From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones save images in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is a great format: it produces images with approximately half the file size of equivalent 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 devices. Windows computers, Android phones and most web platforms cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Typical situations where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting website pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Just open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Select the HEIC file and get the converted JPG.
