Back in 2017, Apple introduced a new default photo format for the iPhone, HEIC (or "high efficiency image container"). I've got nothing against this highly efficient format, since it takes up less space than JPG and its compression helps power Live Photos and Apples excellent image post-processing. But it can be a headache at times.While HEIC works fine if youre sharing a photo with other Apple devices, you'll often run into a problem when you need to upload a photo to an online form or open it in Windows: it won't be compatible.There are a couple of ways to handle this. You can use a workaround to convert HEIC images to JPG (or JPEG) on your iPhone, or you can adjust your settings and switch back to shooting photos in JPG. If the photo is already on your Mac or Windows PC, you have some options there as well, including opening the photo natively on your PC. Here are your options to convert HEIC to JPG, or otherwise access your HEIC photos.Change your iPhone's default photo format Credit: Khamosh Pathak If you dont like the HEIC format, the first thing you should do is switch the default format for your iPhone's Camera app to JPG. Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and switch to the Most Compatible option. Now, any new photos that you take will be saved in JPG, making it much easier to share everywhere.Theres also a special mode in Settings that automatically converts photos to JPG when sharing to Windows or Mac, but keeps them as HEIC on iPhone (helping save some storage space). To enable this feature, go to Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC and choose the Automatic option.Batch Convert HEIC Images Using Mac Quick Actions Credit: Khamosh Pathak If youre using a Mac running macOS Monterey or higher, theres a quick image conversion tool built into the Finder app that supports multiple images at once. Select the HEIC photos you want to convert, right-click, and go to Quick Actions > Convert Image. Here, choose the JPEG format and click the Convert to JPEG option. Credit: Khamosh Pathak Convert HEIC Images using Preview Credit: Khamosh Pathak If you're using an older Mac, you might not have access to the new Quick Actions feature. In that case, you can use the trusty old Preview app to convert images to JPEG. First, open the image in the Preview app.Then, go to File > Export. Here, choose JPEG as the format and click Save. This will create a new file in the same folder as the original image.Batch Export HEIC Images from the Photos app Credit: Khamosh Pathak The Photos app on Mac seamlessly syncs all your photos from your iPhone to your Mac using iCloud. But all those photos are still in HEIC format. Thankfully, you can quickly export HEIC images from the Photos app. Select all the photos you want to export, then go to File > Export > Export [X] Photo(s). Make sure to use the JPEG format, and click the Export button.Alternatively, a simple drag and drop gesture is enough to turn an HEIC image to JPEG. Select images from the Photos app, then drag and drop them to the desktop or any folder in the Finder app. The resulting image will be formatted into JPEG format.Quickly convert an HEIC image to JPG on your phone using the Files app Credit: Khamosh Pathak A quick way to convert HEIC photos to JPG right on your iPhone is to use the Files app. Open the Photos app on your iPhone and select the photos that you want to convert. Then, tap the Share icon and choose the Save to Files option.Go to the Files app, find the image that you saved, press and hold on it, then go to Quick Actions > Convert Image. Choose the JPEG file format, then choose the image size (best to stick to the Original size option). The image will instantly be converted to JPEG. And yes, this works for either a single image or a huge batch of images. Open HEIC images in the Photos app on WindowsWindows does let you open HEIC images in Photos, but not by default. Youll need to download both HEIF Image Extensions (free) and HEVC Video Extensions ($0.99) from the Microsoft Storebut once you do, youll be able to open HEIC files in your Photos app, as well as convert them to JPG.With these extensions installed, you can open your HEIC photos using your PC's photo app, and even convert them to JPG by navigating to Three dots menu > Save as > Save as type > JPG. Alternatively, with the extensions installed, you can also open your HEIC photo in Paint and navigate to File > Save as > JPEG picture to do the same thing.Use Clop for Mac to Automatically Convert HEIC Images from Downloads Folder Credit: Clop For every roadblock, there's a Mac utility. For obscure image and video formats, there's Clop. Once installed, the app automatically converts images that you download or import to JPG. This is useful when downloading WebP images online, and when you're airdropping HEIC files to your Mac. The app handles image conversion in the background, and after the 14-day trial, you're limited to five conversions per session. You can remove all limits by upgrading to Clop Pro for $15.After installing the app, go to Settings > Images > Watch Paths and add /Downloads as a path, as this is where your airdropped HEIC images will show up. Now, whenever you Airdrop or transfer HEIC images to your Mac, they will be converted to JPG without you having to lift a finger. Ah, automation is bliss.Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows with a right-click using CopyTransYou can also use the popular CopyTrans for Windows app to more easily convert HEIC to JPG on a Windows computer. This app is free for personal use, and it has a direct integration in the File Explorer.

Loft-style bedrooms are common in tiny homes, but no one likes crawling into one and uncomfortably adjusting themselves there. Named the Sandy Tiny Home, this one-of-a-kind house attempts to deal with this issue by offering standing room in all three bedrooms. Designed by Indigo River Tiny Homes, the home is based on a triple-axle trailer, with a length of 36 feet. It features a finish of smart-engineered wood and two storage boxes on the outside.Designer: Indigo River Tiny HomesAs you enter the home, you are welcomed by the living area which includes a sofa for two, some storage space, and a TV. The kitchen is closely located, it contains solid mahogany countertops with a steel sink, a microwave, an electric oven with an electric cooktop, and a fridge/freezer. The kitchen also accommodates loads of cabinetry and a pull-out pantry. The bathroom is located next to the kitchen, and it is quite spacious with a washer/dryer hookup, a flushing toilet, a vanity sink, and a shower/bath unit which isnt very common in tiny homes.The master bedroom is located on the upper level of the home and can be accessed via a cleverly designed staircase that integrates storage solutions, maximizing functionality in a compact space. This staircase not only offers access to the bedroom but also provides valuable storage compartments for household items, ensuring an organized and clutter-free environment. The master bedroom showcases a unique architectural feature a lowered L-shaped floor area.This design innovation offers the room an impressive headroom of approximately 6.4 feet (1.95 meters), allowing occupants to stand comfortably uprighta rarity in many loft-style bedrooms.
