Image or photo saved in the .HEIC file extension are generated according to the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). It is first introduced to the market by Apple’s iOS devices since 2017.
HEIF belongs to the family of HEVC or H.265, a video and image compression algorithm known for its high efficiency and superb quality. In average, an HEIF image only requires half of the file size of a matching JPEG file that bears the same quality.
Furthermore, HEIF goes beyond just saving image file size because it offers more advanced features like the 16-bit color and image transparency, while JPEG provides 8-bit in color depth without transparency.
By default, your iPhone or iPad takes photos in HEIC format. You probably never notice the difference because when you share photos via email or instant messaging apps, iOS automatically convert them into JPEG.

As of today, you can’t go around without paying for the HEVC codec in order to view the format natively on Windows. As the codec is still under patent protection, any solution that claims it can do it for absolutely free is highly questionable.
