How to Convert HEIC to JPG
1. Upload Your HEIC Files
Go to watermarkly.com > Tools > Convert to JPG.
Once the app’s window shows up, import the files that you want to convert from HEIC to JPG. If you are on a computer or a laptop, you can simply drag and drop your files into the app. Alternatively, you can use the “Select Files” button to import your files; this can be done on all kinds of devices.
Also, the app allows you to upload images from some popular cloud storages. To do this, select the cloud storage that you need, allow our app to access your files, then select the images that you want to convert.
2. Pick the Settings Options
In the File Format menu, the only available option will be JPG, since that’s the format you’re converting to. For image quality, you can choose from three settings: Maximum, Average, or Decent. If needed, you can also enter custom pixel dimensions for your converted images.
You can also control how your JPG files are named. Open Additional options and look for Rename Files. There, you can keep the original filename, add a suffix, or rename your files completely.
3. Convert & Download
Once all the options are selected in the settings, click the “Convert files” button and wait for the app to convert your files. Finally, download your JPGs right to your device.
Our HEIC to JPG converter also allows you to import converted images into one of the supported cloud storage services.
HEIC to JPG Converter: Available Settings
Our HEIC to JPG converter allows you to choose what image quality and file size your JPGs should approximately have.
Here are the three options that are available to you:
- Average quality and medium size. Here, you will get converted images of good quality that’s quite similar to the originals. The file size will be rather manageable, as well. If you need a good balance between image quality and file size, this is the option for you.
- Maximum quality and large size. Go for this option if you need high image quality. Our free HEIC to JPG converter will do its best to maintain the same quality as the originals, if not better. What you need to keep in mind, though, is that this option will also give you images of quite a large file size. Plus, the conversion process might be a little slow.
- Average quality and small size. Here, our app will change the format as well as compress your files. Please note that JPEG compression might have a slight effect on image quality. In other words, your images might have a negligibly worse quality than with the other two options. But at the same time, they will have a smaller file size. This is a great option for everyone who wants their JPGs to occupy as little storage space as possible.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG
HEIC is a modern image format with plenty of benefits. It offers efficient compression, strong image quality at smaller file sizes, and features like transparency.
However, when it comes to compatibility, JPG (JPEG) is the clear winner. JPG works almost everywhere without requiring extra plug-ins or special software. If you want to share your images easily and avoid file format issues, JPG is often the best choice.
Here are the key advantages JPG has over HEIC:
Widespread support
JPEG has been around much longer than HEIC, so it’s supported by almost every device, browser, operating system, app, and image editor. HEIC support is still limited and is most common on Apple devices.
That can cause problems if you use a mix of devices. On top of that, not every platform accepts HEIC uploads. For instance, Instagram doesn’t support HEIC.
HEIC may become more popular over time, but for now, converting HEIC to JPG is often the easiest way to share, view, and edit your images without issues.
Easier Compression & Editing
HEIC uses newer compression methods, but they’re also more complex than JPG’s. That can make HEIC files harder to work with, especially “multi-image” HEIC files (for example, a file that contains several photos), which not all apps and editors can process.
If you need to compress or edit an image, JPG is usually the easier option. With JPG, you can typically choose the compression level and control the balance between file size and image quality. HEIC doesn’t always offer the same flexibility.
Best for Websites & Online Sharing
HEIC can deliver excellent image quality at a smaller file size, which sounds ideal for website visuals. However, uploading HEIC files to a website is usually a bad idea because many visitors won’t be able to view them without installing extra plug-ins or using special software.
That’s why JPG is still the standard on the web. JPEG files can be larger than HEIC, but with the right compression, you can reduce the size without noticeably hurting quality.
