Why Convert HEIF/HEIC to JPG?
HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) and its common variant HEIC (used by Apple devices) offer excellent compression and quality, often storing images at roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPG. However, JPG (JPEG) remains the most universally compatible image format across different devices, operating systems, and web platforms. Converting HEIF/HEIC to JPG ensures your images can be viewed and shared anywhere without compatibility issues.

About HEIF/HEIC and JPG Formats
| Feature | HEIF/HEIC | JPG/JPEG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression Efficiency | High (Smaller file sizes for similar quality) | Good (but generally larger than HEIF) |
| Compatibility | Limited (Native on newer Apple/some Android, requires codecs elsewhere) | Universal |
| Features | Supports transparency, sequences (Live Photos), depth maps, etc. | Primarily static images (no transparency) |
| Typical Use | Default format on iPhones/iPads | Web images, digital photography |
Our converter takes your HEIF or HEIC file and transforms it into a standard JPG image, making it viewable and usable anywhere, though features like Live Photos or depth information specific to HEIF will not be carried over to the static JPG format.

Frequently Asked Questions (HEIF/HEIC to JPG)
What's the difference between HEIF and HEIC?
HEIF is the file format standard. HEIC is Apple's implementation, typically indicating that the image data within the HEIF container is compressed using the HEVC (H.265) video codec. For conversion purposes, they are often treated similarly. Our tool handles both `.heif` and `.heic` files.
Will I lose quality converting HEIF/HEIC to JPG?
Both HEIF/HEIC and JPG are lossy formats (usually). Converting between lossy formats can potentially introduce some minor quality degradation. However, our converter uses high-quality settings for the JPG output to minimize any noticeable difference while ensuring compatibility.
What happens to Live Photos or image sequences?
JPG is a static image format. If your HEIC file contains a Live Photo (a short video clip along with the still image), only the main still image will be converted to JPG. The motion aspect will be lost.
Why are my converted JPG files larger than the original HEIC files?
This is expected. HEIF/HEIC uses more advanced compression technology (HEVC) than the older JPG standard. To achieve similar visual quality, JPG typically requires a larger file size.
