Windows 10: .heic in Windows

Hi, my PC is running Windows 10 happy to upgrade to 11 and I downloaded some iPhone images .heic. My Photos app opens those files without a problem I have not upgraded anything or installed HEIF Image Extensions. Other Apps appear to have problems seeing the .heic files at all. I use a third party software in which I upload images and that software is not able to see the .heic files. I tried 3D paint and the same there, can't open the files. Photos can convert .heic to .jpg, that helps in the meantime, but that's not what I'm after in the long run;Is HEIF Image Extensions the way to go t

:)

 

HEIC

Hi Edward,

We need more information about your concern. Are you trying to convert and open other image format to HEIC? If yes, a certain program will be needed to open that kind of file, we suggest checking the Windows Store for programs that can convert other image
format to HEIC. Make sure to download the program with the highest rating and good reviews.

Regards.

See the following articles:

• What is HEIC?
• Everything you need to know about the JPEG-killing HEIF format Apple is adopting

If you want to keep using HEIC on your iPhone (and there seems to be good reason to do that), you'll need some third-party utility. I don't know which of them have ads and which don't. However,

CopyTrans HEIC for Windows seems to be pretty popular and it's free for home users. See, for example,

HEIC file viewing

I have the HEIC Image extensions and the HEVC video extensions on my Windows 10 PC but the TWINUI application will still not open the HEIC file. Any suggestions?

I have tried converting it to JPG using the APowersoft application but it downloads the file to a location that does not seem to exist on my PC - "...Users/[user name]\AppData\temp...

Thanks.
