This is the absolute easiest way to convert your iPhone photos (.heic) on a Windows computer into standard .jpg files.
You do NOT need to install ImageMagick, and you do not need Jupyter Notebook. It is a standalone app window!
- Install Python:
If you don't already have Python installed on your computer, download it from Python.org.
⚠️ CRITICAL: When installing Python, make sure to check the box that says "Add python.exe to PATH" at the very bottom of the first screen! - Double-click the
Start.batfile: A black window will quickly flash to install the background components (it takes 10 seconds), and then an App window will pop up! - Convert! Click "Browse" to select your folder full of HEIC photos, and click the big green Start Conversion button.
Instead of relying on clunky system installations like ImageMagick, this app uses pillow and pillow-heif directly inside Python to convert the images. Start.bat silently verifies you have these libraries installed using pip before spinning up the Tkinter user interface.
