Starting with iOS 11, iPhones save photos in HEIC file format by standard. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is technically impressive: it creates pictures with approximately 50 percent less storage of similar JPEGs while maintaining great image quality.
Yet there is a important catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric format which is not universally accepted away from the Apple ecosystem. Windows PCs, Android devices and many websites do not support HEIC images with no extra apps.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical action making iPhone images usable on all devices. Frequent cases where this becomes a problem involve transferring images to non-Apple users, posting pictures to social media incompatible with HEIC.
Apple Mac owners enjoy the simplest method. Simply open the HEIC image in Preview, go to File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
Windows PC users, browser-based tools manage HEIC to JPG conversion without any setup. Add the HEIC image and download the more info finished JPG.
