From HEIC to JPEG

Hello,

How do I convert my photos from HEIC to JPEG? I'm using iPhone 11 and download sometimes photos to my Dropbox. Following this piece of advice: "Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap Camera > Formats > Most Compatible." does not solve the problem.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

"Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap Camera > Formats > Most Compatible." will not convert already taken Photos.


Probably you meant HEIF.

HEIF is for image

HEVC for Video


To convert HEIF and HEVC media manually, export it to a different format from an Apple or third-party app. For example:


If you're using an Apple device, you can use the built-in conversion feature to convert your HEIF files to JPEG. Simply select the photo you want to convert,

tap the "Share" button, and then

select "Save to Files.".

Use DropBox on your Files app.
