Private by design

Your files are opened and processed by your browser on this device. They are never uploaded to openWorkstand or anyone else, so the HEIC to JPG is safe for contracts, IDs, photos and work documents, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. How local processing works

Good to know

  • HEIC photos are decoded on your device, which takes a few seconds per photo on slower phones.
  • Live Photo motion and depth data are not kept.

When to use the HEIC to JPG

  • Share iPhone photos with Windows or Android users.
  • Upload iPhone photos to sites that reject HEIC.
  • Print photos at a shop kiosk.

Examples

A website that rejects iPhone photos

Select all the HEIC photos at once, keep JPG as the format and convert. Download them one by one, or all together as a .zip.

Stop new iPhone photos being saved as HEIC

On the iPhone, open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG; existing ones still need converting.

Troubleshooting

Some photos fail to convert

Unusual HEIC variants may not decode in the browser. On the iPhone, Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC → Automatic converts photos to JPG when you copy them to a computer.

The file does not open

Check that it is one of the supported formats above and opens in another app. Damaged files and password-protected PDFs cannot be read until they are repaired or unlocked.

It is slow or stops on a very large file

Everything runs on your device, so speed depends on its memory. Close other tabs, use a computer rather than a phone, or split the file into smaller parts first.

The download did not start

Look for your browser’s download bar or icon. Some browsers ask once before a site may download files; allow it and click the button again.

Frequently asked questions

Why does conversion take a few seconds?

HEIC decoding runs on your device instead of a server. It is a little slower for large batches but keeps your photos private.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your own device by your browser. They never leave your computer or phone, and there is no file size limit other than your device’s memory.
