How to Convert HEIC to JPG Privately
Most "free HEIC to JPG" sites upload your photos to a server. If your photos are personal, that is a privacy problem. ImageMint converts HEIC inside your browser using a WebAssembly decoder — nothing is sent anywhere.

Open HEIC ConverterStep-by-Step Guide
- 1
Drop your .heic / .heif files
You can drop a single photo or a whole AirDrop bundle. ImageMint detects the HEIC magic bytes and routes the file through a local decoder.
- 2
Choose JPG (or WebP for smaller files)
JPG quality 90 is the safe default — visually identical to the HEIC original. WebP at quality 82 is ~30% smaller and supported by all modern browsers.
- 3
Verify the network panel is silent
Open DevTools → Network. Convert a file. You will see zero outbound image requests. That is the proof your photos never left your device.
Pro Tips
- ImageMint automatically rotates the image based on EXIF orientation, so portrait photos stay portrait.
- Strip GPS by toggling "Remove metadata" before converting. This protects your home location when sharing.
- For large families, Live Photos' .heic files store only the still frame. The accompanying .mov is ignored automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I trust that nothing is uploaded?
Open your browser DevTools, go to the Network tab, and watch while you convert. ImageMint makes zero outbound requests with your file content. Source code is also open for inspection.
What about my EXIF data?
By default ImageMint copies orientation only and discards GPS, camera, and timestamp data. You can turn this off if you want to preserve everything, or use the Metadata Viewer to inspect it before converting.
Does this work on iPhone Safari?
Yes. iOS Safari can decode HEIC natively, so conversion is even faster on iPhones than on desktop browsers.
