Why Convert HEIC to JPEG files
Why convert HEIC to JPEG? HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) is relatively new image format that Apple iOS 11 devices and above use. This format uses HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) image codec. Currently Windows 10 does not support it out of the box – you can install HEIF extension from Microsoft Store though. Even with extension I had a problem with opening it in some applications.

Several Things to Note
Current version does not show you the progress of the conversion. You will know that it is finished only when you see all the JPEG files. You can also see if the CPU has finished the process in the Task Manager under [Performance]. If you executed the conversion from “explorer.exe” – you will see that all the instances of “rundll32.exe” has finished in the Task Manager [Details] tab.
If the JPEG file already exists with the same name – CopyTrans will be automatically add “(1)” to its name. And if there is already the same file with “(1)”, there will be added “(2)”. Example:
File.JPEG
File(1).JPEG
File(2).JPEG
