How do I get my iphone to save as jpg?

It seems to me you've failed to correctly identify the issue. It's not .JPG vs .JPEG. It's that iPhones now capture photos in a high-efficiency format by default; your client prefers the JPEG format; and you haven't gone into the Settings on your iPhone to tell it to use JPEG.

I suggest that you change your Settings, following the instructions in:

Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices - Apple Support

"Though capturing in HEIF and HEVC format is recommended, you can set these devices to capture media using the older formats, which are more broadly compatible with other devices and operating systems"

In Settings > Camera, you have to turn ProRAW & Resolution Control off. And, you must choose Most Compatible before it will shoot JPEG.

The text right under those two choices clearly states: Most Compatible will always use JPEG/H.264.

The latter (H.264) being for video.

It seems to me the important issue is this - you want to keep the client happy. The client wants photos in .jpg format. It's not up to us to criticize your client. Here is how to solve the issue.

1. Open Settings > Camera > Formats. Scroll down to select Most compatible. This will save any future photos in .jpeg format.
2. Then, as Kurt Lang suggested, change the extension on the photo from .jpeg to .jpg before sending it to your client.

Then the staff at Getty is hopeless.

This is the same place that thinks the nearly obsolete EPS format is still the gold standard. This is the same place that doesn't actually sell vector art, even though that's what they call it.

See for yourself. Go to their vector art section. Select an image. Any image. Then ask yourself; if these are vector, why are they listed as 300 dpi? Why is there more than one price point? A truly vector image has no resolution. There would only be one "size" to sell as vector is infinitely scalable.

Personally, I wouldn't even work with a company this computer illiterate.

And I just changed the settings on my iPhone 14 Pro to shoot JPEG instead of RAW. Files are named with a .JPG extension (as seen in Image Capture on my Mac so can see the actual file name).

If I copy the file directly from my phone to the desktop, that is the name of the file. It doesn't change to .jpeg, or whatever.

So, what exactly are they complaining about?

If you’re using Apple Photos app, you’re not export the file correctly. Please review the screenshot below.

Export via share sheet (see red arrow) in Apple Photos app.

Make sure file to be exported is selected (check mark), and click Option drop down.

Select Most Compatible (JPEG/jpg) for export. Then select destination for export.

A .jpeg file is exactly the same as a .jpg file. The only difference is the use of a four letter extension rather than three.

That your client doesn't appear to know this doesn't say much for their computer skills.

Were you testing the settings change with photos taken after you made it?

Changing the settings tells the phone to use a different format for new photos – but does not cause any format conversion of existing ones.

By the way, JPEG is the actual name of the older, more compatible format.

JPEG is an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the group which developed the standard. The fact that people use either .jpg or .jpeg as the extension for a JPEG file may have something to do with the limitations of MS-DOS, which only supported three-character filename extensions.

The fact that people use either .jpg or .jpeg as the extension for a JPEG file may have something to do with the limitations of MS-DOS, which only supported three-character filename extensions.

That's exactly where it's from. Go back to the days of MS-DOS and huuuuggge 30 MB hard drives. It was inconceivable at the time that the system could possibly need more than 54,872 possible three character file name extensions (and that doesn't include one or two character extensions developers often used, if it had an extension at all).

The file names themselves were limited to 12 characters. A maximum of 8 characters, separated by a dot (which counted as one), and maximum of 3 characters after that.

Microsoft added the four character extension beginning with Windows 95.

I went back as far as 2011 and images I captured with iPhones going that far back have the jpeg file extension.

Microsoft updated long ago and can use 4 character extensions.

I suspect the issue is you accidentally sent some HEIF files, possibly mixed with jpeg files, and Getty rejected the entire upload.

Very sorry, HulaRider. I didn't even think to ask which model phone you have. Only the Pro models ProRAW options. They also take photos with much truer color than the non-pro models.

That still doesn't explain why it's saving the files in the .png format when the settings info itself tells you straight out JPEG will be used.

But ShutterStock is an excellent substitution. I used to get a lot of stock images from them.

I can't guess what's going on at Getty. For a long time, they were the name in image sourcing. But someone there isn't keeping the place up with the rest of the world. And it's quite literally fraud to offer and sell "vector" images that are actually raster.

Same thing. If they're coming from Getty named something like:

cats.jpeg

Then all you need to do is rename the file as:

cats.jpg

before sending it to the client.
