Starting with iOS 11, iPhones store photos in HEIC file type by standard. HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container — is highly efficient: it creates images with approximately half the storage of comparable JPEGs while maintaining excellent visual quality.
Yet there is a significant issue. HEIC is an Apple-proprietary format not widely supported away from the Apple environment. PC users, Android phones and most online services do not support HEIC photos without extra apps.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the necessary action that makes iPhone pictures usable on all devices. Common scenarios needing conversion include sharing photos to non-Apple users, uploading photos to online platforms without support for HEIC.
Apple Mac owners have the easiest method. Simply open the HEIC photo in Preview, navigate to File, then Export and select JPEG as the format.
On more info Windows, browser-based tools process HEIC to JPG converting requiring no software installation. Upload the HEIC file and download the converted JPG.
