How to Batch Convert HEIC to JPG – Convert Multiple Files at Once

Why Batch Conversion Matters

If you have ever come back from a vacation with hundreds of iPhone photos that need converting, you know the frustration of handling HEIC files one at a time. Whether you are organizing an iPhone backup, preparing images for a website, or sending a photo album to family members who use Windows or Android, converting files individually is simply not practical.

Batch conversion lets you select dozens or even hundreds of HEIC files and convert them all to JPG, PNG, or WebP in a single operation. It saves time, reduces effort, and ensures consistent output settings across every image.

Common Scenarios for Batch Conversion

There are several everyday situations where batch conversion becomes essential:

  • Vacation or event photos: A week-long trip can easily produce 500 or more HEIC files that need to be shared or printed.
  • iPhone backups: When transferring your entire photo library to a Windows PC or external drive, HEIC files may not be viewable without additional software.
  • Professional workflows: Photographers and designers who receive HEIC images from clients often need JPG for editing or delivery.
  • Social media and blogging: Preparing a large set of images for upload to platforms that do not accept HEIC.

How to Batch Convert HEIC Files for Free

Our free HEIC2PIC is built for exactly this purpose. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Open the Converter

Go to our HEIC2PIC in any modern browser. There is nothing to install and no account required.

Step 2: Select Your Files

You have two easy options for adding files:

  • Drag and drop: Select multiple HEIC files from your file manager and drag them directly into the converter area.
  • File picker: Click the upload area, then select multiple files at once using Ctrl+Click (Windows) or Cmd+Click (Mac).

The converter accepts as many files as you need in a single batch.

Step 3: Choose Your Output Format

Pick the format that fits your needs:

  • JPG – The most widely compatible option. Ideal for sharing via email, social media, or printing.
  • PNG – Best for images where you need lossless quality or transparency.
  • WebP – A modern format that offers smaller files than JPG with comparable quality, great for web use.

Step 4: Adjust Quality Settings

Use the quality slider to balance file size and image quality. A setting of 85-92% works well for most use cases, giving you excellent visual quality while keeping file sizes manageable. Lower values produce smaller files, which can be useful when you need to email many images or save storage space.

Step 5: Convert and Download

Click the convert button and the tool processes all files right in your browser. Once finished, you can download each converted image individually or use the ZIP download option to get all converted files in a single archive. The ZIP download is especially convenient for large batches since you get one tidy file instead of dozens of separate downloads.

Privacy Advantage of Browser-Based Batch Conversion

Unlike server-based converters that upload every single photo to a remote server, our tool processes all files locally on your device. When you batch convert 200 vacation photos, none of them ever leave your computer. This is particularly important for personal or sensitive images.

Tips for Best Results

  • Organize before converting: Sort your HEIC files into folders first so you can convert them in logical batches.
  • Use JPG for general sharing: When in doubt, JPG is the safest choice because it works on every device and platform.
  • Keep the originals: Store your original HEIC files as an archive since they offer better quality at smaller sizes.
