What to expect
- This is a lossy re-encode of an already-compressed source, so it adds no quality and may slightly soften detail.
- HEIC features like HDR/10-bit color, depth maps and alpha aren't supported by JPG and are lost.
- At comparable visual quality, JPG files are usually larger than the original HEIC.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?
Slightly possible. HEIC uses efficient HEVC compression and the JPG is a second lossy pass, so the result looks visually similar but fine detail can soften a little.
Why convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC, the default on many iPhones, isn't supported everywhere, whereas JPG opens on every device, app and website, so converting avoids compatibility issues.
Where does the JPG open?
In any operating system's built-in viewer and in every web browser, with no extra software.
What is lost, and does the file grow?
JPG is typically larger than HEIC at similar quality, and HEIC extras such as 10-bit color, HDR gain maps, depth data and transparency are flattened or dropped.
