How to Convert HEIC to JPG on Android
We all know that HEIC is a new image format developed by Apple to help iOS users store pictures taken by iPhone cameras with the best quality but of a smaller size. This format is excellent on iOS devices running iOS 11 or later since you can open and view HEIC files as you desire. But it is a little bit unfriendly for Android users because most Android devices don't have native app support for HEIC. Thus, you may need alternative methods to convert such files to a more common format on your Android device. And here, we will tell you how to do it without problems.
