What is HEIC? (plain-English version)

HEIC is the photo format iPhone uses by default. It helps save space while keeping image quality high.

So why do people run into problems?

Because not every website, app, or older device supports HEIC yet. The image is fine, but the destination tool may reject it.

When should I convert it?

• When a website says your photo type is unsupported.
• When someone asks you to send JPG files.
• When you are uploading to school, work, or government forms.

Which format should I convert to?

• JPG: best default for sharing.
• PNG: best for screenshots and text-heavy images.
• WebP: best when smaller size matters.
• PDF: best for print or document-style submissions.
