Hello everyone,

I have HEIC format images that I copied from iPhone to Windows. I'm having an issue where I can't open them, forcing me to use the https://heictools.io/ tool to convert every time.

Is there a program in Windows that supports opening these files without the need to convert them.

Thank you in advance!

Refer to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/windows11/heic-image-extension-not-working-on-windows-11-are-there-any-heic-extension-alte/4387238

TuneBro HEIC Converter opens HEIC files without extra extensions and allows batch conversion to JPG/PNG with no quality loss.
