How to Bulk Convert HEIC images to JPG on Windows 11 PC?
Surprisingly, the photos taken on my iPhone 13 Pro are saved in .heic format when I connected it to my Windows 11 PC and plan to edit some of them in Photoshop. I have roughly 1000 images on iPhone and would love to learn a fast way to bulk convert .heic to jpg on my PC.
[Update] Still receive notification from this thread from time to time. Actually, I installed a few heic converters, the one that finally worked is TunesBro HEIC Converter, suggested by Mohamed857. Here is the step-by-step tutorial (external link removed by moderator) you can check out.
Note: Be careful with the first link suggested by KorayKazak. User mldobbs62 reported that he has been charged $39.99 by SoftOrbits Convert HEIC to JPG.
Also tried iMazing Converter but the conversion failed on my computer.

Josephnyz Can anyone tell me if there are any FREE APPS to convert HEIC to JPEG!? I'm not a big user but I need this to list something I'm trying to sell~Thanks Linda
- Hi, Linda. I'm not sure whether anyone has replied yet and I'm not a regular user of a conversion app BUT if you check out this somewhat long stream of messages, there are several suggestions for apps. Good luck!
Best way I know is upload to iCloud, open the Photos tab, and select the download option as JPEG.
Alternatively, on your iPhone, open the OneDrive folder in Files containing the HEIC photos. In the folder in Files:
- select all the HEIC photos
- select the three dots in a circle in the lower RHS; select convert Image.
Sometimes copying from Photos in the iPhone app and pasting to the cloud storage folder autoconverts to JPG.
JosephnyzThanks for the update. Saved my life. Converted 200+ heic images from my iPhone 15 Pro and no problem with tunesbro heic converter. Wasted two hours on trying the free online converter without any luck!
- Did you transfer the images to your PC before trying to convert using imazing! , I had no issues what so ever working and converting direct on PC I'm not sure it can convert from iphones directory viewed from your PC I think it best to transfer images before you convert.
for future reference in case your not aware or any one else you can switch your iphone to save images in jpeg form instead of HEIC though it does say HEIC is slightly better quality! though I personally can't see it with naked eye. I'm happy with jpeg so I switched.
To change it open Settings on your iPhone
Tap Camera.
Tap Formats.
Tap Most Compatible.
you can switch back High efficiency at any time should you prefer.
You will now be able to take JPEG pictures instead of HEIC from now on though its best to remove your HEIC photos first so you don't mix them up you will also shoot H.264 for video instead of HEVC. Certainly! I also used TunesBro HEIC Converter to change lots of .heic image to PNG, it saved the day when I found myself stuck with HEIC format photos on my iPhone, causing compatibility headaches with non-Apple devices. Its hassle-free installation and user-friendly interface made converting HEIC to JPEG a breeze, preserving image quality while delivering lightning-fast results.
So, I recently got myself one of those fancy new iPhones, and it comes with this nifty HEIC photo format. It's all cool for saving space, but when it comes to sharing pics with friends who aren't on Team Apple, well, that's a bit of a pickle.
I decided to give TunesBro HEIC Converter a try after a friend recommended it to me. Here's how my experience went:
1. The main reason I got this software was to convert my HEIC photos to JPEG. All I had to do was drag and drop the HEIC files into the program, select the output format (JPEG, in my case), and click the "Convert" button. It was that simple. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the software converted my photos. Even when dealing with a batch of images, it didn't take long at all. This was a huge time-saver for me.
2. I was a bit concerned that the conversion might result in a loss of image quality, but that wasn't the case. The converted JPEG photos looked just as good as the original HEIC files.
I'd definitely recommend giving TunesBro HEIC Converter a try, it solved the compatibility issue I had with HEIC photos and made sharing images a breeze. Plus, the software was so user-friendly that I didn't feel like I needed to be a tech guru to use it effectively.
Hello,
I understood from what I read that the photos are indeed stored as HEIC in the phone's memory.However, instead of importing your photos as HEIC and then converting them on your PC, you should be able to import them directly as JPG (having the phone convert them upon transfer). For this, change the settings on the iPhone. I have it in French but in English the option in the camera settings should be named something like "Transfer to Mac or PC" and then a choice between Original file (=HEIC) and Automatic (=HEIC when transferring to a Mac and JPG in other cases).
Yours,
Maxime
