iMazing Converter – Easily convert Apple HEIC and HEVC files to JPG, PNG, or MP4

It seems every week we get a question asking us how to open HEIC image files on Windows. Apple, for some reason, likes to lock everyone into the Apple universe and make it difficult for Apple & Windows users to share files. HEIC is Apple’s default photo format, but it isn’t universally supported. But we’re going to tell you about a program called iMazing HEIC Converter. It’s free and we highly recommend it.

iMazing Image Converter is completely free. It’s a simple drag-and-drop interface that supports batch conversion, allows you to adjust quality, and preserve/remove EXIF metadata. It’s straightforward to use.

If you have or your friends have iPhones, you’ve probably noticed those weird “.HEIC” files when you try to move your photos to your Windows computer or when your friends send you photos from their iPhones (or other Apple devices) Or mayb you have iPhone videos that are in “.HEVC” format and you can’t open them on your Windows computer. Annoying, right?

That’s where iMazing Converter swoops in, and honestly, it’s a little lifesaver. It’s totally free, which is awesome, and it does one thing well: it turns those tricky HEIC photos into normal JPEGs or PNGs, and those HEVC videos into standard MP4s.

You don’t need a manual or instructions.

Seriously, it’s just drag and drop. You drop HEIC photos or HEVC videos into the app window, pick if you want them as JPEGs (or PNGs/MP4s), hit “Convert,” and that’s it, you’re done. No complicated menus or settings to confuse you.

Batch conversion made easy.

This is a big one. If you’ve got a whole folder of HEIC photos, you can just drag the whole folder into iMazing. It converts them all at once, which saves a ton of time compared to doing them one by one.

It’s free… really free.

It’s free and easy to use. It’s fantastic and it doesn’t cost a dime.

Quick and Clean

The app itself is small and doesn’t hog your computer’s resources. Conversions are very fast, too.

Photo tweaking options

If you choose, you can actually tweak the quality and resolution a bit if you want. So if you need smaller files for emailing, you can dial it down, or keep it super high quality if you’re printing.

No, it’s not a photo editor.

It’s not a photo editor, so don’t expect to crop or add filters. It does what it was made for, converting specific Apple formats to JPG, PNG, and MP4 formats, which you can then easily view on Windows.

If you work with HEIC or HEVC files

If you’re a Windows user with an iPhone or many of your friends have iPhones and share HEIC or HEVC files with you, and you’re tired of dealing with files that won’t open on Windows, just download iMazing Converter. It’s simple, it’s free, and it just works. It’s one of those little utility apps that you install and then forget about until you need it, and it always delivers. We highly recommend it.

    Your recommendation of iMazing Converter was indeed timely. I had just that morning been faced with a whole lot of HEIC files for the first time when I downloaded from a new phone. To have the answer to my problem almost before I knew I had a problem was truly amazing!
    Thank you TC and EB for pointing this program out.

      There is a “Getting too much email?” at the top of every email that comes from a subscription. It gives you an unsubscribe option without jumping through hoops.
