HEIC to JPG file convertor - Photo Buffs.....

[salty_monk]

Apples new Format.

Other than numerous "upload 5 images and download" type convertors a Google search found me has anyone else found a better way of dealing with HEIC? I know Windows 10 can convert them but only one of my machines is Win 10 & it's not the most convenient one to use for the process so was hoping to find something I can use on Win 7...

I still use Win 7 primarily due to legacy software that I can't get on Win 10 (or software I own that I don't want to have to start renting....)

Following, as I occasionally have dealers and customers send me pics in that HEIC format. And I, one of the last hold-outs in my company still using 7, can't open the picture files.

A quick google brought up these two which would work for an odd file (they do work, I tried both) but not for bulk & maybe some issues with uploading pictures to who knows where (although I guess we all sort of do that these days anyway.... )

Salty,
I just tried tried the first link in post #3 https://heictojpg.com/. Worked great. Drag and drop the file from my email right into the browser, and after a few moments of processing, click to download the jpeg. Very Neat. And I didn't have to install any other software, something I'm always wary of.

The second link https://cloudconvert.com/heic-to-jpg. works too, just took longer because no drag and drop.

Pretty Slick. I've saved the first link to my favorites bar in Chrome.

Thanks for the tips.

I read that Adobe Photo Raw (Photoshop) will open them, but never tried. Mostly because I've never needed to.

Does the site steal copyright? And scan content and metadata?

Thats a good question. I’ll have to read the fine print. Are you endorsing the imaging software?

Yes I didn't study it either as the images I put there were not important ones.... The 2nd one definitely says pretty clearly that they don't hold anything for more than 2 hours though.
