Starting with iOS 11, iPhones store images in HEIC file format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is highly efficient: it creates images with about half the file size of similar JPEGs maintaining great image quality.
But there is a major issue. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary file type that is not universally accepted outside the Apple environment. PC users, Android devices and many websites cannot display HEIC photos without extra apps.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical step that makes iPhone pictures usable on all devices. Frequent cases where this click here becomes a problem are sharing photos to PC users, adding images to online platforms incompatible with HEIC.
People with Macs have a simple method. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, go to File, then Export and pick JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, web-based converters handle HEIC to JPG converting requiring no downloads. Upload the HEIC photo and save the converted JPG.
