From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones save photos in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it generates photos with approximately half the file size of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
But there is a significant problem. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not broadly compatible beyond the Apple ecosystem. Windows PCs, non-Apple phones and most read more online services do not support HEIC files lacking special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential action making iPhone pictures universally shareable. Common scenarios needing conversion are sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, adding images to websites incompatible with HEIC.
People with Macs have the easiest process. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG conversion with no software installation. Select the HEIC file and get the converted JPG.
