Why iPhones Use HEIC Format

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) was introduced by Apple in iOS 11 in 2017 as the default photo format. It uses HEVC compression to store photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG at equivalent visual quality. The problem is compatibility: HEIC is not natively supported on Windows 10 without a paid codec pack, cannot be opened in older Photoshop versions, and is not widely accepted by social media upload forms. Converting to JPG solves all of these compatibility issues. The quality difference between HEIC and JPG at high quality settings is minimal and not visible to the human eye for most photos. To prevent your iPhone from saving photos as HEIC, go to Settings, Camera, Formats, and select Most Compatible - this changes capture format to JPEG but increases storage usage.
