Help! How do I convert HEIC to JPG in batches on Windows 11?
I had the same issue with HEIC photos when I transferred over 200 pictures from my iPhone to my Windows 11 PC—it was a nightmare trying to convert them one by one. Then I found TuneBro HEIC Converter, and it saved me! It’s super simple to use, converts in batches, keeps the image quality, and I didn’t have to worry about privacy or ads.
I followed this tutorial:

One important thing you should pay attention to when choosing a reliable HEIC to JPG converter is checking if EXIF ((Exchangeable Image File Format)) data is lost or not. EXIF data contains valuable metadata about your photos, such as camera settings, geolocation, date and time, and more. Ensuring this information is retained during conversion maintains the integrity and usefulness of your images.
Different command-line tools handle EXIF data differently. Here's how you can ensure EXIF data is preserved when converting HEIC to JPG using the previously mentioned tools LMagic. It will keep all the EXIF data by default. To ensure EXIF data is preserved, you can use the -strip option to remove metadata or omit it to keep metadata intact. Since you want to preserve EXIF data, simply avoid using -strip.
After conversion, it's essential to verify that the EXIF data has been preserved correctly. Here's how you can do it:
- Open File Explorer and locate the converted JPG file.
- Right-click on the image and select Properties.
- Go to the Details tab to view EXIF metadata.
Note: Before performing batch HEIC to JPG conversions, ensure you have backups of your original HEIC files.
