Since iOS 11, iPhones save images in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is technically impressive: it produces images with roughly half the file size of similar JPEGs maintaining high photo quality.
Yet there is a major problem. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format that is not widely supported away from the Apple environment. 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 compatible everywhere. Common scenarios where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple process. Simply open the HEIC file in more info Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select 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 converted JPG.
