Before you convert
Compatibility over size
JPG is more widely supported, while HEIC can store similar quality in a smaller file.
Check metadata needs
Some apps depend on camera metadata. Review the output if location or device information matters.
What happens to your file
JPG cannot store transparency, so any RGBA, LA, or palette image is composited onto a solid white background first and then saved as RGB.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Engine | Pillow (Python Imaging Library) |
|---|---|
| Colour mode | RGB |
| Alpha channel | Flattened onto white |
What changes
- Your HEIC can hold transparency and JPG cannot. Transparent pixels become white — not "removed", but painted over. If you need the cutout to survive, stay on PNG, WebP, or AVIF.
