Starting with iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it generates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
But there is a significant issue. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not widely supported away from the Apple devices. Windows computers, Android devices and most web platforms cannot display HEIC images without special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the necessary action which makes iPhone photos universally shareable. Frequent cases needing conversion are sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest method. Just open the HEIC image read more in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the format.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion with no software installation. Add the HEIC file and save the finished JPG.
