Starting with iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates images with approximately 50 percent less storage of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
But there is a important issue. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not widely supported outside the Apple devices. PC users, Android phones and most web platforms cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios 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. Just open the HEIC file in Preview, website navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the format.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no downloads. Select the HEIC image and get the converted JPG.
