The Apple HEIC Problem

If you use an iPhone, you've probably noticed that your photos are saved as ".HEIC" files. While this format is great for saving space, it is a nightmare for compatibility. Most Windows PCs, Android phones, and even some websites won't let you open or upload them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my iPhone take HEIC photos?

Apple uses HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) because it provides better quality than JPG at half the file size. However, it isn't universally supported yet.
