JPEG or JPG: is there a difference?
No. JPEG is the name of the format and .jpg is the short extension that older Windows versions needed. Both hold the same image, and every program that opens one opens the other. This converter saves files with the .jpg extension. If a form asks for .jpeg, rename the file after downloading, nothing else needs to change.
How to convert HEIC to JPEG
- Drop the .heic files on the box or choose them from your device.
- They are converted at full size as soon as they are added.
- Download each JPEG, or all of them in one ZIP. A file called IMG_4021.HEIC becomes IMG_4021.jpg.
Which file types work
| Extension | Where you see it | Converts here? |
|---|---|---|
| .heic | iPhone and iPad photos, Samsung and Pixel photos in HEIF mode | Yes |
| .heif | Some Android phones and cameras, Windows exports | Yes |
| .hif | Canon, Sony and Fujifilm cameras that shoot HEIF | Yes |
| .heics, .heifs | Image sequences and burst photos | First frame only |
Uppercase .HEIC is normal
Photos copied from an iPhone often arrive as IMG_1234.HEIC in capital letters. The converter does not care about the case of the extension.
