How HEIC to JPG works
Choose one HEIC or HEIF photo and Happytails.ai decodes its primary still image on your device with libheif, applies its orientation, and saves an 8-bit JPG at the quality you choose, 92 by default. Any transparent areas become white. Files can be up to 20 MiB and 40 megapixels, with neither side over 16,000 pixels. Original metadata such as camera and location details, HDR, depth data and any additional images in the file are not carried over.
Before you start
Keep your original HEIC file, especially if you rely on its metadata, HDR or depth data, and check that it is under 20 MiB.
A worked example
An 800 x 500 pixel HEIC test file decodes to an 800 x 500 primary image, so the JPG keeps the same dimensions; at the default quality of 92 you get a single converted.jpg file.

Common questions
Will the JPG keep my photo's location and camera data?
No. The converter writes a new image from the decoded pixels, so original metadata such as location, capture date and camera settings is not included. If you need those details, keep the HEIC original or copy the metadata with another tool after converting.
What JPEG quality should I choose?
Quality is a whole number from 1 to 100, and the default is 92. Higher values keep more detail and make larger files. For most photos, values in the 80s or 90s look close to the original; lower values shrink the file but can show blocky artifacts.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
No. This tool converts one file per run. Choose a file, convert it, download the JPG, then repeat for the next photo. Each file must be 20 MiB or smaller and at most 40 megapixels.
Why does my converted photo look less vivid?
The output is an 8-bit image, and HDR information in the HEIC is not preserved. Photos captured with HDR or a wide color range can therefore look flatter after conversion. Keep the original if you want to view it with full HDR on a supported device.
Does it convert every image inside a HEIC file?
No. A HEIC or HEIF file can hold more than one image, but only the primary still image is converted. Additional images and depth maps stored in the same file are left out. If you need a different image, export it from your photo app first.
