## Overview

Convert HEIC and HEIF photos from Apple devices into widely compatible JPEG images. This tool allows you to customize the output quality, select chroma subsampling modes, set a background color for transparent layers, and choose whether to preserve metadata.

## Inputs

- **HEIC Image** (file)
- **JPEG Quality** (range)
- **Chroma Subsampling** (select)
- **Background Color** (color)
- **Preserve Safe Metadata** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to upload photos taken on an iPhone to websites or applications that only accept JPG files.
- When you want to share images with Windows or Android users who cannot open HEIC files natively.
- When you need to optimize image file sizes by adjusting JPEG compression quality and chroma subsampling.

## How it works

- Upload your HEIC or HEIF image file into the converter.
- Configure conversion settings including JPEG quality, chroma subsampling, background color, and metadata preservation.
- Click the convert button to decode the HEIC image and download the generated JPG file.

## Use cases

- Preparing iPhone photos for online job applications, government portals, or real estate listings that require JPG format.
- Converting HEIC images to JPG while preserving GPS and camera EXIF metadata for photography archives.
- Compressing large HEIC files into smaller, web-friendly JPEGs using custom chroma subsampling and quality levels.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I convert HEIC files with transparent backgrounds?

Yes, you can specify a custom background color to fill any transparent areas during the conversion to JPG.

### What does the chroma subsampling option do?

Choosing 4:4:4 preserves maximum color detail for high-quality images, while 4:2:0 reduces file size with minimal visible quality loss.

### Will my photo's EXIF metadata be saved?

Yes, checking the 'Preserve Safe Metadata' option keeps metadata like camera settings and date taken in the output JPG.

### What is the maximum file size supported?

The tool supports HEIC and HEIF files up to 100 MB.

### Does this tool support batch conversion?

No, this tool converts one HEIC image file at a time.
