In this tutorial, I will show how to quickly save selected iPhone photos to a PC and convert a folder with HEIC images to JPG.

Transfer HEIC folders to PC

CopyTrans Studio is designed to do advanced backups of iPhone media files to a PC. Here is how you can create albums with HEIC images from your iPhone.

In this example, I chose to save Live Photos.

1. Download and install CopyTrans Studio to your PC. It has the instruments to transfer your heic photos from an iPhone to a PC as well as the built-in codec to view and convert heic.

2. Connect your iPhone to the PC using a cable. Later on, you can enable Wi-Fi connection.
3. Your iPhone photo and video gallery will be available in your Windows Explorer. Select your device, then “Photo library”.

4. There are several ways you can access your iPhone heic photos on Windows. You can of course just browse through your gallery in the “All photos” folder and transfer .heic images 1 by 1 to a folder on your PC. I will show you a more advanced way. To do so, select “Create Smart album” in the “Action” tab.

5. I decided to save Live Photos from my summer 2022. At that time, I wasn’t aware that I was shooting in Live mode and that the pictures were in HEIC format. Now they take a lot of my storage space.
   So I want to save them as still images and then convert to a Windows compatible format to share with my family. To do so, I set criteria as “Media Type” is “Live photo”. To keep the pics only from Summer 2022, I select “Date between”.

6. The folder with filtered photos appears in the Smart Albums section. I can then drag it to the PC to save.

So we are done with transferring the folder with HEIC images from the iPhone to the PC. You can now view HEIC thumbnails and open .heic format files on a large screen thanks to the built-in codec and image viewer CopyTrans Viewer. To convert all HEIC files in the folder to JPG format, proceed as follows:

1. On your PC, find the folder you’d like to convert and right click on it to see the Windows Context menu.
2. In the menu, find the option “Convert with CopyTrans” and click on it.

3. Wait until the conversion is over.
4. See converted JPEG files appear next to HEIC originals. Enjoy!

Why do we think that Folder conversion is a cool feature?

The greatest thing is that it saves your time. No need to select files 1 by 1 or unpack folders to be sure that nothing was missed. It’s a breeze to manage your large image storage!
