About HEIF → JPG conversion
HEIF — High Efficiency Image Format — is the MPEG container standard that Apple's HEIC builds on. The two formats are technically the same: HEIC is just Apple's specific extension for HEIF files compressed with the HEVC (H.265) codec. You will see plain .heif files coming out of certain Android phones, mirrorless cameras (Canon, Sony, Panasonic), and some pro photo workflows that target the open standard rather than the Apple-flavoured variant.
The catch is identical to HEIC: outside the Apple ecosystem and a handful of modern cameras, .heif support is patchy. Windows requires the free HEIF Image Extensions; many Android galleries refuse to display HEIF; older Photoshop, Lightroom, online photo printers, web upload forms, and email previewers reject the format with a generic "unsupported" error.
Converting HEIF to JPG fixes the problem permanently. JPG is the lowest-common-denominator photo format — every operating system, every print service, every browser, every messaging app, every email client opens it. At our default 92% quality, the visual difference between the source HEIF and the converted JPG is imperceptible to the human eye, while you regain universal compatibility.

Tips: For print or archival workflows, leave quality at 92–95% to preserve every nuance. For social and email sharing, drop to 85% to roughly halve the file size with no visible loss. If your destination workflow needs transparency or pixel-perfect graphics, convert to PNG instead of JPG — Converter.Plus exposes both targets. The whole pipeline runs in your browser via the same WebAssembly HEIF decoder we use for HEIC; nothing is uploaded.
