Why Convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format, offering excellent quality at smaller file sizes. However, when sharing photos via email, social media, or with Windows users, JPG/JPEG remains the universal standard.

JPG files are compatible with virtually every device, browser, website, and application - making them ideal for sharing and uploading.

JPG vs JPEG: What's the Difference?

Nothing! JPG and JPEG are exactly the same format. The only difference is the file extension length. Older Windows systems limited extensions to 3 characters, hence ".jpg" instead of ".jpeg". Both produce identical files.

Is JPG the same as JPEG?
Yes! JPG and JPEG are identical formats. The only difference is the file extension (.jpg vs .jpeg). Both produce the same file type with the same compression.
Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so there is technically some quality reduction. However, at 90% quality (our default), the difference is imperceptible to the human eye while achieving significantly smaller file sizes.
Should I convert to JPG or PNG?
Choose JPG for photos you want to share, email, or upload to social media - the files are smaller and upload faster. Choose PNG if you need perfect quality, transparency support, or plan to edit the image. Use our PNG converter for lossless conversion.

Yes! Our converter supports batch conversion. Select multiple HEIC files and convert them all to JPG simultaneously. Multiple files are downloaded as a ZIP archive.
Why are my iPhone photos HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple uses HEIC as the default format because it offers better compression while maintaining quality. You can change this in Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible to save as JPG, but you'll use more storage. Learn more about why iPhone uses HEIC.
