JPG · sharing and everyday photos
Use JPG when a form, email service or photo lab will not accept HEIC. Start at the converter’s default 80% quality, inspect faces, fine text and shadow detail at full size, then adjust. A quality value is an encoder setting, not a percentage of original detail retained.
- A higher quality setting usually makes the file larger. If an upload has a strict limit, try a smaller maximum dimension as well as a lower quality setting; fine detail will be reduced.
- Download once and reuse that result rather than repeatedly re-saving JPGs. Keep the HEIC separately for future editing. JPG does not support transparency.
