Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved photos in HEIC format by default. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is technically impressive: it generates pictures with about 50 percent less storage of equivalent JPEGs while maintaining high photo quality.
Yet there is a major catch. HEIC is an Apple-specific file type that is not widely supported away from the Apple environment. Windows PCs, non-Apple phones and many websites cannot open HEIC photos without special programs.
Changing HEIC to website JPG is the essential action that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios needing conversion are transferring images to PC users, uploading photos to online platforms that do not accept HEIC.
People with Macs have the easiest method. Open the HEIC image in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the file type.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle HEIC to JPG converting requiring no downloads. Select the HEIC file and save the finished JPG.
