Doing More Than Converting?
Aftershoot helps you take your photos from good to wow—fast culling, editing, retouching, and delivering client-ready galleries without the hassle.
Why Convert High Efficiency Image Coding (HEIC) to Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)?
HEIC uses modern High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression to keep files small with great quality, but this format isn’t yet widely supported outside Apple devices. Many editing platforms, email clients, and social media sites struggle to open or display HEIC images properly.
Converting to JPEG solves these problems by delivering:
- Maximum compatibility:JPEG works everywhere—from web browsers to client devices—without format support issues.
- Smaller file sizes:Critical for email deliverability and fast gallery loading, especially for clients with slow internet.
- SEO performance benefits:Faster-loading JPEGs improve Core Web Vitals scores, boosting your photography website’s Google ranking.
- Balanced image quality:JPEG compression reduces file size while maintaining enough photo detail for client proofs and web display.

How to Convert HEIC to JPG Without Losing Quality
Choose the right tools and settings to convert HEIC files to JPG while keeping your images sharp, accurate, and true to the original.
- Use a lossless converter: Choose a tool that converts HEIC to JPG without additional compression, so image quality remains identical to the original file.
- Preserve metadata and color profiles: Ensure the converter keeps metadata and color information intact to maintain accurate colors and important photo details.
- Export at the highest resolution: Always select the maximum resolution during conversion to keep your JPG just as sharp and detailed as the HEIC image.
How Do I Avoid Common Quality Issues When Converting HEIC to JPG?
Prevent quality loss by converting once, preserving metadata, and keeping color profiles consistent throughout the conversion process.
- Minimize image degradation: Start with the highest-quality HEIC file available, convert it to JPG in a single step, and avoid repeatedly re-saving or re-editing the same JPG, which can introduce artifacts, banding, and softness.
- Preserve EXIF metadata: Use a converter that keeps EXIF metadata such as camera settings, capture time, and location, ensuring your images remain searchable and consistent in your workflow.
- Maintain color profile consistency: Choose a converter that respects embedded color profiles, especially for wide-gamut HEIC files, so colors remain accurate across JPG exports and different devices.
HEIC vs JPG at a glance
| HEIC | JPEG |
|---|---|
| Modern (small size, high quality) | Lossy (smaller size, slight quality tradeoff) |
| No | No |
| Smaller (optimized by Apple) | Even smaller (web-friendly) |
| Apple devices, original storage | Web sharing, client proofs |
| Limited outside Apple ecosystem | Universal |
JPEG trades minor quality for speed and compatibility. HEIC saves space, but limits sharing.
