Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates photos with approximately 50 percent less storage of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
But there is a important issue. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format that is not universally accepted away from the Apple environment. Windows PCs, Android devices and most online services do not support HEIC files without special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential action which makes iPhone photos usable on all devices. Frequent cases that require conversion include transferring images to PC users, more info uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Just open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, browser-based tools manage HEIC to JPG converting with no setup. Add the HEIC photo and save the finished JPG.
