How to Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to JPG Format
April 17, 2026
Can't open photos from your iPhone on your computer? That's because Apple uses HEIC format. This guide explains what HEIC is and how to easily convert it to JPG.
## What Is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) has been Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. HEIC offers 50% smaller file sizes than JPG while maintaining the same quality. However, Windows, Android, and many websites don't support this format.
## Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
- **Windows compatibility:** Windows PCs can't open HEIC files by default
- **Web sharing:** Many websites and forums only accept JPG
- **Email:** HEIC files can't be viewed in some email clients
- **Printing:** Photo printing services typically require JPG format
