Why convert HEIC to JPG on Mac?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Codec) is Apple's modern photo format, it stores images at roughly half the size of JPG with the same visual quality. But HEIC isn't supported everywhere. Windows PCs, many websites, social media platforms, and older apps don't handle HEIC natively. Converting to JPG ensures your photos open and display correctly on any device or platform.
