Starting with iOS 11, iPhones save pictures in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it creates photos with approximately 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
However there is a major catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric file type not broadly compatible beyond the Apple environment. Windows PCs, Android devices and most online services cannot display HEIC photos with no additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images usable on all devices. Frequent cases website that require conversion include sending iPhone photos to non-Apple users, posting pictures to websites without support for HEIC.
Mac users enjoy the simplest conversion path. Simply open the HEIC photo in Preview, go to File, then Export and choose JPEG as the file type.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle HEIC to JPG conversion without any setup. Add the HEIC image and download the resulting JPG.
