Convert HEIF to JPEG
HEIF and JPEG are both lossy, so converting compresses the file again and loses a little more detail.
They open in the converter with JPEG selected.

What changes
Both formats are lossy. Converting decodes the file and compresses it again, so it loses a little more detail on top of what the original had already lost: the result is slightly worse than the file you started with.
The file gets larger: JPEG needs more space for the same content.
Your browser may not be able to open HEIF files, but the converter reads the file itself, so it can still convert it.
When it’s worth it
Choose JPEG for: Photos and camera exports. The same format as JPG, so it opens everywhere.
Stay with HEIF for: Modern cameras and mobile photo libraries.

Questions
Does converting HEIF to JPEG lose quality?
A little. Both formats are lossy, so the file is compressed again and loses a bit more detail.
What is the JPEG format?
Exactly the same format as JPG: the standard calls it JPEG, and .jpg is only its most common extension, alongside .jfif, .jpe and .jpg again in every camera. Underneath it’s still the same lossy DCT image without alpha.
What is the HEIF format?
The still image container standardized as ISO/IEC 23008-10, which isn’t a codec in itself: the images inside can be coded with HEVC, AV1 or JPEG. Apple uses it for HEIC, and it also supports animations, depth maps and alpha.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
