Free heic to jpg converter software download for Windows 11 user?
HEIF Image Extension is a Microsoft-developed software component that enables Windows 10 and later versions to read and display High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) images. HEIF is a modern image container format that uses advanced compression technology (typically HEVC/H.265) to store images with better quality at smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG.
This is a completely free heic to jpg converter software for Windows 11 and Windows 10. Below is the tutorial:
1. Open Microsoft Store Search for "HEIF Image Extension" Click "Install" (this is free)
2. Also search for "HEVC Video Extension" in Microsoft Store. The official Microsoft version may cost $0.99, but device manufacturers often provide it for free.
3. Right-click your HEIC file
4. Select "Open with" → "Paint"
5. Once opened, click "File" → "Save as"
6. Choose "JPEG picture" from the format dropdown
7. Select location and click "Save"
Troubleshooting
- Ensure both HEIF and HEVC extensions are installed
- Check that your Windows is updated (version 1803 or later)
- Try opening the file in different applications
- Verify the HEIC file isn't corrupted by testing on another device
