When I send a photo from my iPhone to my Mac via Airdrop, it appears with HEIC at the end instead of JPG or one of the other designations. Often, I can't get them to attach to emails, and when I can, they are unseeable at the other end.
How can I change it to JPG or another?
iPhone 6s, iOS 14
Open Finder, locate the HEIC file, right-click on it, choose Quick Actions, then Convert Image and follow the prompts to convert to jpg.
Yes, you can force the iPhone to use the older, less efficient, lower resolution jpg format. Go to Settings/Camera/Formats and tap Most Compatible. Most newer photo organizers and editors can handle HEIF/HEIC images that take up less space and save as higher quality than jpg.
Thank you so much, Lawrence. It worked the very first try.
Is there no way to keep my iPhone from applying that HEIC format?
Thanks again.
