Why do iPhone photos use HEIC?

HEIC compresses photos more efficiently than JPG, saving storage space. Since not all apps and devices support it, converting to JPG improves compatibility.

Does this work with Live Photos?

This converts the still image only. Live Photo motion and audio are not carried over to the JPG output.

Is there a file size limit?

You can convert images up to 25 MB per file.
