Im not sure if this helps, but I worked with a user who started forwarding images to himself via email. They arrive as an HEIC file. He has the latest iOS 17 version. I have iOS 16.6.1 and images I email come through as JPEG. We tested this further by air dropping an heic image from his iOS 17 to another user who has iOS 16. When they take the HEIC image and email it, it comes through as a JPEG.

Yes! This is happening to a co-worker's 15 Pro Max also! No matter what we do the pictures come through as Hxxx and Windows 10 doesn't open them. I can't recreate the problem on my 14PM running 16.7.2. This is definitely a bug.


I am an iCloud idiot, so I still have to airdrop photos taken with my iPhones, SE 2nd and now, 3rd gen. That didn't convert to jpeg, but I did notice at the bottom right of the Finder page, a useful tool...


Setting that to Automatic should convert HEIF/HEVC to older JPEG/H.264 if the target can not display HEIF/HEVC. If not, use some 3rd party tool to convert old footage and set the Camera to Most Compatible (JPEG/H.264) for new footage.


For more information about how to best manage the photo and video storage on your device, have a look at the guidance and suggestions in this support article: Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support


If you are still concerned, you can run it the shortcut using one photo and then decline during the prompt to delete it. But here's a (choppy) gif of a live photo and its flattened version, which was flattened a minute later.


Thanks, before I try this shortcut can you tell me if this will erase the time or date or location of the photo? I'm printing a photo album and I'll be lost without this information. I too used Live Photos for many photos on a trip, on an Iphone 13 ProMax, never again... Is there any way to avoid deleting the time/date/location when converting to JPG? I don't mind changing them over one by one if that's the only way. Thanks!


This has served me well for many years, producing a video file which is smaller than the original (good when you only have 16Gb devices), looks good enough and works on pretty much any iPod, iPad and iPhone I put it on.


However over time handbrakecli is struggling to convert more and more videos to the point that I need to look for an alternative. It's not helped by the fact that the logs provide absolutely no information as to why it has crashed. This video, for example, crashed at 71% through the conversion and this is the last 4 lines:


I have an iPhone 14 Pro. There are some photos that were taken in RAW (DNG) format. I want those photos to be in JPG format. I have the Photos app's "Transfer to Mac or PC" setting on "Automatic", but when I transfer the photos to my PC, they are still in DNG format.


I tried to use ImageMagick on my PC to convert the DNG files to JPG, but as you can see (original DNG on the left side, converted JPG on the right side), the colors are way off on the converted image:


So I would like to do the conversion in the iPhone itself if possible. I found an article saying that you can convert a DNG photo to a JPG by tapping the Share button on the image and then selecting "Save to Files", but that still saved the photo as a DNG.


I am trying to find a way to convert over 500 locations I have saved in my Garmin iPhone GPS app (iPhone 4S using Garmin StreetPilot v2.7), but I can't find a way to convert these coordinates as they are stored in the mylocations.db file. Any recommendations?


@AndreJ's answer is right. I just add the reason for this "strange" number :it seems Garmin stores its angular coordinates using a 32-bit integer, so that gives 232 possible values.We want to be able to represent values up to 360 (or more exactly -180 to 180), so each degree represents 2^32 / 360 = 11930465.


How do you do it? I saw one video tutorial on it, but the screen was too small. Also, other than changing the view size, are there any other major changes I would have to make to my iphone apps to convert to iPad?


Create a list of file you want to convert in fixfile, each line will be a file name without extension. If you original file name is AAA_Iphone.h, just put AAA. If your original file is not of this pattern, you need to revise the script.


You need not create separate target for each device. Instead, you can change the Devices in project summary to Universal which would be in iPhone already. This is answered in the link Updating iOS 5 App to Universal on Xcode 4.2. Thus, it will do transition for you.


Sounds like the best solution is to always develop as iphone first, then once you are complete done, add the ipad target, letting xcode do the update. I made the same mistake, selected universal to start, which creates the first few files, but then every other xib had to be hand recreated in the ipad folder. Big PAIN


I am using my iphone 15 photos - selecting the ones I want - uploading to Dropbox. They load in as HEIC and if I change the HEIC to JPG, it does not work. The only way I have found that it does work is to upload to my email which is a total nuisance.


So Dropbox uploads what is taken on the phone - so at the moment your phone is set to take HEIC pictures. You need to change that to JPGs (note that's not anything to do with Dropbox). Then when you upload to Dropbox they'll upload correctly.

Surprisingly, the photos taken on my iPhone 13 Pro are saved in .heic format when I connected it to my Windows 11 PC and plan to edit some of them in Photoshop. I have roughly 1000 images on iPhone and would love to learn a fast way to bulk convert .heic to jpg on my PC.


[Update] Still receive notification from this thread from time to time. Actually, I installed a few heic converters, the one that finally worked is TunesBro HEIC Converter, suggested by Mohamed857. Here is the step-by-step tutorial (external link removed by moderator) you can check out.


CloudConvert is a powerful online file conversion service that supports over 200 different file formats, including HEIC, JPG, and more. It allows users to convert files without installing any software on their computer, making it a convenient solution for various file conversion needs. The platform is designed with an easy-to-use interface, enabling users to quickly convert files without any prior technical knowledge.


Please be cautious when using online converters, as uploading personal or sensitive images to third-party websites might pose privacy risks. Also, the conversion speed may depend on your internet connection and the size of the files being converted.


However, instead of importing your photos as HEIC and then converting them on your PC, you should be able to import them directly as JPG (having the phone convert them upon transfer). For this, change the settings on the iPhone. I have it in French but in English the option in the camera settings should be named something like "Transfer to Mac or PC" and then a choice between Original file (=HEIC) and Automatic (=HEIC when transferring to a Mac and JPG in other cases).


So, I recently got myself one of those fancy new iPhones, and it comes with this nifty HEIC photo format. It's all cool for saving space, but when it comes to sharing pics with friends who aren't on Team Apple, well, that's a bit of a pickle.


1. The main reason I got this software was to convert my HEIC photos to JPEG. All I had to do was drag and drop the HEIC files into the program, select the output format (JPEG, in my case), and click the "Convert" button. It was that simple. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the software converted my photos. Even when dealing with a batch of images, it didn't take long at all. This was a huge time-saver for me.


I'd definitely recommend giving TunesBro HEIC Converter a try, it solved the compatibility issue I had with HEIC photos and made sharing images a breeze. Plus, the software was so user-friendly that I didn't feel like I needed to be a tech guru to use it effectively.


Certainly! I also used TunesBro HEIC Converter to change lots of .heic image to PNG, it saved the day when I found myself stuck with HEIC format photos on my iPhone, causing compatibility headaches with non-Apple devices. Its hassle-free installation and user-friendly interface made converting HEIC to JPEG a breeze, preserving image quality while delivering lightning-fast results.


@HolawayStay away from TunesBro HEIC Converter. It works fine if you are converting a couple dozen photos, but I needed to convert a couple thousand. You can't convert more than around 80 without the application locking up. There is a terrible memory leak so have each tiny batch of conversion, you have to restart the application because it never releases memory. Poorly written and not user friendly at all.


However, HEIF is not as widely supported as JPEG, which has been around forever and is the de facto image format. In fact, iOS often automatically converts the pictures to JPEG if you upload them to some websites, including social media platforms.


But if you, as I occasionally do, AirDrop these photos to the Mac, they come across as HEIF files rather than JPEGs.4 And trying to upload them to websites or share them with people may thus lead to problems.
