Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos in HEIC file format by standard. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it generates pictures with roughly half the file size of similar JPEGs maintaining high photo quality.
Yet there is a important issue. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format that is not widely supported away from the Apple devices. Windows computers, Android phones and most web platforms cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
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 PC users, uploading photos to online platforms without support for HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Just open the HEIC image in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the format.
Windows PC users, online conversion tools process more info HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Select the HEIC file and download the resulting JPG.
