If you've ever encountered issues opening or sharing HEIC files on non-Apple devices, you might be interested in disabling HEIC and switching to JPEG, a more universally supported format. This guide will walk you through the steps to do just that, ensuring your photos are easier to access and share on any device.
Why Switch from HEIC to JPEG?
While the HEIC format offers many advantages, certain situations make the JPEG format more convenient.
Compatibility: HEIC isn’t supported on all devices or software. Disabling it on your iPhone allows you to share photos seamlessly, regardless of the recipient’s device.
Editing Flexibility: If you edit photos on a computer that doesn’t support HEIC, switching to JPEG or PNG ensures you’ll have fewer compatibility issues during the editing process.
