Submit files to /convert, poll the job endpoint, then download outputs programmatically.
JPG does not support alpha transparency. Transparent HEIC areas must be flattened onto a background color.
JPG output can introduce lossy compression. Keep a master file for repeated editing.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling.
Converting HEIC to JPG decodes the HEIC input and writes a JPG output for compatibility, sharing, editing, or delivery. JPG does not support alpha transparency. Transparent areas must be flattened onto a background color. JPG output can introduce lossy compression. Use quality/effort controls and avoid repeated exports. Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling; otherwise only a representative frame/page may be exported.
JPG quality is controlled by encoder settings. Lower quality reduces file size but can introduce blocking, ringing, and color banding.
Use JPG when compatibility and compact photo delivery matter. Convert to PNG only for lossless workflow compatibility; converting JPG to PNG does not restore detail already lost by JPEG compression.
Known metadata support: Exif, XMP, HEIF item properties, thumbnails, derived images.
Universal camera, OS, browser, and editing support.
JPG output can introduce lossy compression. Use quality/effort controls and avoid repeated exports.
JPG does not support alpha transparency. Transparent areas must be flattened onto a background color.
Metadata preservation depends on converter settings and target support. Strip GPS/camera metadata for privacy, but preserve ICC profiles when color accuracy matters.
Use JPG when its compatibility, compression, transparency, animation, or workflow behavior is a better fit than HEIC for the final use case.
The important settings are output dimensions, quality/compression mode, metadata handling, color-profile preservation, and background color when alpha must be flattened.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling; otherwise only a representative frame/page may be exported.
The target format may introduce lossy compression.
Metadata preservation depends on converter settings, privacy defaults, and target format support.
