Best HEIC viewer - how can I view heic files on windows 10 or 11?
- Aug 14, 2025
I know how frustrating it can be dealing with HEIC files on Windows, especially when they don’t open smoothly. For me, I found HEIC Converter to be super handy. It’s pretty easy to use—just drag and drop the files, convert them to JPG. No fuss, no hassle, and the quality stays intact.
I followed this tutorial (worked for me)

See this screenshot in my computer. I love its batch conversion feature!

MarkMitchell HEIF Image Extensions is an application available in the Microsoft Store that allows Windows users to view and manage HEIC files, which are a variant of the HEIF file type. HEIF is a modern image format that provides superior compression and image quality compared to older formats like JPEG, meaning you can store higher-quality images using less storage space. This format is commonly used by Apple devices, such as iPhones and iPads, and is gradually gaining adoption in other areas.
By installing the HEIF Image Extensions on Windows 10 or 11, users can seamlessly open HEIC files in the default Photos app, as well as view thumbnails in File Explorer. This helpful HEIC file viewer integrates with the Windows operating system, allowing users to work with HEIC images just as they would with other supported image formats. However, while this enables viewing, additional software or conversion tools may still be required for editing or converting these images into formats like JPEG or PNG if compatibility with other applications is needed.
