Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC file type by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is highly efficient: it produces photos with approximately half the storage of equivalent JPEGs maintaining excellent visual quality.
However there is a significant catch. HEIC is an Apple-specific format which is not universally accepted outside the Apple environment. PC users, Android devices and many websites do not support HEIC photos without additional software.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the necessary action making iPhone photos compatible everywhere. Typical situations needing conversion include sending iPhone photos to PC users, adding images to online platforms incompatible with HEIC.
Apple Mac owners enjoy the simplest process. Just open the more info HEIC photo in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and pick JPEG as the file type.
Windows PC users, browser-based tools process HEIC to JPG converting with no downloads. Add the HEIC file and download the converted JPG.
