HEIC stands for High-Efficiency Image Container file, a new or next-generation container file format developed by Apple Inc. for new models of iPads and iPhones. The container format can store and transfer image sequences and individual digital images. A HEIC file or image covers rich multimedia files, including other media streams like video, audio, and time texts. The file format uses high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) to compress images, significantly saving space and bandwidth. HEIC advanced compression technology preserves image quality, resulting in small and high-quality photos compared to PNGs and JPEGs.
JPG is also called JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group. JPG image format is known for its ability to reduce the file size of an image while maintaining a reasonable level of quality, making it easier to share and store digital images. This is achieved through a lossy compression process, which discards some of the data in the original image. JPG is famous for photographs and web graphics because it balances file size and image quality.
To convert files from HEIC to JPG use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any HEIC photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the HEIC pics you want to convert.
After uploading the HEIC image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select JPG.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted JPG file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the JPG file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a HEIC file as a JPG file, you first convert it to JPG and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from HEIC to JPG, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the HEIC file, Download the JPG file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of JPG is its universal support in modern web browsers and various software applications, ensuring that images are accessible to a broad audience with minimal compatibility issues. JPG is reliable for compressing photographs and images where a small loss in quality is acceptable, offering a good balance between image quality and file size. The main disadvantage of HEIC is its limited support outside of Apple's ecosystem, which can create compatibility challenges. Therefore, converting HEIC images to more widely supported formats, such as JPG, can enhance accessibility and improve web performance due to smaller file sizes.
