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.

HEIC is an image format that uses HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) compression. It is widely used because it offers higher image quality at smaller file sizes compared to older formats like JPEG. All iPhones, some of the Android phones and digital cameras uses its as the default image format.
Unfortunately, Windows 11 does not natively support HEIC images due to licensing and technical reasons. HEIC relies on HEVC (H.265) compression, which is protected by patents. Microsoft would need to pay licensing fees to include native support for HEIC/HEVC in Windows. To avoid these costs, Microsoft does not include HEIC support by default.
Luckily, Microsoft provides HEIC and HEVC support as optional codecs that users can download from the Microsoft Store. These codecs are often free for basic use, but advanced features may require a paid version. If you need to view or edit HEIC images on Windows 11, you can install the necessary codecs. Search for "HEVC Video Extensions" or "HEIF Image Extensions" in the Microsoft Store. Install the extensions to enable HEIC support.
While HEIC is efficient, it is not as universally supported as older formats like JPEG. To do this, you need a dedicated heic to jpeg converter for Windows 11 PC. By installing these extensions and apps, Windows 11 users can work with HEIC images seamlessly.
