HEIC file viewing

Hi suedama,

My name is Douglas and I am an Independent Advisor. I would like to help you. Let's try to install the following extension, please:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/heif-image-ex...

"To open the HEIC image, go to the Windows store link to get the HEIF extension here.

View HEIC & HEVC files on Windows 10 Photos app

Click on the Install button to install the HEIF codec.

It is important to note that, users would be needed to install both HEIF extension as well as HEVC extension to view images and play videos, as, HEIF files with HEIC file extension are compressed using HEVC format. It is mandatory to install both the extension
and installing a HEIC file extension alone without HEVC extension would fail to view .HEIC files images"

Help with .HEIC format photos.

As for me, this link says: HEIC Image Viewer is a widely used tool to view, print, convert photos, pictures and images.

Please try to find HEIC in Microsoft Store.

 

What's the time frame for Windows 10 adding HEIC format Support for Pictures?

Actually, not all Apple products support this format, only iPhone X/8 Plus/8/7 Plus/7, iPad Pro and iPad 9.7 powered with iOS 11 and A10 chip can take HEIC photos and HEIC can be opened on Macs shipped with macOS High Sierra as of now.

Since this question had been asked for months but without Microsoft's responding, waiting is obviously wasting time. If you mean that you want to
transfer iPhone HEIC photos to Windows for backup and view, you have to make use of the third-party tool at present. Just search them in Google, like HEIC photo transfer tool or HEIC photo viewer.
