Starting with iOS 11, iPhones store photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is highly efficient: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while maintaining great image quality.
But there is a significant issue. HEIC is an Apple-specific format that is not widely supported away from the Apple devices. Windows computers, Android devices and most web platforms cannot display HEIC images without additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the necessary step making iPhone pictures universally shareable. Frequent cases needing conversion are sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, adding images to websites incompatible with HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest method. Open the HEIC image in Preview, go 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 get the converted JPG.
