What is HEIC Format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). Apple adopted HEIC as the default photo format on iPhones and iPads starting with iOS 11 in 2017. HEIC files typically have .heic or .heif extensions and offer approximately 50% better compression than JPEG while maintaining similar visual quality.
What is JPG Format?
JPG (also known as JPEG) is the most widely used image format in the world. Developed in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPG uses lossy compression to reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable visual quality. It's universally supported across all devices, browsers, and applications, making it the go-to format for sharing photos.
How to Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows
Windows 10 and Windows 11 can open some HEIC files after installing Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions, but sharing those files still causes compatibility problems. This browser converter works on Windows without uploading your photos: select your HEIC files, convert them to JPG, then use the JPG copies in email, websites, documents, and older apps.
How to Convert HEIC to JPG on iPhone
On iPhone, HEIC is the default photo format when High Efficiency camera capture is enabled. You can use UnHEIC in Safari to convert existing HEIC photos, or change future photos to JPEG in Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible. Use the converter when you only need JPG copies of selected photos.
