Since iOS 11, iPhones store pictures in HEIC format by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is technically impressive: it creates pictures with roughly 50 percent less storage of similar JPEGs while keeping high photo quality.
But there is a major problem. HEIC is an Apple-specific format that is not broadly compatible beyond the Apple devices. Windows PCs, Android devices and many websites cannot display HEIC photos lacking special programs.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical action making iPhone images universally shareable. Common scenarios where this becomes a problem include sending iPhone photos to Windows more info users, uploading photos to social media incompatible with HEIC.
People with Macs have a simple conversion path. Open the HEIC photo in Preview, select File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG conversion with no setup. Upload the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
