Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping excellent visual quality.
But there is a significant issue. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not widely supported outside the Apple devices. Windows computers, 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. 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 conversion with no software installation. Add the HEIC file website and save the converted JPG.
