davegee Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi, Can anyone recommend a Converter for HEIC to JPG which does batch Conversions? DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Dave, I use online image editor to convert HEIC to JPEG: Photopea.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegee Posted April 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks Denis, I had forgotten about Faststone. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted April 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi Denis, Unfortunately, Faststone requires the Extensions which are downloadable from Microsoft and that shop is not responding. I have found "HEIC to Jpeg" which does a good job but will only do a maximum of three HEIC files in the free version. The Pro version does batch conversions but again my problem is that, for some reason, the Microsoft Shop is not responding and I cannot purchase it. DG P.S. I have changed my phone from iPhone to Samsung and the HEIC files are from the iPhone. I have made sure that the HEIC option is turned OFF on the Samsung!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi Dave, I don't download something from Microsoft (except windows 0) and I can read .heic with faststone ( more recent Windows 10) Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted April 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi Denis, Thanks for that. There is obviously something different about our setups. Do you have Windows 10 Pro perhaps? I have just finished converting 300 HEIC files to JPG using "HEIC to JPEG" (3 at a time) and I have no need to convert any more (I hope). I will make sure that HEIC is turned off in future. This was something that needed to be done because there were a lot of pics of my late wife that need to be preserved. DG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanfi22 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 just tested with Fastone to convert an .heic to .jpg and it's OK Windows 10 (up to date release and family edition) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Many thanks to everyone for their contribution. This is no longer an issue and I have completed the task using "HEIC to JPEG". However, with regard to Faststone, (and Photos) this is what I see: When I try to open a HEIC file in either Photos or Faststone I get a message similar to that above. When I go to the Microsoft Store and click on the required download the site freezes. My computer is fast and I have no other browsing difficulties - it only appears to be this site. I WOULD like to solve the problem but the problem appears to be acquiring the necessary component. Any thoughts on this? DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hi Dave, I found that 2 Programs extensions are installed on my Windows 10 Home(Build 19045): Extension vidéo HEVC (in French) HEIF Image Extension I don't know if it is windows or another program who made this install.

davegee Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hello Denis, This is a copy of my system Windows Spec. I think that probably you have installed "something" which allows you to see and edit HEIC files. Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on 05/12/2020 OS build 19045.2846 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0 DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digartal Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hi Dave Perhaps the issue is that the link did not work? Did you go directly to the Microsoft Store? I just checked, opened, and searched HEIC Batch Converter, found numerous options and could download and install. Cannot send you the link but here is a screenshot. This detailed information from Adobe https://www.adobe.com/au/creativecloud/file-types/image/raster/heic-file.html. Hope this helps?

davegee Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yes Mark, I was able to download "HEIC to Jpeg" converter in a similar way, but that does not give me access to the extension that I am looking for to be able to VIEW HEIC files. As I said above, I have completed the task but would like to obtain the Windows Extension for viewing HEIC files for future use. The freezing of the site when following the Windows Links has been documented by other users in various forums. DG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you are after? Googled "HEIC Viewer Microsoft Strore" - found, opened, downloaded and installed. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/heic-image-viewer/9MXHSBJRS7SH?hl=en-us&gl=us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
