Starting with iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates images with approximately half the file size of equivalent JPEGs maintaining excellent visual quality.
Yet there is a major problem. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format not broadly compatible beyond the Apple devices. PC users, Android phones and many websites cannot open HEIC files with no extra apps.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the critical action that makes iPhone photos compatible everywhere. Common scenarios needing conversion include transferring images to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Simply open the HEIC file in get more info Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the format.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no downloads. Select the HEIC image and get the resulting JPG.
