Since iOS 11, iPhones store pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Format — is a great format: it produces images with approximately 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping high photo quality.
Yet there is a major catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric format that is not widely supported outside the Apple ecosystem. PC users, non-Apple phones and most online services do not support HEIC images with no additional software.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the essential step making iPhone images usable on all devices. Frequent cases needing conversion involve transferring images to PC users, uploading photos to social media without support for HEIC.
People with Macs have the easiest process. Simply open the HEIC file in Preview, select File, then Export and choose JPEG as the output format.
For Windows users, online conversion tools manage HEIC to JPG converting with no software installation. Select the HEIC file website and get the resulting JPG.
