Since iOS 11, iPhones save 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 high photo quality.
Yet there is a important problem. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format not universally accepted beyond the Apple environment. Windows PCs, non-Apple phones and most online services do not support HEIC files lacking extra apps.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images usable on all devices. Typical situations where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple process. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, select File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle read more HEIC to JPG converting without any setup. Upload the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
