As of September 2019, Apple released iOS 13 for iPhone. One of the new features included is the ability to capture photos in HEIC format.

HEIC is a new image format that offers better compression than JPEG, meaning that your photos will take up less space on your device. If you’re a Photoshop user, you may be wondering how you can open and edit these new HEIC files. Here’s a quick guide on how to do just that.

In order to open HEIC files in Photoshop, you’ll need to first update to the latest version of Photoshop CC (2019). Once you’ve done that, open Photoshop and go to Preferences > Camera Raw.

In the Camera Raw preferences window, check the box next to “Enable support for HEIC files”. Once you’ve done that, restart Photoshop and you’ll be able to open and edit HEIC files just like any other image file.

If you’re not a Photoshop user, there are a few free online converters that can convert HEIC files to JPEG or PNG format. Once converted, you can then open the JPEG or PNG file in any photo editor.
