HEIC Converter Plus

The HEIC format is good to have around: saving your photos this way can help reduce strain on your storage, and the overall image quality won't really take a hit. If you go pixel-peeping, perhaps you might notice something, but as it is right now, the HEIC format is hard to beat.

One of the pitfalls of the extension lies in its compatibility — or lack thereof. Trying to share or preview such a photo can have you run into problems on many devices, which is why HEIC Converter Plus can be a useful tool. The program can convert a HEIC file into a JPG or PNG in a few clicks.

It won't take much work for anyone to get started with such a program: everything is rather clear-cut from the beginning, and the functional interface is very helpful in that regard. You can begin by adding your HEIC files manually, or you can specify the folder where they're located, and the app will automatically recognize them.

Upon recognizing the files, the app will allow you to select which ones to convert, as well as choose a suitable output format. Two formats are accepted: the unmistakable .JPG and .PNG extensions.

Before proceeding with the conversion, users can tweak the quality of the resulting JPG file via Encoder options. Higher quality translates to superior image fidelity, but higher storage cost, while stepping down to a lower value has the opposite effect. These options are not available when choosing to output as .PNG.

Aside from that, the tool has all the markings of a batch converter, which it does put to good use. Users can convert multiple files at once with little effort, and they come out as advertised.

HEIC is a great format, and though it is the successor of JPEG in many ways, it's not quite there in terms of compatibility. HEIC Converter Plus can help you with that.
