If you take photos with an iPhone, you've probably noticed they are saved as .HEIC files. While high quality, these files often can't be opened on Windows, Android, or older software.
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's version of the HEIF format. It uses modern compression technology to save photos at half the file size of a JPG without losing quality. This saves massive amounts of space on your phone.
The Compatibility Problem
Despite its benefits, HEIC is not universally supported.
- Windows: Requires paid extensions to view natively (in older versions).
- Websites: Most forms (passports, job applications) only accept JPG or PNG.
- Android: Older devices cannot open them.
