Is there an easy way to convert heic to jpg in bulk?
I totally understand! I recommend three zero-threshold solutions, any one of which can solve the heic to jpg conversion problem:
▼ Solution ① Desktop tool (recommended)
Tool: HEIC to jpg Converter
Operation: Download → drag in photos → click convert (supports 500 batches, retains complete EXIF)
Advantages: Windows/Mac compatible, automatically generates jpg+heic double folders after conversion, original image quality is lossless
▼ Solution ② Cloud automation (no installation required)
Batch export using Google Photos web version: upload heic → select all → automatically convert heic to jpg when downloading (note that you need to climb over the wall)
▼ Solution ③ Script repair (for your previous Python problem)
If you insist on using Python, add two lines to the code:
from PIL import Image
img.save("output.jpg", exif=img.info.get("exif")) # Force inheritance of EXIF
You need to use the pyheif library to read heic first, I will send you the complete script for the example
I want to use the first solution! Will the timestamp of the converted photos be retained?

Yes, the EXIF information is intact before and after the conversion. Special reminder: If you use the "Photos" application that comes with Windows to import, the timestamp may be reset. It is recommended to copy the file directly using the Explorer.
