From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones store photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is highly efficient: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
However there is a significant catch. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not broadly compatible outside the Apple devices. PC users, Android phones and many websites cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Typical situations where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG converting with no software installation. Add the HEIC more info photo and save the finished JPG.
