HEIC photo types

I'm trying to save my iCloud photos, why are they listed as HEIC files? I have to verify each photo to copy it.

Hey mohair3,


We'd recommend reviewing the information in this article as it provides your options for downloading photos from iCloud : Download iCloud photos and videos - Apple Support


"How to download photos and videos from iCloud.com

If you want to save copies of your photos and videos from iCloud.com to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or your Mac or PC, follow these steps.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. On iCloud.com, tap Photos. 
  2. Tap Select, then tap a photo or video. To select multiple photos or videos, tap more than one. To select your entire library, tap Select All.
  3. Tap the more button  .
  4. Choose Download, then tap Download to confirm. 

If your photos download as a ZIP archive, learn how to uncompress the folder on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. "


Thanks!
