Starting with iOS 11, iPhones store photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates photos 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 environment. Windows computers, Android devices and most online services cannot display HEIC images without special programs.
Changing HEIC to JPG is the essential action which makes iPhone photos usable on all devices. Frequent cases that require website conversion include transferring images to PC users, uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have a simple conversion path. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select JPEG as the file type.
On Windows, browser-based tools manage HEIC to JPG converting with no setup. Add the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
