Everything You Need to Know About HEIC
What Is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format, introduced with iOS 11. It stores images using the HEVC codec, delivering roughly twice the compression of JPEG at the same visual quality — meaning sharper photos that take up less storage on your iPhone or iPad.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
While HEIC is efficient, it isn't universally supported. Converting to JPG ensures your photos open everywhere:
- Windows Photo Viewer & older software
- Social media platforms and email clients
- Web publishing and content management systems
- Android devices and non-Apple apps
JPG vs PNG vs WebP
Choose the right format for your use case:
- JPG— Best for photos. Smaller files, maximum compatibility.
- PNG— Best when you need transparency or lossless quality.
- WebP— Best for web use. Smaller than JPG with great quality.
