What is a HEIC File?
HEIC or High Efficiency Image Container is the default format for photos taken with iDevices. It uses more efficient picture encoding and can give us lower-sized images at the same or even better quality than JPEG. You can easily share and view HEIC photos across iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. However, it can be a challenge if you’re working with HEIC photos on non-Apple devices. Major operating systems, such as Android and Windows do not have the native support for HEIC. Worse still, all browsers (including Safari and Chroma) do not support the HEIC format naively. For maximum accessibility and shareability, converting your photos from HEIC photos into JPG, the universal standard photo format, may be necessary.
