How do I get my iphone to save as jpg?

My client only accepts photos from phone app, and requires all photos to be in jpg, NOT jpeg. All my photos are now in the H-whatever format and png, which are useless for my business.


If this cannot be resolved, I will have to buy an Android.

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 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"
