How to make your iPhone save photos as JPG
Change one camera setting so your iPhone takes JPG photos instead of HEIC — and what it means for existing photos.
Convert your existing HEIC photos- Open Settings.
- Tap Camera, then Formats.
- Choose Most Compatible.
New photos will be saved as JPG and videos as H.264. Files will be larger, so they take more storage.
What about photos I already have?
This setting doesn't change existing photos. To convert those, use the HEIC to JPG converter.
