How it works
Empty a camera roll in three steps
From folder to finished JPGs without babysitting it — no account, no per-photo clicking, nothing leaving your computer.
Set the format once
Pick JPG, PNG or PDF and a quality level a single time. Those choices apply to every file in the batch — no repeating yourself.
Run it and walk away
Press Convert. Hundreds or thousands of images are written in parallel; a progress bar tracks the run and you can pause or resume anytime.
What it does
Made for large libraries, not single files
Six tools built around speed and volume — queue thousands, manage the run, and keep the data that matters.
01
Whole-folder conversion
Drop a year of photos and the queue builds itself. JPEG when you need to share, PNG when you need a lossless edit master, or one merged PDF for printing — the format you choose is applied across the entire batch in a single pass, so emptying a camera roll takes one click instead of thousands.
02
Thousands at once
Queue 2,400 photos or more and the app converts them in parallel across every CPU core.
03
Pause & resume big runs
Stop a long batch, close the lid, come back later — the queue picks up at the next pending file.
04
Videos in the same run
Mixed folder? Drop your iPhone H.265 (HEVC) movies in beside the stills and they queue up as H.264 MP4 — one batch handles a whole trip's photos and clips together.
05
Metadata across the queue
Date, camera, GPS and Display P3 color ride into every JPEG — or strip them for the whole run at once.
06
No upload, no wait
Files convert on your device the instant you hit go — no transfer to a server, so big libraries finish in minutes.
Inside the app
A queue built to chew through volume
Drag, drop, run. Click the tabs to see the live queue, a folder import of hundreds of files, the format picker, settings, metadata and video conversion.

HEIC Converter for MacmacOS 12 → 26 · Apple Silicon
On a MacBook, iMac or Mac mini you can select a full Photos album, drag it in, and the queue uses every core to write JPG, PNG or PDF beside the originals. It is a universal binary, so the batch runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel.

HEIC Converter for WindowsWindows 10 & 11

I had four years of iPhone shots — about 9,000 files — to hand off to a client. I dragged the whole archive folder into the HEIC converter, set JPG once, and went to lunch. By the time I came back the entire library was done. No website could have moved that fast.

Converting a whole iPhone library to JPG without uploading a single file
A modern iPhone fills its storage with HEIC images, and after a few years that adds up to thousands of photos older apps, Windows programs and many websites still cannot display. The fastest way to fix an entire camera roll at once is a desktop heic converter that works locally, and a free heic to jpg converter built for volume flattens a multi-year archive into shareable files in minutes.
The app described here is a small offline program — a true heic file converter that runs on your own machine instead of a website. Drag in a folder, choose one output for the whole batch, and this heic image converter writes clean copies in parallel across every processor core. There is no per-photo clicking, no daily ceiling and no watermark.
Honest answer to "is it really free": Yes — this heic to jpg converter free of charge is the full version, with no trial countdown and no per-batch paywall. Photo and video conversion are both included.
Why bulk HEIC needs converting
What a fast HEIC image converter changes for big libraries
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) packs roughly the same quality as JPEG into about half the file size, which is why a phone holds so many of them. The trouble starts when you move that pile elsewhere: each one needs decoding and re-encoding into a standard file, and doing that one at a time is impossible at scale. A heic to jpeg converter that processes a queue solves the compatibility problem and the volume problem together.
Most people only need a couple of outputs. A heic to png converter is ideal when you want lossless, edit-ready masters with transparency, while JPEG keeps files small for email and the web. Because everything happens on your computer, a heic to png converter free of upload limits grinds through an entire folder without touching the internet — and the same tool exports PDF, so one batch run covers sharing, archiving and printing.
"I had 9,000 photos from four years of shoots my client's Windows machine would not open. One overnight batch and they were all JPG — no website, no upload wait."
On a Mac & MacBook
Batch convert a camera roll on a Mac
macOS already reads HEIC, but the rest of the world does not — so a Mac heic converter to jpg is still essential the moment you hand a library off your machine. Here is what matters when you convert in bulk on a MacBook.
Drag a full album in
Select an entire Photos album or a Finder folder and drop it at once. As a free heic to jpg converter for Mac, the app reads HEIC natively and builds the queue instantly — no plug-in, no codec, no file-by-file picking.
Color and metadata, every file
Display P3 color and EXIF data carry into each JPEG across the batch, so photos stay searchable by date and place. A heic to jpg free converter should never quietly degrade a single shot in the run.
Bundle a set into one PDF
Need a printable file? The built-in heic to pdf converter merges a whole selection into one document — handy for a contact sheet, a batch of receipts, or an album you want to send as a single attachment.
Drag the folder, set JPG once, run. On macOS the queue keeps EXIF and P3 color intact while it writes copies across every core.
Desktop app vs the browser
A local app vs a heic to jpg converter online
A heic to jpg converter online is fine for one image, but it asks you to upload private photos and caps free runs. Three honest comparisons for anyone converting an entire library.
vs online tools
No upload, no daily cap
A website has to receive every file before it can touch it, then throttles free runs. A desktop app starts the instant you drop a folder, so a thousand-photo job finishes while a browser would still be uploading.
vs Preview / Photos
Built for batches, not one file
Exporting from Preview is fine for a photo or two; for a whole archive a dedicated heic to jpeg converter free of clicking processes thousands in one pass.
vs paid suites
Free, and focused on one job
You do not need a heavy photo suite to change a format in bulk. This app does the conversion fast and asks nothing in return.
On Windows 10 & 11
Convert a full HEIC import to JPG, PNG and PDF on Windows
Windows is where a transferred iPhone library causes the most grief — double-click a photo and it often will not open without a paid codec, and doing them one by one is hopeless when there are thousands. This app is the simplest heic converter to jpg for a PC at scale: install it, drag the whole import folder in, and every file becomes a standard image File Explorer, Office and browsers display normally.
Beyond photos it doubles as a heic converter to pdf, folding a stack of snapshots into one printable document. Everything runs on the PC itself — as a free heic to pdf converter that never uploads anything, it is far safer than pasting personal photos into a website.

How to clear a backlog the easy way
The routine is identical on both platforms and setup takes about a minute. Once installed you rarely touch the settings again — your last choices are remembered, so the next big batch is a single drag and one click.
Download & install
Get the free app for macOS or Windows from the Download button above — a tiny installer with no extras attached.
Drag your folders in
Drop whole folders, not single photos. The queue lists every file with its original and converted size, and you can add more while it runs.
Choose format & quality once
Pick JPG, PNG or PDF, set the JPEG quality slider, and decide whether to keep or strip EXIF and GPS data for the whole batch.
Run, pause, resume
Click Convert and let it work in parallel. Stop and resume anytime — the queue continues from the next pending file, never redoing finished work.
Set it once. Format, quality and metadata choices apply to the entire queue and stick for next time.
Why speed comes from staying local
The fast way to clear a giant library
When you have thousands of photos to convert, the bottleneck is almost never the conversion itself — it is the round-trip of uploading files to a server and downloading them back. Keeping everything on your own machine removes that wait entirely.
Local conversion = no upload wait, no limit
The app decodes and re-encodes every image on your Mac or PC using all available cores. No transfer, no account, no per-batch cap — which makes it the quickest free heic to pdf converter and JPG tool when the job runs into the thousands.
No batch limit
Convert ten photos or ten thousand — there is no daily cap and no queue on someone else's server to wait in.
Resume any run
Stop a long overnight batch and the queue remembers exactly where it was — nothing is reconverted when you start again.
No watermark, ever
Output is clean across the whole batch — your photo, your format, nothing stamped across any of them.
Whether you need a quick heic to jpeg converter free of cost for one screenshot or a heic to pdf converter free to bundle a year of receipts, running the job on your own device is faster and genuinely unlimited. One small download covers photos and video on both Mac and Windows.

Frequently asked
Questions about the batch HEIC converter
How many HEIC photos can I convert in one batch?
There is no cap. Because this heic file converter runs on your own machine, you can queue hundreds or several thousand files at once and the heic converter works through them in a single pass while you do something else.
Is the batch HEIC converter really free?
Yes. It is a free heic converter with the full feature set unlocked — no trial timer, no per-batch limit and no watermark. The same heic to jpg converter free of charge also handles PNG, PDF and HEVC video to MP4.
How fast can it convert a large iPhone library?
Very fast. Conversion happens locally, so there is no upload wait that an online tool would force on you. A folder of a few thousand shots usually finishes in a couple of minutes, and the heic to jpg converter uses every CPU core in parallel.
Can I drag an entire folder instead of single files?
Yes. Drop a whole folder of camera-roll exports and the heic converter to jpg flattens it into a queue automatically. You can keep adding folders while a batch is still running and the new files join the line.
What happens if a big batch is interrupted?
The queue remembers what finished. If you pause, close the lid or stop a run, the heic image converter resumes from the next pending file rather than redoing the photos that were already written.
Can it output PNG and PDF as well as JPG?
Yes. Alongside JPEG it is a heic to png converter for lossless edit copies and a heic to pdf converter that merges a selection into one document. You choose the format once and it applies to the whole queue.
