Now you know how to download iPhone photos to a PC. Only the photos may not be in JPEG.
By default, your iPhone saves images in HEIC format – and if you import them to a PC, you will just see broken icons instead of thumbnails.
To view your HEIC pictures on Windows, use CopyTrans HEIC for Windows – a free tool to view HEIC images in Windows Explorer.
It works automatically and allows you to convert up to 100 HEIC images to JPEG at a time.

If your photos are displayed as blank icons, don’t worry – they are probably just in HEIC format, which your PC doesn’t recognize. Install our free solution for viewing HEIC files, and they will display fine.
