"Hi everyone, I recently transferred more than 2,000 photos from my iPhone to my Windows 11 computer, and found that they were all in HEIC format. I need to convert these photos to JPG format so that they can be used on other devices, but converting them one by one manually is too time-consuming. Is there any simple way to convert HEIC to JPG format in batches? Thank you very much!"
