I have an iPhone 12 Pro. After taking a thousand photos, I decided to transfer them to computers running Windows 10. But these are incompatible by format. I have now set the camera to “more compatible” but the previous photos are always in heic. How do I turn them into jpegs all together? It would be absurd to use a third-party program to convert them one by one (eg Photoshop express). Thank you
Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices

"Converting this media
You can convert HEIF and HEVC media by exporting to a different format from an Apple or third-party app. "
The iPhone has also a Setting in the "Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC" section.
If the media are still on the iPhone, you can summarily convert them this way. This Setting has a big draw-back when importing to a Mac however. I do not know, if it will matter on a PC as well, but the automatic conversion when downloading the photos disables the duplicate detection. As long as the heic files are remaining on the iPhone, they will always appear as new photos when importing, because we are importing JPEGs from the iPhone and not the HEIC files.
Thank You very much!!!
Thank you so much :-)
I have these items in settings. I think leaving them “automatic” will convert them to JPEG on Windows 10.
From HEIC to JPEG
