Batch conversion, whole folders

Point it at a folder and it converts every HEIC and HEIF inside, using all your CPU cores. No per-file clicking and no daily limit.

Quality and size you control

Set JPEG quality to trade detail against file size, or export PNG when you want a lossless copy. For PNG-first work there is a dedicated HEIC to PNG converter. Resize on the way out if the originals are heavy at 3024x4032.

Built-in viewer and fixes

Open HEIF files in the bundled viewer, rotate or crop before export, and rename copies by the date each photo was taken. A command line is there for scripted jobs.

Who it's for

iPhone owners on Windows

You moved photos to a PC and Windows won't open the HEICs. Convert the lot to JPG once and they open everywhere.

Creators and small shops

You batch-prep product or social images and need them resized and in JPG, not a format half your tools reject.

Power users and admins

You would rather script the conversion - a watch folder or a command-line call - than repeat a manual step every time.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Why won't my HEIC files open on Windows?

HEIC stores photos with the HEVC (H.265) codec, which Windows does not include by default - see our convert hevc to jpg guide for the codec-vs-container details. The official extension only lets you view some files, not batch-convert them, so converting to JPG is the dependable fix.

❓ Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. The HEIF converter runs on your PC and writes the JPEGs locally. Nothing is sent to a server.

❓ Can it convert a whole folder at once?

Yes. Add a folder and it processes the entire batch in one run, across all your CPU cores.

❓ Will converting to JPG lose quality?

JPEG is lossy, so heavy compression adds artifacts. Start from the original HEIC and pick a high quality setting, or convert HEIC to PNG when you want a lossless copy.

❓ What is the difference between HEIF and HIF files?

They are the same format. HEIF is the standard name, HEIC is Apple's version, and some cameras label the file HIF. This converter reads all of them.

❓ Does it keep the photo's date?

It can rename the converted files by the date each photo was taken, so your shots stay in order in the output folder.

❓ Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download the free trial for Windows 10 or 11 and convert your own photos before you buy a license. Free version shows a nag screen after some processed batches.

❓ What is the best HEIF to JPG converter?

Short answer: a desktop converter that batches whole folders locally, without uploading photos anywhere. Long answer: online HEIF to JPG tools are fine for a single photo, but they cap file counts and route your images through someone else's server. SoftOrbits HEIF to JPG Converter runs on your Windows PC, converts an entire folder in one pass, and keeps the original color profile intact - all without an internet connection.
