What that means is you will not be able to view the downloaded HEIC photos on your computer if your computer does not have support for it. HEIC files in Google Photos can be viewed as any other images but you lose the viewing support for them when you download these photos offline to your computer. Step 1. Open a browser on your computer and head over to the Google Photos website. Log-in to your account if you are not already.
Step 2. Step 3. Then the image opens in the preview mode, right-click on the image and choose the option that says Save Image As. It will let you save the chosen image to your computer. You are all set. You can then open this image in any of the image viewers available on your machine as JPG is a widely supported format.
When you download and view the image on your computer, one thing is clearly noticeable. Your downloaded image is not of the same resolution as your original HEIC file. This is because your browser has only saved the preview copy of the image on your computer. It requires you to select the photos you want to download and change the way you download them.
Here is what you have to do:. You can now open the image with any software, and it will stay in the JPG format. There is one noticeable difference, however.
You can change the file size before downloading to get a better resolution. Here is how to do that:. Some HEIC photos might be too big for you to zoom in and download in the right resolution. It will keep the original photo size, no matter how big it is.
