CopyTrans HEIC for Windows

Whether Apple's new HEIC format (short for High-Efficiency Image File) will be fully supported in future version of Windows or not remains to be seen.

However, as a PC user, if you do happen to have an iOS device, then we're sure that the whole HEIC situation might prove to be a bit troublesome, even though you could always go back to shooting JPEG on your iOS device.

Of course, you may already be aware of various useful utilities capable of dealing with the HEIC, however, there's one more that might or should catch your attention, namely CopyTrans HEIC for Windows.

In just a few words, once installed on your computer's system, this simple Windows plug-in allows you to view iOS HEIC images natively, using an older version of Windows Photo Viewer (in the case of Windows 10).

And that's not all as it also features fairly useful Explorer integration. More to the point, you can also explore HEIC files by simply looking at their thumbnails, as well as view their EXIF metadata (Properties -> Details).

Don't try to look for the app's user interface since there isn't one. However, apart from displaying HEIC files natively and allowing you to view them via the Windows Picture Viewer, right-click any HEIC file and you're bound to discover another noteworthy integration.

In addition to everything else, CopyTrans HEIC for Windows also offers a very convenient way of converting any HEIC file to JPEG and, even better, it works with multiple files as well.

Taking everything into account, CopyTrans HEIC for Windows is definitely a must-have for anyone that has trouble dealing with HEIC files from his or her iOS device on any Windows computer.

It boasts a very interesting mix of features, acting both as a HEIC viewer and a simplistic HEIC converter, without over-emphasizing its presence on your computer's system.
