I have an iPhone 7 (running iOS 11.0.1) and have PhotoStream enabled (but not iCloud Photo Library). On my Mac (running High Sierra version 10.13) photos taken with my iPhone show up in the Photos app in the Library as.jpg's. However, when connecting my iPhone via USB and selecting 'Import All New Photos' the Photos app (Version 3.0) is creating duplicates of my photos, i.e. There are both the.jpg and the.heic formats. How can I prevent this, i.e. Still using the High Efficiency format on my iPhone but not having.heic in my Photos app on my Mac? Have PhotoStream enabled (but not iCloud Photo Library).

Nevertheless, all the popular platforms that we use have these softwares. Thus, all the users are left with is a simple selection of the most appropriate tool to use without changing the platform.

The Joyoshare HEIC Converter for Windows is a great iOS image converter that is able to convert HEIC images on the iPhone X, iPhone 8, 8 Plus, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus without compromising the image.

FonePaw HEIC Converter Free is a foolproof and authentic software designed to convert HEIC files to either JPG or PNG files along with the quality adjustable by yourself. Better yet, it's totally for free. The good news is that it is easy to convert HEIC images to JPG, which is a more universal format. If you don’t know HEIC, it stands for High Efficiency Image Format also called HEIF, and is the file type for photos in iOS 11, that is all models iPhone 6S and later, as well as in the 2017 iPad 9.7.

No solution so far. 'Picking one horse' as proposed by LarryHN would certainly help, but means to switch to USB only eventually, as videos and live photos are not shared via Fotostream (please correct me, if I am wrong). Looks like Fotostream creates the 'jpg' files causing the duplicates. If Fotostream would simply transfer the 'heir' files, problem should not occur. For whatever reason my iPhone does show any settings, meaning I can't adjust there anything. No idea how to fix this. Avi player for mac 10.6.8.

It's also spamming my Google Photos (sorry/not sorry) with these duplicates, and seemingly no way of preventing the JPEG photostream duplicates from uploading or making PS sync with the HEIC versions. It seems crazy that the HEIC format is being implemented and promoted whilst only half the system actually supports it, at least provide this information so that we can make a call on the drawbacks of adopting the new format. The easiest way to have HEIC and HEVC on the iPhone and to sync to the Mac without duplicates is iCLoudPhoto Library. Then the new iPhone media will sync as HEIC and HEVC to the Photos Libraries on the Macs. This way I can save storage on my iPhone and in iCLoud, but on the Mac I need more storage, because Photos will create cached JPEG and H.264 videos for the media browser.

While my Macs support HEIC and HEVC, not all photo editing extensions I am using support them yet. When I want to edit a HEIF photo in Luminar 2018, I have to use the external Editors extension and convert the image file to TIFF, before I can edit it. Glad I am not alone in this issue! What a surprise. My understanding now is that Apple automatically converts PHOTOSTREAM photos from high efficiency.heic (on iPhone) to.jpg. Aside from mitigating the space saving benefit, this prompts Photos on my iMac to not recognize the image as having already been imported via photo stream, a convenience I have come to be happy with. Wish 1: Apple let Photos import the.heic original file to my iMac from photostream Wish 2: Suggest an app that will delete duplicate images after I import NEW and duplicate my content.

I think this is the best answer - but I have yet to check - will Photos pick up duplicates now, when it sees the same file name AND extension? Obviously duplicates were not detected before when Photos was probably looking at IMG_2829.JPG and IMG_2829.HEIC as different files even though it's really the same picture? This begs the question - and I'm sure there are other threads that address this - but which format DO we want to end up with in Photos on our Macs which is what archives everything? I see the file format is smaller with HEIC but is it better quality in the end? Obviously duplicates were not detected before when Photos was probably looking at IMG_2829.JPG and IMG_2829.HEIC as different files even though it's really the same picture? The duplicate detection in Photos, when importing image files is checking for identical files, so the file format has to be the same.
