How to Convert HEIC Photos to JPG on Windows & Mac

Took photos on your iPhone and can't open them on your PC? That's the HEIC problem. Apple's default image format — HEIC — saves storage on your phone, but it's incompatible with most Windows apps, websites, and older software. If you've been wondering how to change a photo from HEIC to JPG, this guide has you covered for both Windows and Mac.

What Is HEIC and Why Change It to JPG?

  • HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's modern image format — great quality, small size, but poor compatibility.
  • JPG works everywhere: Windows, Android, web browsers, social media, and photo editors.
  • Most online platforms reject HEIC uploads — JPG is the universal safe choice.

  • Paint / Photos App: Once the codec is installed, open and Save As JPG.
