FAQ

Questions people ask about HEIC to JPG

Why convert HEIC to JPG?

HEIC is the default photo format on modern iPhones but is not supported everywhere. JPG is universally compatible, so HEIC to JPG is a common normalisation step for user-uploaded photos.

Will I lose quality?

Both formats are lossy, but at a high quality setting the visible difference is minimal. The main trade-off is that JPG files are usually larger than the original HEIC.

What happens to photo metadata?

EXIF and other metadata are stripped by default. Set strip_metadata to false if you need to preserve capture data such as orientation or timestamps.

Can I convert iPhone uploads automatically?

Yes. A typical pattern is to convert HEIC uploads to JPG through the API as they arrive, so the rest of your app only ever handles JPG.
