Will I lose image quality when converting from HEIC to JPG?

JPG is a lossy compression format, so there will always be some degree of data loss compared to the original HEIC, especially if the HEIC was stored losslessly or with very high quality. However, by using the quality slider, you can control the trade-off. At high quality settings (e.g., 90+), the visual difference is often negligible for typical use cases. HEIC itself can also be lossy.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files to JPG at once (batch conversion)?

This specific tool is designed for converting one HEIC file at a time. For batch HEIC to JPG conversion, you might need a dedicated batch processing tool, or this feature could be added in the future.
