Steps
Copy the HEIC photos you want to convert into one folder on your PC so you can process them in a single batch.
Download iMazing HEIC Converter from the official iMazing website and install it. It is free for converting files.
Open the converter and drag your HEIC files or the whole folder into the app window.
Set the output format to JPG. In iMazing, choose JPEG and use the quality slider to keep good image quality.
Tick the option to keep the original photo metadata if you want dates and camera details preserved.
Choose an output folder for the converted JPGs, or leave the default location and note where it is.
Click Convert and wait while the app processes all the files. A progress bar shows how far it has got.
Open the output folder and check a few JPGs to confirm they look right and open in Windows Photos.
If you prefer another tool, repeat the same drag, set JPG, choose folder and convert steps in Real HEIC to JPG Converter.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep a backup of the original HEIC files until you have checked the JPGs, since conversion cannot be undone.
Convert in batches of a few hundred files at a time so the app does not freeze on very large folders.
Only download converters from the official developer site to avoid bundled adware.
JPG loses a little quality each time you re-save it, so convert once from the original HEIC files.
Questions
Can Windows 11 open HEIC files without converting?
Windows 11 can open HEIC files if you install the HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Converting to JPG is still simpler if you need to share or upload the photos.
Does converting HEIC to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so there is a small quality drop. Use a high quality setting in the converter to keep the difference hard to see.
Is iMazing HEIC Converter free?
The HEIC conversion feature is free to use. Check the current terms on the iMazing website before installing.
