FAQ
Will converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
A high-quality JPG export is visually near-identical for sharing, forms, and web use. Keep the original HEIC if you archive at maximum fidelity.
Why will my HEIC photo not open on Windows?
Windows often lacks HEIC/HEIF codecs out of the box. Converting to JPG sidesteps codecs entirely.
