Converting HEIC to JPEG for Amazon Product Images

Updated July 17, 2026 · 9 min read

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and not every site accepts it. Marketplace images need enough resolution for zoom while still uploading reliably through seller tools.

Recommended settings for Amazon product images

SettingStarting point
FormatJPEG (WebP where accepted)
Widthabout 2000 px on the long edge
Quality78
File size500 KB or less

These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.

Converting HEIC to JPEG

When you pick photos through the browser file picker, iOS usually converts them to JPEG automatically. On other systems, open the HEIC in your photo app and export as JPEG.

Once you have a JPEG, compress it to around 500 KB for Amazon product images. JPEG is accepted almost everywhere.

Step by step with TheCompressJPEG

  1. Open the compress JPEG to 500 KB tool, or the main compressor for custom settings.
  2. Drop in your image. Nothing is uploaded; it is processed in your browser.
  3. Set the maximum width to 2000 and the target size to 500 KB.
  4. Press Compress, check the result and download it.

Quick tips

  • Use WebP where it is supported and you control the page.
  • Never re-compress an already compressed JPEG if you can avoid it.
  • Strip metadata from images you share publicly.
  • Always keep the original file and compress a copy.

FAQ

Will compressing reduce image quality for e-learning courses?

Some detail is removed, but at sensible settings the difference is not visible at normal viewing size.

How do I compress many images for e-learning courses at once?

Drop all of them into the tool together and use Download all to get a single ZIP.

What JPEG quality should I use for e-learning courses?

Quality around 78 keeps photos looking natural while cutting file size substantially.

Wrapping up

For Amazon product images, the reliable recipe is simple: resize to around 2000 pixels, compress at quality 78 or to a 500 KB target, and check the result before you upload. Keep the original so you can always start again.
