Sharing and converting this media
If sharing this media via iCloud Photos, the media is preserved in its original format, resolution, and frame rate. If your device can't fully view, edit, or duplicate HEIF or HEVC media in iCloud Photos, or displays it at a lower resolution, upgrade to iOS 11 or later or macOS High Sierra or later.
If sharing this media using other methods, such as AirDrop, Messages, or email, the media might automatically be shared in a more compatible format, such as JPEG or H.264, depending on whether the receiving device supports the newer media format.
To convert HEIF and HEVC media manually, export it to a different format from an Apple or third-party app. For example:
- If you open an HEIF image in Photos or Preview on your Mac, choose File > Export, then choose a format such as JPEG or PNG before saving.
- If you open an HEVC video in QuickTime Player on your Mac, choose File > Export As. In the dialog that opens, use the pop-up menu to change from Smaller File Size (HEVC) to Greater Compatibility (H.264) before you click Save. If you see an HEVC checkbox instead of a pop-up menu, just deselect the checkbox before saving.
