Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about converting HEIC to JPG
QWhat's the difference between JPG and JPEG?
There is no difference between JPG and JPEG formats. JPG is simply a shorter file extension for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). The shorter extension became common in early Windows systems that required three-letter file extensions. Both refer to the same image format and can be used interchangeably.
QWhy do iPhone and iPad photos save as HEIC instead of JPG?
Apple adopted the HEIC format starting with iOS 11 because it offers better compression than JPG, allowing photos to take up less storage space while maintaining similar or better quality. This helps users store more photos on their devices. However, this creates compatibility issues when sharing with non-Apple devices or older systems.
QHow do I know if my photo is in HEIC format?
You can identify HEIC files by looking at the file extension, which will be .heic. On macOS, you can also check the file info (Command+I), and on Windows, you can right-click and select Properties to see the file type. Most iPhone photos taken after iOS 11 are in HEIC format unless you've changed your camera settings.
QWill converting HEIC to JPG reduce the quality of my photos?
There may be a slight quality reduction when converting from HEIC to JPG since JPG uses lossy compression. However, our converter is optimized to maintain the highest possible quality while ensuring compatibility. For most everyday uses like viewing, sharing, and printing, the difference will be negligible.
QCan I convert multiple HEIC files to JPG at once?
Yes! Our converter supports batch processing, allowing you to select and convert multiple HEIC files simultaneously. After conversion, you can download each JPG individually or get all converted images in a single ZIP archive for convenience.
