Free heic to jpg converter software download for Windows 11 user?

Hey! Yeah, the Windows Photos app combined with the HEIF extension is a decent way to open HEIC files on Windows, but it’s not really designed for bulk conversions or direct "Save As" to JPG. It’s more of a viewing solution for HEIC to JPG.

Here’s how it works and what you can do:

1. Install the HEIF Image Extensions: Go to the Microsoft Store and search for HEIF Image Extensions. Install it — this is what lets Windows Photos open HEIC files.

2. Open HEIC in Photos: Once installed, just double-click your HEIC image, and it will open in Photos.

3. Save as JPG: In Photos, click the "..." menu (top right), then choose "Save as" or "Save a copy". Usually, Photos saves images in the same format, so you might need to use the "Save as" option and select JPG if available.

However, the catch is:

The Photos app doesn’t directly offer an option to convert HEIC to JPG or export multiple images as JPG in one go.
If you want to convert multiple images, you’d have to open each one individually, which is tedious.
Better alternative: For quick bulk conversion, I recommend using free tools like 1rfanView or online converters, as they handle multiple files at once easily.
