HEIC is your iPhone's compact photo format. BMP is the uncompressed Windows native bitmap legacy applications, resource compilers, and embedded systems require. Converting HEIC to BMP gives you a Windows-native uncompressed image. Drop your .heic file above.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the file format Apple shipped for iPhone photos starting with iOS 11 in 2017. HEIC uses HEVC-based compression for ~50% smaller file sizes than JPG. On Windows, opening HEIC requires the optional HEIF Image Extension from the Microsoft Store.
BMP (Windows Bitmap) is the uncompressed image format Microsoft built into Windows in 1990. Every Windows GDI function, every Visual Studio resource editor, every legacy Windows application, and every embedded display system understands BMP. Files are large but rendering is instant.
