What Is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It produces files ~50% smaller than JPEG at the same quality. However, it creates compatibility problems with Windows, websites, and non-Apple software. Converting to JPG makes photos universally compatible with every device, browser, and application.
When to Convert HEIC to JPG
iPhone users convert before sharing with Windows or Android users. Web developers convert for websites since no browser supports HEIC. Social media users convert for reliable platform uploads. Business users convert for Word documents and presentations. Photographers convert for design tools lacking HEIC support.
