📱 How to Stop iPhone from Saving Photos as HEIC
Top
- Open ⚙️ Settings on your iPhone
- Scroll down and tap Camera
- Select Formats
- Choose Most Compatible (saves as JPEG/MP4 instead of HEIC/HEVC)
Tip: “High Efficiency” = HEIC, “Most Compatible” = JPEG.
What is HEIC anyway? 🤔
HEIC is Apple's super photo file type! Introduced in 2017 with iOS 11. It's like an upgraded JPEG - same great photos at about half the file size. The magic comes from HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) technology.
Why the need for conversion? 🔄
- Windows & Android can't natively read HEIC - It's like speaking different languages
- Websites often reject HEIC - Many forms only accept JPEG/PNG
- HEIC's smaller files = better sharing - But not everyone can open them
- 100% private - Your photos never leave your device
- It's FREE! - No watermarks, no signups, no nonsense
- We support HEIC, PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF(static), BMP
- Batch convert up-to 5 images each time
- Super easy to use
- Works anywhere - Phone, tablet, or computer
- Play our exclusive image formats themed minigame: HEIC Crush Mania!
Fun fact: HEIC can store multiple images in one file - that's how Live Photos work!

📊 Image Format Comparison
Here’s how HEIC stacks up against other popular formats:
| Format | Avg. File Size | Quality | Transparency | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEIC | 🔹 Smallest | High (modern codec) | ❌ | Apple devices, limited elsewhere |
| JPG | Small | Good (lossy) | ❌ | Universal (web, apps, devices) |
| PNG | Medium–Large | Lossless, sharp | ✅ | Universal (web, apps, design) |
| GIF | Small | Low (256 colors) | ✅ (1-bit) | Universal, animations |
| BMP | Huge | Uncompressed | ❌ | Windows legacy use |
| Varies | Preserves layout | ✅ (via transparency layers) | Excellent, all platforms |
Note: HEIC gives the best compression, but JPG/PNG remain the most widely supported for sharing.

🌐 Best Practices When Sharing HEIC Files Online
HEIC is excellent for storage efficiency, but not every website or device supports it yet. To make sure your photos are always viewable, follow these best practices:
- Always convert before uploading – Change HEIC to JPG or PNG for maximum compatibility with social media, websites, and online forms.
👉 Use HEICTool.com to do this instantly in your browser — 100% private and free. - Batch convert your photos – Need to share many images? HEICTool.com lets you process up to 5 HEIC files at once with just one click.
- Keep the originals – Store your HEIC files for personal use (smaller size, better quality), but share JPG/PNG with others for universal access.
- Match the platform – JPG works everywhere, PNG is ideal for design/transparency, and GIF is perfect for simple animations.
- Save time and frustration – Instead of explaining to friends or clients how to open HEIC files, quickly convert with HEICTool.com before sending.
Tip: Converting HEIC to JPG with HEICTool.com is the easiest way to ensure your images open everywhere.
