I took irreplaceable photos of my Dad's 100th birthday on my iPhone 11 and in HEIC format. Didn't even know about HEIC until I went to create a photo album through Walgreen's - they don't recognize the HEIC format. Please tell me how to change all these photos to jpg! Praying it is possible!!!!!
iPhone 11
Do you have a computer as well? The HEIC photos can be automatically converted to JPEGs when yiu download them to a computer. See this page: Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices - Apple Support
"When you import HEIF or HEVC media from an attached iOS device to Photos, Image Capture, or a PC, the media might be converted to JPEG or H.264.
You can change this import behavior in iOS 11 or later. Go to Settings > Photos. In the TRANSFER TO MAC OR PC section, tap Keep Originals to prevent the media from being converted to JPEG or H.264 when importing. "
You can upload HEIC images to the converter and download them as JPEGs: https://heictojpg.com

If you have the photos in a folder on the MacBook (select them in Photos for Mac and export them with "File > Export > Export ...Photos", they will be exported as JPEGs. In the Export Dialog click the "v" to the right of "Photo Kind > JPEG" to select a high quality:
You can reimport the JPEG versions to Photos.
I hope you can rescue the 100th Birthday photos!
Thank you! I already uploaded the photos from my phone into my MacBook so they are in my Photos but all show the .HEIC format and are grayed out - unable to send them to Walgreens.
Is it possible to change them IN the MacBook?
p.s. I am not techie at all but can follow simple directions...
Thank you!!!
