Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates photos with approximately 50 percent less storage of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
Yet there is a important problem. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format that is not universally accepted away from the Apple environment. Windows PCs, Android devices and most online services do read more not support HEIC files lacking special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential 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.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Just open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG converting with no setup. Add the HEIC photo and save the finished JPG.
