The two formats

HEIF: High Efficiency Image File Format (ISO/IEC 23008-12)

The container behind HEIC. Samsung and other Android phones, and some cameras, save .heif files; most hold HEVC-compressed photos just like an iPhone’s .heic.

JPG: JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918-1)

The universal photo format. Lossy compression in 8×8 pixel blocks, no transparency, opens absolutely everywhere.

In the Samsung Camera app open Settings → Advanced picture options (or Formats) and turn off “High efficiency pictures”. New photos are then saved as JPG.

Is HEIF to JPG conversion lossy?
