Convert HEIC to JPEG
What is HEIC?
HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) uses HEVC (H.265) compression for approximately 50% better compression than JPG while maintaining similar quality. Part of HEIF standard (ISO/IEC 23008-12). Supports transparency, animation, multiple images, and metadata. Default format for iOS photos since iPhone 7. Maximum resolution 65,536×65,536 pixels. Requires royalty-bearing codec licenses.
- HEIC uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Lossless source ensures maximum quality for JPEG conversion
- Alpha channel transparency requires background color for JPEG conversion
- Modern format—requires up-to-date software for compatibility
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses lossy DCT-based compression, optimized for photographs with millions of colors. Supports 24-bit color depth. Quality vs size tradeoff adjustable via compression level. No transparency support. EXIF metadata for camera data. Universal web and camera format. Converting between image formats preserves or re-encodes pixel data.
- JPEG uses lossy compression for efficient image storage
- Lossy compression means conversion to HEIC preserves but cannot restore quality
- Opaque image data converts to HEIC without utilizing transparency features
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
- Supports 24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors)
