I have encountered a similar situation before. I had a lot of HEIC format photos that needed to be converted to JPG in batches. In the end, I used TunsBro HEIC Converter, and the effect was really good! It supports batch processing and can maintain the original quality of the pictures. It is especially suitable for processing hundreds of photos like you.
I followed this tutorial (worked for me)

Libheif is an open-source library specifically designed to handle HEIF and HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) files. This format is known for its efficient image compression, enabling high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG.
With Libheif’s heif-convert utility, users can easily convert HEIC images to other formats, including PNG. This process allows PC users to view and edit HEIC images across a range of applications that may not support HEIC natively. Here’s a quick guide to using Libheif for bulk converting heic to png on Windows:
heif-convert input-image.heic output-image.png
Once the conversion completes, your new PNG file will be available in the specified directory, ready to be opened and edited.

Matopias To run Libheif effectively, especially on Windows, you may need to install additional dependencies or libraries. This can complicate setup and may require some technical knowledge.
Unlike more feature-rich HEIC to PNG converter tools, Libheif’s command-line interface is limited in editing capabilities. For instance, it does not offer advanced image editing, resizing, or compression options directly in the command.
Libheif doesn’t support batch processing out of the box, so if you need to convert multiple HEIC images to PNG, you’ll have to use a script to automate the process or convert each image individually, which can be time-consuming.
