Since iOS 11, iPhones have saved pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it creates photos with about 50 percent less storage of comparable JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
But there is a significant issue. 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 photos with no additional software.
Transforming HEIC to JPG is the necessary step that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to websites that do not free heic to jpg tool accept HEIC.
People with Macs have the easiest process. Simply open the HEIC photo in Preview, select File, then Export and select JPEG as the output format.
For Windows users, browser-based tools handle HEIC to JPG converting without any setup. Add the HEIC photo and download the finished JPG.
