Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC file format by default. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it generates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
But there is a important issue. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format that is not widely supported away from the Apple environment. Windows computers, Android devices and most online services cannot display HEIC images without special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential step making iPhone pictures universally shareable. Frequent cases needing conversion are sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, uploading photos to social media without support for read more HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest method. Just open the HEIC image in Preview, go to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the format.
Windows PC users, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Select the HEIC file and save the converted JPG.
