What changes when you convert HEIC to JPEG
- HEIC can be transparent but JPEG cannot, so transparent areas are filled with solid white.
- Both formats are lossy, so converting re-compresses the picture once more. For the best quality, convert from your original file rather than from an already compressed copy.
- Expect a larger file with JPEG; it trades size for quality or features.

When to choose JPEG instead of HEIC
Choose JPEG for photos, social media, email and web pages where small file size matters. Its main limit: it has no transparency, and saving a JPG again and again slowly lowers quality.
Stay with HEIC if you need saving iPhone photos in roughly half the space of a JPG.
