From iOS 11 onwards, iPhones save images in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is technically impressive: it generates pictures with roughly half the storage of similar JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
However there is a significant catch. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type which is not widely supported outside the Apple devices. Windows computers, Android phones and most web platforms cannot display HEIC images with no additional check here software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the necessary step making iPhone pictures universally shareable. Frequent cases needing conversion are sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, adding images to social media without support for 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.
On Windows, online conversion tools process HEIC to JPG conversion requiring no software installation. Add the HEIC file and save the converted JPG.
