How To Make IPhone Camera Shoot JPEG Pictures In IOS 11

The iPhone camera will now default to taking pictures in a new HEIF format, rather then JPEG. This camera formatting change to HEIF came in iOS 11, but some iPhone users may prefer to have the camera continue to snap photos in JPEG format for broader compatibility with sharing, copying to a computer, and more. We’ll show you how you can change the iPhone camera default image file type so that the iPhone will shoot pictures in JPEG format again. We’ll also cover a trick for leaving HEIF image format enabled but have those HEIF images automatically convert to JPEG files upon transfer to a computer. The iPhone camera image format setting is new to iOS 11 or later, and is specific to certain devices with newer cameras. Note that not all iPhone and iPad models support the new HEIF image format.

This can help for sending and sharing pictures, and using JPEG as the image format for iPhone camera was the default since the first iPhone anyway. Existing .heic files can be converted manually to JPEG or another file format if need be.
