Starting with iOS 11, iPhones have saved pictures in HEIC file format by default setting. HEIC — Apple's HEIC format — is highly efficient: it generates pictures with roughly half the storage of similar JPEGs while keeping great image quality.
However there is a major catch. HEIC is an Apple-centric file type which is not broadly compatible outside the Apple ecosystem. PC users, Android phones and many websites cannot open HEIC photos with no additional software.
Converting HEIC to JPG is the critical process that makes iPhone images compatible everywhere. Common scenarios where this becomes a problem involve sharing photos to Windows users, posting pictures to online platforms that do not 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. Upload the HEIC photo and download the resulting JPG.
