Converting JPG to HEIC lets you take advantage of HEIC's approximately 50% smaller than jpeg at equivalent visual quality. JPG files (Joint Photographic Experts Group) can be converted to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) for better compatibility, smaller file sizes, or access to features that JPG does not support.
JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group, introduced in 1992) uses DCT-based lossy (baseline, progressive, or lossless) compression. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, introduced in 2015) uses HEVC (H.265) intra-frame compression. HEIC adds transparency support that JPG lacks, which is valuable for logos, icons, and overlay graphics. HEIC supports animation, unlike JPG. However, converting a static image will not create animation. JPG browser support: Universal. HEIC browser support: Limited (Safari only on macOS/iOS).
The quality impact depends on the specific settings used during conversion. HEIC uses compression that may affect quality depending on the chosen settings.
Typical JPG file size: A 12MP photo at quality 80: ~3-5 MB. Typical HEIC file size: A 12MP iPhone photo: ~1.5-2.5 MB.
For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
