HEIC to JPG in four steps
- Open the editor.
- Drag the .heic file onto the page.
- Choose File › Export › Export As.
- Pick JPEG, set the quality and export. The JPG lands in your downloads folder.
Choose PNG instead when you need lossless quality, or WebP for a smaller file on a website.
Why convert on your own machine
Photos carry more than pixels: where they were taken, when, and who is in them. Most online converters work by uploading your picture to their server. PSCraft decodes the file inside your browser, so the photo stays where it is.
Edit while it's open
Since the photo is already in an editor, you can fix it before exporting:
- crop and straighten;
- correct exposure and colour with the Camera Raw filter;
- remove the background;
- clear a blemish or a stray object with Content-Aware Fill.
What to know about HEIC support
- Read only. Opening works; saving as HEIC doesn't.
- Orientation and colour are respected. Rotation stored in the file is applied, and the embedded colour profile is used.
- 10-bit photos keep their depth. They open as 16-bit documents, so there's room for adjustments before you export.
Converting a whole camera roll
PSCraft is an editor and handles one photo at a time. If you'd rather not deal with HEIC at all, change it at the source: on the iPhone, go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose Most Compatible, and new photos are saved as JPEG.
