Converting HEIC to JPEG for Job Portals
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and not every site accepts it. Recruitment sites usually limit photo and document sizes to keep their systems fast.
Recommended settings for job portals
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 800 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 70 |
| File size | 100 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 100 KB for job portals. JPEG is accepted almost everywhere.
