Frequently asked questions

What are the limits of HEIC to JPG?

JPEG is lossy. This is not a Live Photo video export or a guarantee of HDR fidelity. A JPG may be larger than its HEIC source.

How should I check the HEIC to JPG result?

Keep the HEIC original. Embedded EXIF and ICC metadata may be preserved, so conversion is not metadata removal. Check the actual file format if decoding fails.
