What is a JPEG file?
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in the world. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed the standard in the early 1990s. JPEG files use lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
They are ideal for photos and web use but not for images that need frequent editing or high precision, as repeated saves degrade quality.
How to open JPEG files
JPEG files are universally supported. You can open them on any device — computer, tablet, or phone — with built-in apps or web browsers. Most photo editors also support JPEG natively.
If you want to convert JPEG to another format or resize it, AnyConv offers a fast and easy solution directly online.

What is a HEIC file?
HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Container. It’s a modern image file format developed by Apple in 2017 as part of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard. HEIC uses advanced compression to store high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to older formats like JPG. This format became widely known with the release of iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra.
HEIC supports a range of features, such as 16-bit color depth, transparency, and even storing image sequences or bursts — making it ideal for Live Photos on Apple devices. It's efficient, but not yet universally supported.
How to open HEIC files
HEIC files are natively supported on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Windows 10 and 11 can also open them with additional codecs available via the Microsoft Store. For Linux or unsupported apps, third-party tools and online converters like AnyConv can help.
For broader compatibility, many users convert HEIC images to JPG or PNG when sharing with others or uploading online.
