Handling HEIC photos on Windows 11 can be tricky. I’ve tried a few tools and found TuneBro HEIC Converter quite handy. It supports batch conversion and maintains good quality, making it easier to manage HEIC files. If you’re looking for something straightforward, it might be a good option to consider.

If you need a HEIC to JPG converter tool and are familiar with PowerShell, you can try writing a script to batch convert HEIC files to JPG format. First, I found a script online and modified it slightly to suit my needs. The specific steps are as follows:
- Set the execution policy: PowerShell may not allow unsigned scripts to run by default. You can change this policy to allow local scripts to execute by running the Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned command.
- Write the script: You need a script to read the HEIC files and convert them to JPG using a conversion command. This usually requires calling some external library or command-line tool, such as using the macgick command (part of the ImagMacgick tool).
- Save the script: Save your script as a .ps1 file, such as Convert-HEICtoJPG.ps1.
- Run the script: In PowerShell, navigate to the directory where the script is located and run the script. You can directly enter the path to the script, such as .\Convert-HEICtoJPG.ps1, and press Enter to execute it.
This method is very effective, especially when you need to process a lot of images. You only need to set up and write the script for the first time, and then run the script every time you use it to automatically convet all heic files to JPG, which is very convenient.

This method sounds interesting, especially using PowerShell to batch convert HEIC to JPG on Windows 11. But I have a question, do I need to install the ImageMaick tool to use this script? Also, if I am not familiar with PowerShell command line operations, will it be troublesome? It seems that it is easier to use third-party software directly. Do you think this script is really more convenient than the existing tools?
