How do I convert HEIC files to JPEGs in Windows 10?
It is the first time I came across .HEIC pictures. I don't know why the photos from my iPhone 16 Pro Mac are saved as .heic. When I imported the photos to my Windows 10 PC as backup, the heic images can be opened.
Is there any simple way in 2025 that let me easily convert heic files to jpg in Windows 10 PC? There are roughly 1000 photos from the iPhone so I am looking for a fast and reliable HEIC to JPG converter for Windows 10.
Thanks
Please don't use online HEIC to JPEG converter as it is not safe! I am using this one and you can convert up to 500 images per time in any Windows PC:

The Microsoft Photos app in Windows 10 (and later versions) can help you convert HEIC to JPG, but it doesn't directly support batch conversion to JPEG within the app itself. However, it can be used for manual one-by-one conversion if you're willing to open each file individually.
How to convert HEIC to JPEG using Microsoft Photos:
1. Install HEIF Image Extensions:
Open the Microsoft Store.
Search for "HEIF Image Extensions".
Install it (free). This allows Photos to open HEIC files.2. Open HEIC image in Photos:
Double-click your HEIC file; it should open in the Photos app.3. Save as JPEG:
In Photos, click the "..." menu (top right).
Select "Save as".
Choose JPEG as the format, then save.Limitations:
* Manual process: You need to do this for each photo individually.
* Time-consuming: Not practical for 1000 photos.Recommended alternative:
Since batch conversion isn't feasible with Photos alone, for large numbers of images, it's better to use tools like 1rfanView or dedicated batch converters. These are free, fast, and designed for bulk processing.
