Operation steps:

3. Enter the folder where the HEIC images are stored, for example:

cd "C:\Users\username\Pictures"

Wait for the conversion to complete, all HEIC files will be automatically converted to JPG and kept in the same folder.

$heicFiles = Get-ChildItem -Filter *.heic
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
foreach ($file in $heicFiles) {
    $img = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($file.FullName)
    $jpgPath = "$($file.DirectoryName)\$($file.BaseName).jpg"
    $img.Save($jpgPath, [System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat]::Jpeg)
    $img.Dispose()
}
