WALTR HEIC Converter

When it comes to image file formats, HEIC has been discussed a lot recently; mostly because it’s a virtually lossless format that doesn’t take up a lot of storage space, but also because it’s a format that most Windows users don’t have access to. Well, more like didn’t, because Windows 10 has also started to support HEIC files since April 2018.

However, if you don’t yet use Windows 10, or just haven’t added the necessary extensions to support this file format, then you might need the very quick and very easy to use WALT HEIC Converter.

Developers Softorino describe their HEIC converter software as “stupid-simple”, and we can’t really argue. You open the app, you drag and drop the files, you press convert and you’re done. That’s all it does, and does it very well.

HEIC is a file type that some predict will soon replace the ever-popular but lossy JPG as the standard image format. It offers lossless quality and small file sizes, so if you want to keep that quality, you’re probably better off converting HEIC images to the more trustworthy PNG format (which WALT HEIC Converter can also do).

But beyond its practicality, WALT HEIC Converter also impresses with its design. Even though you don’t need to keep it open for more than a minute, you’ll probably end up spending just a few more seconds to get a better glimpse at that dark, poster-like rectangular window in the middle of your desktop. Such a beautiful design for such a minimalistic software should not go unnoticed.

Simply put, all the latest iPhones and iPads now use HEIC for the possibilities it offers, even though it’s not a format developed by Apple, but by the MPEG Group.  This means that you’ll be seeing HEIC a lot more often, but it will probably be a slow process. WALT HEIC Converter could be a useful thing to have for sharing photos between friends who may use different devices.
