Does converting HEIC to JPG upload my photos?

No. The file stays in memory in this tab. A WASM build of libheif decodes HEIC locally, then the Canvas API writes a JPEG. There is no conversion API and no storage bucket.

Why do iPhone photos open as HEIC on Windows?

iOS saves High Efficiency Image Container by default. Windows, Gmail, and many CMS tools expect JPEG. This page turns the still image into a .jpg you can attach or upload elsewhere yourself.

Will JPG look worse than the original HEIC?

HEIC is more efficient at the same visual quality. Use the quality slider: 90 is a sensible default for sharing; 95–100 is closer to archival. The pixels are decoded once, then compressed as JPEG — there is no extra server recompress.
