What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, based on HEIF) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG with similar quality. The catch: many Windows PCs, Android phones, older Macs, websites and online forms cannot open or accept HEIC files. Converting to JPG makes your photos work everywhere.
