Can’t open iPhone photos on Windows?

This is a common compatibility issue. Your photos are usually fine, but your app or upload form expects JPG instead of HEIC.

Quick fix (recommended)

Open iPhone Photo Fix.
Drop in your HEIC files.
Convert to JPG and download.

Why this happens

Many Windows apps still default to older image formats.
Some upload forms only whitelist JPG and PNG.
Work and school systems are often strict about accepted file types.

Format tips

Use JPG for everyday sharing and uploads.
Use PNG for screenshots and text graphics.
Use PDF when a form asks for a document-style upload.
