Starting with iOS 11, iPhones store photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates images with approximately 50 percent less storage of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
But 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 not support HEIC images with no additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG read more is the necessary step that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios 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 the easiest 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 HEIC to JPG converting without any setup. Upload the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
