Method 2: Using the CopyTrans HEIC Application for Windows
The second way you can try is to use the application CopyTrans HEIC for Windows. This app is a third-party app that can also help you to open and convert HEIC photos to JPEG in Windows 11.
This application has more complete and flexible features compared to the HEIF Image Extensions application. You can convert HEIC photos to JPEG in bulk or all at once, choose the quality or size of the JPEG file you want, and also convert HEIC photos into other formats such as PNG or BMP.
Here are the steps to use the CopyTrans HEIC for Windows application:
- Go to the official website of CopyTrans HEIC for Windows at this link. Click the Download button to download the application on your computer. Wait for the downloading process to complete.
- Open the file you have downloaded and follow the installation instructions that appear on the screen. Once the app is installed, you’ll be asked to choose whether you want to convert HEIC photos to JPEG automatically or manually. Bardimin recommends that you choose the Manual option so you can control the quality and size of the resulting JPEG file.
- After that, open the folder containing the HEIC photos that you want to convert to JPEG. You can preview these photos in Windows Explorer.
- Select the HEIC photos you want to convert, then right-click and select Convert to JPEG with CopyTrans. Alternatively, you can press the Ctrl+Alt+J key on your keyboard.
- A new window will appear showing the HEIC photos you selected. Here, you can choose the desired JPEG file quality or size by sliding the slider at the bottom. You can also change the file format to PNG or BMP by clicking the button to the right of the slider. In addition, you can also select the destination folder where you want to save JPEG photos by clicking the Browse button at the top.
- Once you’re done setting your preferences, click the Convert button at the bottom. Wait for the conversion process to complete. You will see that the HEIC photos you selected have been turned into JPEG in the destination folder you specified. You can open and edit these photos with any app you want.
The advantage of this method is that you can convert HEIC photos into JPEG in bulk or all at once, without the need to copy and paste the photos one by one. You can also choose the quality or size of the JPEG file you want, according to your needs and storage capacity. In addition, you can also convert HEIC photos into other formats such as PNG or BMP, if you want to get better results or better suit your purpose.
However, the downside to this method is that you have to download and install third-party applications that may not be completely trusted or safe. You should be careful when downloading and installing such applications, as there may be a risk of malware or viruses that could damage your computer. In addition, you should also pay attention to the license and terms of use of the application, as there may be restrictions or fees charged for the use of the application.
