What changes when you convert HEIC to JPG
- HEIC can be transparent but JPG 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 JPG; it trades size for quality or features.
