What is a HEIC file?
What is the HEIC file type?
HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Container. It is a newer file format (compared to JPG and PNG) created for more modern and efficient compression of graphic files. HEIC is the default format for images on Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Macs, due to its high compression ratio and storage efficiency. While HEIC images are more detailed and half the size of JPEG, they are not universally compatible, making conversion to JPG essential for hassle-free sharing and viewing across different devices and applications, including Windows, Mac, and mobile platforms. Additionally, HEIC files can store multiple images, such as Live Photos, which can complicate compatibility with non-Apple platforms.
Why are my iPhone Photos in HEIC?
Ever since Apple introduced the HEIC format in 2017, iPhones and iPads have been taking photos in HEIC by default. To stop taking pictures in HEIC, go to the Settings app > Camera > Formats > Most compatible. The High Efficiency option means shooting in HEIF/HEVC.
HEIF, HEIC or HEVC?
HEIF, High Efficiency Image File Format, is a container format that is based on advanced video compression technology, HEVC or h.265. In its turn, HEVC is a video codec (High Efficiency Video Codec) and is often used for iPhone .mov 4k videos (see how to open .hevc-encoded iPhone videos on Windows here). Apple adopted the HEIF technology in 2017 and introduced the HEIC extension to iOS 11. HEIC photo format takes less space while preserving high quality.
Can a Windows PC open HEIC files?
Windows 10 doesn’t offer native support for HEIC images. The Windows 11 Photos app can’t open HEIC by default either. Windows had to introduce support for HEIF, HEIC and HEVC formats separately because of copyright issues. To make it work, you need to install several Windows plug-ins (some not free). CopyTrans Studio allows you to view and convert HEIC files easily and offline.
How to open a HEIC file?
Since Windows doesn’t natively support HEIF files, all your photos in this format will be shown as blank rectangles. They cannot be opened in Windows native photo viewers. CopyTrans Studio integrates a HEIC reader into your Windows system. The photo thumbnails are then displayed automatically. In addition, you’ll be able to open HEIC images directly in Windows Photo Viewer, the Windows Photo app, or CopyTrans Viewer. The latter also supports other tricky Apple formats.
How to convert HEIC to JPEG for free?
In order to convert your HEIC photos to a more compatible JPG format, install CopyTrans Studio on your computer, then select the HEIC files you need to convert, right-click on one of them, and select “Convert with CopyTrans”. No need to launch an app or use an online converter. Your converted files will appear next to the original ones. Read this article to learn more about other ways to convert HEIC to JPG. For example, it’s possible to convert photos while transferring them from the iPhone to your PC or an external hard drive.
Can I convert entire HEIC folders?
