With just two simple clicks you can turn a HEIC file into a JPG using a trick. The HEIC image format arrived in 2017 with the iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra versions. It’s the standard format in Apple’s operative systems and it can reduce the size of multimedia files. It’s a format designed to avoid quality losses when moving and opening the files in your operative system.
Although the format succeeds in reducing the images weight, it also brings compatibility issues outside the Apple ecosystem. The user has to turn the HEIC into JPG to run the file in Android, Windows or some Linux distributions. But there’s a trick that converts HEIC to JPG in seconds.
