From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones save images in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is technically impressive: it produces pictures with roughly half the storage of similar JPEGs maintaining high photo quality.
However there is a major catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric file type which is not broadly compatible outside the Apple ecosystem. PC users, Android phones and many websites cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios where this click here becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have the easiest process. Simply open the HEIC photo in Preview, select File, then Export and select JPEG as the output format.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle HEIC to JPG converting without any setup. Upload the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
