What is HEIC and Why Does Apple Use It?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's implementation of the HEIF standard, based on the HEVC video codec. Apple switched to HEIC in iOS 11 because it delivers similar visual quality to JPEG at roughly half the file size — saving precious storage on iPhones. The downside is compatibility: Windows, Android, and many web platforms don't natively support HEIC. Converting to JPG solves this instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert HEIC to JPG on Windows?

Yes. Use the free HEIC Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store, or open the photo in Paint and save as JPEG. Our tool also works for any image format your browser can display.

Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?

Slightly. JPEG is lossy, so there's minimal quality loss, but at 85% quality you won't notice any difference visually.

Why does my email app not support HEIC?

Most email clients and web services expect JPEG or PNG for maximum compatibility. Always convert to JPG before emailing photos taken on an iPhone.
