From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones store images in HEIC file type by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is technically impressive: it produces images with approximately half the file size 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 many websites cannot open HEIC photos lacking extra apps.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the critical action which makes iPhone photos usable on all devices. Typical situations that require conversion include transferring images to PC users, uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
Mac users enjoy more info the simplest method. Open the HEIC photo in Preview, select File, then Export and pick JPEG as the output format.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle HEIC to JPG converting without any setup. Add the HEIC photo and save the finished JPG.
