Like anything new, there can be some growing pains in using HEIC over JPEG, especially if you have an iPhone paired with a Windows 10 PC.įortunately, it doesn’t have to be an awkward process and with the apps and extensions we’ve used here, you can integrate your HEIC files into your regular workflow with ease. You’ll now have copies with the same file names but saved as a JPEG instead of a HEIC file.
Once you’re happy with your settings, click ‘Convert’, choose the folder you want to save to, and hit ‘OK’.
In this case, you need to use method 5 to ensure that the files are in place. Before anything happens you can choose between JPEG and PNG formats, whether you want to preserve the EXIF data and how high you want the quality to be. If you are still unable to open JPG files in Windows 10, most likely the files are corrupted and cannot be done in such simple ways. Once you have the app installed and open, all you need to do is drag and drop the files you want to convert into the app window. It’s lightweight and extremely simple to use. To convert larger batches, we’re using a free app from the Microsoft Store called ‘ iMazing HEIC Converter’. Opening an image in the Windows 10 Photos app and saving a copy is OK if you have one image, or maybe a small number, but what about if you have a lot that you want to convert.
