HEIC files are a proprietary picture format owned and used on Apple products. They do not display on many computers and smart devices so if you post them here, you are limiting your audience and therefore the likelihood of getting good responses to your post. Current versions of Windows 10 + have an add on that allows the photos to be viewed in Windows "Photo" app. However it will not let you save or convert HEIC files to your device. You can set your device to save files in JPG format so you can upload without going through a bunch of hassles to find and install a converter. There is a free converter at heic.imobie.com/heic-to-jpg/ that will do online conversions or you can download a converter for your PC. The online converter didn't work for me, but the PC version worked very slick. An alternative that apparently works, but I haven't tried is: "Open your Gmail and attach the pictures. They will automatically convert to JPG. Once you open your mail and download the files to your device."

Windows 10 has this nifty add-on for viewing HEIC in the Photo app, but the catch is, you can't save or convert them. Bummer, right? But no worries, I found this cool converter at heic.imobie.com/heic-to-jpg/ - the PC version worked like a charm for me. The online one, not so much, but maybe it'll work for you. Oh, and here's a fun trick if you're a Gmail user! Just attach those HEIC pics to an email, and like magic, they compress jpeg when you download them. Also, heard about this JPEG Optimizer thing - could be handy for compressing pics, but I haven't tried it myself.
