Convert HEIC to JPG on Windows Free — Batch, Folders, Windows 7 to 11

To convert HEIC to JPG on Windows free and without installing anything, open the FreeTools HEIC to JPG converter, drag in your files or a whole folder, pick JPG or PNG, and download the results as a ZIP. It runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, so the photos never leave your PC and it works the same on Windows 7, 10 and 11.

Available free in the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia and across the EU. Because files are processed in your own browser and never uploaded, no personal data crosses a border, which keeps use consistent with UK GDPR, EU GDPR and CCPA/CPRA expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?

Yes. Select a whole folder or hundreds of files and they are converted in one pass, then returned as a single ZIP. There is no per-file limit and no watermark.

Does this work on Windows 7?

Yes. The decoding happens in your browser rather than in Windows, so the version of Windows does not matter. Windows 7 has no Microsoft HEIC extension available, which is exactly why the browser route is useful there.

Can VLC convert HEIC to JPG?

No. VLC plays video and audio and does not decode HEIC still images. It is often confused with HEVC video, which uses related compression but is a different format.

How do I convert an AAE file to JPG?

You cannot, because an AAE file is not an image. It is a small XML sidecar holding the edits you made on your iPhone. The photo itself is the HEIC or JPG file with the same name next to it.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still convert.
