Converting HEIC to JPEG for Insurance Claims
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and not every site accepts it. Claim portals ask for photo evidence, and several clear, compact images upload more reliably than a few huge ones.
Recommended settings for insurance claims
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 300 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 300 KB for insurance claims. JPEG is accepted almost everywhere.
