Since iOS 11, iPhones save pictures in HEIC file format by default. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is technically impressive: it creates photos with roughly 50 percent less storage of similar JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
However there is a significant catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric file type not universally accepted beyond the Apple environment. Windows PCs, Android devices and most online services cannot display HEIC images without special programs.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the necessary step making iPhone pictures compatible everywhere. Common scenarios where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do more info not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple process. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Select the HEIC file and get the converted JPG.
