Overview
CopyTrans HEIC for Windows is a simple plugin that lets you open and view HEIC files using Windows Photo Viewer and convert HEIC to JPG. CopyTrans HEIC for PC (aka CTH) is plug-in for Desktop PC that allows you to use your Windows Explorer/Computer to navigate and view your iOS HEIC images. View HEIC and HEIF images on Windows, Convert HEIC to JPG offline, Print HEIC photos, or Insert HEICs to MS Office!
What is HEIC?
In iOS 11, Apple started using HEIC/HEIF, a new image format that takes up half the space of JPGs without sacrificing a pixel of image quality. Up until today, your Windows PC was unable to natively support HEIC files – the default Windows Photo Viewer couldn’t open the new formats.
View HEIC files on Windows
You don’t need any additional software to browse your photos! CopyTrans HEIC for Windows is a simple Windows plugin that allows you to open HEIC files using Windows Photo Viewer. You can print out your HEICs as well. Just send them to print, no need to convert them to JPG first!
Need JPGs anyway? Convert HEIC to JPG
Most third-party software doesn’t support HEIC format yet. Without launching a separate app, you can convert any iOS HEIC image to JPG instantly with a simple right-click. This means your photos stay safe and private on your PC, unlike with multiple online HEIC converters. Download CopyTrans HEIC for PC now! After installing CTH, right-click on any HEIC file and choose “Convert to JPEG with CopyTrans” in the drop-down menu. You will see a converted JPG image next to the HEIC one.
Microsoft Office Support
Now you can insert your HEICs into any Microsoft Office document. It’s compatible with MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Outlook, and MS Excel. With CopyTrans HEIC for Windows, you can insert a HEIC image into a Word document, a PowerPoint presentation, or into an Excel spreadsheet. Just open a document – click Insert – Pictures – select All files – select the HEIC file of your choice and click Insert.
Does CTH support HEVC videos?
No. Both HEIC and HEVC use the same image encoding technology but in a different way. HEVC video format uses video codecs (there are lots of them already), and HEIC photo format uses Windows image plugins. Currently, CTH is the only HEIC plugin for Windows.
Stop wasting your disk space
Did you know that, by default, your iPhone* automatically converts HEIC to JPG when you transfer them to your PC? Did you also know that JPG is an antiquated format that takes up twice as much of your hard drive space as HEIC? If you want to keep your original HEIC/HEVC files both on your iPhone and on your computer, turn off the setting ‘Automatic transfer to PC’ on your iDevice.
