Starting with iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
But there is a important 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 special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential action which makes iPhone photos universally shareable. Frequent cases that require conversion include transferring images to PC users, uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest conversion path. Just open the HEIC image in Preview, navigate to File, then Export click here and choose JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG conversion with no software installation. Add the HEIC file and save the finished JPG.
