What's the best heic to jpg converter for PC Windows 11 in 2025?
I had the same issue—over 2,000 HEIC photos and nothing could open them properly on Windows 11. Ended up using TuneBro HEIC Converter—super fast, easy to batch convert to JPG, and no quality loss.
You can check this guide: (worth a try)

The Photos app that comes with Windows 11 can also handle HEIC to JPG conversion. While it can only convert one image at a time, it's still a handy option for small-scale conversions.
How to do it:
- Locate your HEIC image, right-click it, and choose "Open with" → "Photos".
- Once the image is open, click on the "..." (More options) in the top right corner.
- Select "Save as", change the format to JPG, and save it.
This method works well if you only need to convert a few HEIC files to JPG. The biggest advantage is that no additional software is needed—Windows 11 has the feature built-in. However, it doesn’t support batch conversion, so if you have 2,000+ HEIC files to convert, you’ll need a better option, like using PowerShell scripts for bulk conversion! 😆
I don't have a batch of photos to convert from heic to jpg. Just a few. Tried the open in Paint, save as=the result was a blank white "photo", could not figure a way to make it work.
Tried the open in Photos, was led to the "need codec from MS store, which further led me to hevc video extension. Read the comments, apparently the down load did not work, besides, I am Not TRYING TO view videos, but pictures. I agree, this new pc I purchased in July 2024, and the installed windows 11 applications should have had a way to view the newer heic photos and save them to jpg. I am referring to pictures that were sent to me from an iPhone friend to my Android.

Indeed, the Photos app that comes with Windows 11 can process HEIC to JPG, but it can only convert one at a time, so batch conversion is a bit troublesome.
If you use PowerShell to batch convert HEIC to JPG, is there a way to customize the output quality? For example, adjust the JPG quality or change the resolution? This way, when converting more than 2,000 photos at a time, you can better control the file size and clarity.
