to send a file to Filebender's servers. They still need your account: Filebender receives only their type and size, to count them against your plan like any other file. Everything else is converted on Filebender's servers on Google Cloud and deleted an hour after the conversion finishes, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”. Nobody looks at your files, and they're never used for anything else.
