Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is highly efficient: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping excellent visual 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 online services cannot display HEIC images without special programs.
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 social media without support for HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest method. Just open the HEIC image in Preview, go to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the get more info format.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Select the HEIC file and get the converted JPG.
