Welcome to the CopyTrans Studio User Guide. You’re just moments away from effortlessly integrating your iPhone media into Windows. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started with CopyTrans Studio and make the most of its features.

Handling HEIC files on your Windows PC

We know that many iPhone and Android users struggle with Windows not supporting .HEIC files. That’s why we created CopyTrans Studio to do more than just file transfers. With CopyTrans Studio, you can easily view .HEIC files on your computer, whether in the app interface or any folder, thanks to the built-in codec that also lets you convert HEIC images to JPG, PNG, and PDF formats.

How to open HEIC on your PC

CopyTrans Studio includes a free image viewer called CopyTrans Viewer. To open HEIC files, Live Photos, or other image types, simply launch CopyTrans Viewer from your Windows menu and drag and drop your images to the interface.

How to convert HEIC to JPG, PNG or PDF

Even though the HEIC format is efficient, it can be useful to convert your .HEIC photos to more convenient formats such as .JPG, .PNG, or even .PDF.

CopyTrans Studio offers the easiest way to convert your HEIC files directly from Windows Explorer, with just a right-click on the file.
