Will the converted JPEG look exactly like my original HEIC photo?

At quality settings between 85 and 92, the JPEG will look the same on screen as the original HEIC, though the file size will typically be larger because HEIC compresses more efficiently.

Can I convert a Live Photo using this tool?

A Live Photo contributes only its still frame when converted; the animated video and editing history inside the HEIC wrapper are not carried across to the exported JPEG.

What should I do if my converted JPEG appears sideways?

Use the Rotate function in the editor before preparing and downloading the final JPG file.

Why does my iPhone still send HEIC files after using this converter?

If you continue receiving HEIC files, set your iPhone camera format to 'Most Compatible' in the Settings app to generate JPG files by default.
