Convert HEIC photos on Windows

To convert iPhone HEIC photos on Windows, for example to JPG, use a Windows app that documents image conversion with HEIC support, like the apps below. Check the JPG column, batch support and pricing.

Before you choose

Supporting a format doesn't always mean both reading and writing it, and HEIC support can depend on a plugin or codec; check the notes. Keep the original photos.

Common questions

Will converting HEIC to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, so a conversion can reduce quality depending on the settings. Keep the originals and check a sample before converting a batch.

Do I have to upload my photos?

This guide lists Windows apps rather than online converters. Whether an app processes files locally is shown in its notes when its source documents it.
