Why will not my computer open HEIC files?

HEIC is the format iPhones use by default. Windows and many web apps need an extra codec to read it, which is why converting to JPG is usually the quickest fix.

Does converting lose quality?

JPG is lossy, so some detail is discarded. At quality 0.9 the difference is rarely visible, and PNG output is lossless if you need an exact copy.

HEIC to JPG

iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many apps and websites still refuse to open. Pick your files and this converts them to JPG or PNG using your own browser. Safari decodes HEIC natively; other browsers load a small decoder the first time you need it.
