Why Convert HEIC to JPG?
HEIC is Apple's efficient image format, but JPG is more universally compatible. Here's why conversion is often needed:
Windows Compatibility
Windows PCs often can't open HEIC files without special software.
Website Uploads
Many websites don't accept HEIC format for profile pictures or uploads.
Android Sharing
Android devices may not display HEIC images sent from iPhones.
Smaller File Size
JPG can be more efficient than HEIC at medium quality settings.

Apple uses HEIC by default because it offers:
