Converting HEIC to JPG on Windows

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format used by Apple devices. Windows 10 and 11 don't natively support it very well without extra codecs. Therefore, you might want to convert HEIC images to the more universally compatible JPG format. Here are several methods:

• Using a Dedicated HEIC to JPG Converter: There are numerous free and paid software options available. Some popular choices include iMazing HEIC Converter (free), CopyTrans HEIC for Windows (installs the necessary codecs and allows conversion), and online converters like Zamzar. Simply download and install a converter, or upload your image to an online%20converter, and follow the instructions to convert your HEIC files to JPG. This is often the easiest method.

• CopyTrans HEIC for Windows: While mentioned as a converter, this tool primarily works by installing the necessary codecs for Windows to view HEIC files. After installation, you can right-click the HEIC file, select "Convert to JPEG with CopyTrans," and it will be saved as a JPG. CopyTrans is also free for personal use, converting up to 5 HEIC files at a time.

• Using an Online Conversion Website: Numerous websites offer free HEIC to JPG conversion. Examples include FreeConvert.com, CloudConvert, and Convertio. Upload your HEIC file, select JPG as the output format, and download the converted image. Be mindful of the upload size limitations and consider the privacy implications of uploading your images to a third-party website. This is useful for one-time conversions, but not ideal for bulk processing of multiple%20files.

• Using Adobe Photoshop: If you have Adobe Photoshop, you can open HEIC files (you might need to install the HEIF Image Extensions and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store, potentially for a small fee). Once opened, simply go to File > Save As and choose JPG as the file format. Photoshop offers more advanced editing options during the conversion%20process.

• Using Dropbox: If your HEIC files are in Dropbox, Dropbox can automatically convert them to JPG when you download them. In your Dropbox settings, you can configure whether you want it to be automatically converted when you download images.

Remember to choose a method that suits your needs based on the number of files you need to convert, your privacy concerns, and the available resources on your system. Consider your file%20size requirements and if lossless conversion is needed or not.
