To view HEIC/HEIF file on Windows 10 PC, the following 4 requirements are necessary.

  1. Update Windows 10 to 1809 or later
  2. In Microsoft Store, get the 'Microsoft Photos' (Released by Microsoft and Free) , and set it as Windows Default Photo Viewer
  3. In Microsoft Store, get the 'HEIF Image Extensions' (Released by Microsoft and Free)
  4. In Microsoft Store, get the 'HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer' (Released by Microsoft and Free)

Please note, there are 2 versions of 'HEVC Video Extensions', one you have to pay for $1, another is free, get the free one from the following URL:

CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS A STICKY??? (4th time of posting...)

There is a FREE - as in NO

COST, NO BITCOINS (of any value), no Dollars. ****

FREE Codec Here:

Codecs.com | Downloads

for HEVC Video Extension 1.0.41483

even though it SAYS 'Video', this enables HEIC support in

Windows.

again:

FREE Codec at:Codecs.com | Downloads for HEVC Video Extension 1.0.41483

(free-codecs.com)

(I have no association with codecs.com, just trying to help...)

    THANK YOU FOR ASKING BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOS FROM MY NOW ONE YEAR OLD iPhone 12 TO MY HP LAPTOP. I WAS ABLE TO TRANSFER ONCE BUT SOMETHING CHANGED AROUND JANUARY '21 AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO A NORMAL TRANSFER SINCE. I AM ABLE TO TRANSFER APPROXIMATELY 10% OF A DOWNLOAD BUT I'M NEVER ABLE TO CHOOSE WHICH 10% TRANSFERS. I'M TOLD THERE IS A FREE AP THAT I NEED BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND NO ONE ELSE THAT I'VE ASKED HAS HEARD OF IT.

    Please read the two posts marked Answer on the first page of the thread. Both have been marked Helpful by a number of people.

    Or (few minutes later) is your problem in transferring the images, not opening them?
