Pros & Cons
Advantages
HEIC files are typically 50% smaller than equivalent JPG files while maintaining the same perceived quality.

A single HEIC file can store multiple images, making it perfect for Live Photos and burst shots.
Can store images with lossless compression when needed, unlike standard JPG.
Disadvantages
Not natively supported on Windows without additional codecs, and many older apps cannot read HEIC.
Primarily used by Apple devices, creating friction when sharing files with non-Apple users.
Most web browsers and online services do not accept HEIC uploads directly.
Sharing with non-Apple users almost always requires converting to JPG first.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
Apple switched to HEIC by default in iOS 11 to reduce storage usage. HEIC files are about half the size of JPG with equivalent quality.
Can I open HEIC files on Windows?
Windows 10 and 11 support HEIC after installing the HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Without it, you need a converter.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG?
Use an online converter, Apple's built-in sharing (which auto-converts), or change your iPhone camera settings to capture in JPG instead.
Is HEIC better than JPG?
Yes for storage and quality - HEIC produces smaller files with better detail. But JPG wins on universal compatibility.
Will websites accept HEIC uploads?
Most websites do not accept HEIC. Convert to JPG before uploading to social media, email, or web services.
