What Is a HEIC File?

HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Container. It’s the default image format used by Apple running iOS 11 and later, and macOS High Sierra and newer. When you snap a photo on your iPhone or iPad, it’s likely saved as a .heic file rather than the more familiar .jpg.

HEIC files use advanced compression to store high-quality images in smaller sizes. That means you can save more photos without using up as much storage, a big plus for mobile devices. Behind the scenes, HEIC is based on the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard and uses H.265 video compression to pack in more data per pixel than older formats.

Why Convert HEIC to JPG?

While HEIC is great for storage and quality, it’s not always easy to work with. Many Windows systems, older Android devices, websites, and even desktop software still don’t support HEIC natively. That’s where conversion becomes necessary.

Converting HEIC to JPG ensures compatibility across all devices, browsers, and tools. JPG is the universal image standard, it works everywhere. Whether you’re uploading a profile photo, sending an email attachment, collating images, or embedding images in a document, JPG is the go to default.
