![]() ![]() I just updated XnConvert and discovered HEIC is an allowable input format but not an output format. But you reminded me to check my XnConvert app. and GC would be an obvious choice for the batch conversion. And he usually responds quickly to inquiries. ![]() I'd ask over at Lemke Software if something can be converted to something, Mr Lemke usually finds a way for Graphic Converter to do it. I've seen the 16 bit option grayed out in Preview as well, but never seen any software that can do >8 bit for HEIC. If I didn't want more than 8 bits, I'd be perfectly well catered for. It does lossless, but no more than 8 bits. (I'm not sure how much newer.)Įxports might be limited to 8 bits per channel and lossy compression. You need a version of macOS newer than El Capitan. Preview can export photos in HEIC format. Maybe someone else knows of one and jump in. It only tells us you are a late adopter.Īfaik, there is currently no software that allows you to save as/export to HEIC. My advice would be to wait a few more years and see how it develops, before jumping to HEIC. I'm trying to act on my own needs, not hop on board a trend. How many of them got implemented upstream by the world's biggest image-making company? How many of them additionally got integrated by Canon? You're right, nobody can predict the future, but at this point I don't care. But none of these formats survived or even came close to replacing JPG or TIF or native RAW formats. Over the years many “better” formats saw the light and caused a hype. It may conquer the world, but it also may not. Why not go for that?Ĭurrently HEIC is mainly used for mobile devices. You can convert to TIF with any flavor of choice. No I don't want 4 16-bit TIFF files per GB, thanks very much. If disk space is your argument then personally I’d say: disk space is cheap. If interoperability is your argument then you’re further off using HEIC. I just want lossless 'processed image' files larger than 8 bit that aren't massive. Like anything new, there can be some growing pains in using HEIC over JPEG, especially if you have an iPhone paired with a Windows 10 PC.įortunately, it doesn’t have to be an awkward process and with the apps and extensions we’ve used here, you can open and convert HEIC files to JPEG on Windows 10 with ease.I’m curious what your arguments are to switch to HEIC. You’ll now have copies with the same file names but saved as a JPEG instead of a HEIC file. Once you’re happy with your settings, click ‘Convert’, choose the folder you want to save to, and hit ‘OK’. Before anything happens you can choose between JPEG and PNG formats, whether you want to preserve the EXIF data and how high you want the quality to be. Once you have the app installed and open, all you need to do is drag and drop the files you want to convert into the app window. ![]() It’s lightweight and extremely simple to use. To convert larger batches, we’re using a free app from the Microsoft Store called ‘ iMazing HEIC Converter (opens in new tab)’. Opening an image in the Windows 10 Photos app and saving a copy is OK if you have one image, or maybe a small number, but what about if you have a lot that you want to convert. ![]() (Image credit: TechRadar) How to quickly convert HEIC files to JPEG in Windows 10 ![]()
