What Is a HEIC File?
HEIC is a common file extension for photos stored in the HEIF format. It is widely used by iPhone and iPad because it can keep high image quality while using less storage than older formats.
Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
JPG is useful when you need broad compatibility for sharing, older software, web publishing, forms, email attachments, or devices that do not reliably open HEIC files.

How to Convert iPhone Photos to JPG
iPhones may save photos as HEIC when High Efficiency capture is enabled. Converting an iPhone photo to JPG makes sense when a website, form, desktop app, or recipient expects a standard JPEG file.
