HEIC is the compact photo format iPhones and iPads use by default since iOS 11. JPG is the universally supported, compressed photo format. Convert iPhone photos to standard formats.
PrivateRemix handles the HEIC-to-JPG conversion in a couple of clicks, with the result saved right next to your original file.
