About the HEIC and JPG formats
HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format iPhone uses since iOS 11. It stores roughly half the bytes of a JPG at the same quality, but Windows, Android, and most websites refuse to open it. Converting HEIC to JPG is the single most-searched image conversion on Google for that reason.
JPG
JPG (or JPEG) is the universal photo format. It uses lossy compression tuned for natural images, giving you small files that look great on screens, social media, and prints. JPG has no transparency layer and progressively loses quality on each re-save, so keep an original archive if you plan to edit further.
