About HEIC photos
What HEIC is
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It is a HEIF file holding HEVC (H.265) compressed images, which makes a photo roughly half the size of a JPG of similar quality. Files end in .heic, occasionally .heif.
Why Windows and many websites can't open it
Windows needs two Microsoft Store add-ons, HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions, before it can show HEIC, and the HEVC one usually costs money. Chrome, Edge and Firefox don't display HEIC on web pages, so many upload forms reject it. Safari on Mac, iPhone and iPad reads HEIC natively, and in Safari this page converts without loading anything extra.
Make your iPhone save JPG instead
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG (and videos as H.264); photos you already took stay HEIC. To keep the smaller HEIC files on the phone and get JPGs only on your computer, leave High Efficiency on and set Transfer to Mac or PC to Automatic under Settings > Apps > Photos (Settings > Photos before iOS 18). Photos copied over a USB cable are then converted to JPG.
Choosing format and quality
JPG at quality 85 to 92 looks the same as the HEIC for nearly every photo; 90 is the default here. Expect the JPG to be bigger than the HEIC, often close to twice the size, because JPG compression is older and less efficient. PNG is lossless but makes photos several times larger, so use it only when an app requires it. WebP files are smaller than JPG at the same quality, but some older programs can't open them.
