Apple has set the default image and video saving to HEIF (High-Efficiency Image File Format) and HEVC, respectively, from the launch of iOS 11. The same default setup is also followed for the recent and updated edition of iOS 13. This HEIC format uses very little space on iOS devices and lets them save more images and files in the free area. It overrode the traditional place of JPEG format when all the images required this format to save an image file.
This new format for saving or sharing files doesn’t affect the original quality of the image and provides more space on your device by decreasing its file size. This file format accepts animation features that we had in the GIFs.
Working with JPEG File Formats
If you want to post an image in the HEIC format, then you can’t do so as web-based services and other programs still only support JPEG files. In this case, you need these HEIF or HEIC files in JPEG format as it’s the traditional form of image saving and sharing. In case you wish to send your iOS image to your friend having Windows PC, outdated Android device, older Mac system, etc., then they won’t launch and view it comfortably.
Here, we are providing several ways to transform your iPhone clicked images into JPEG format. In case you have transferred various images having the HEIF format, then in this case you need to switch your iOS device’s camera to the earlier edition or any previously compatible or supported formats.
Saving iOS Images as JPEG Instead of HEIC Formats
In case you want your iOS device to save your desired image into JPEG format, then pursue these instructions carefully:
- First and foremost, open the Settings app on your latest iPhone running on iOS 11 and later.
- Then, hit the Camera option there.
- Now, click on the Formats tab.
