Just use the www.ILoveImg.com site as I described, it's super simple
and while the description takes up space and may seem complicated,
really all you have to do once you open the website is find the
"Choose File" button, activate it, select your HEIC file from wherever
you saved it and then find the "Convert" button. Once done go to your
downloads folder and the converted file will be there.

Subject: Re: Opening a HEIC file
It's Windows 10 forgot to say and the doc is only one page.
I tried open it and nothing happened so perhaps I'll try save it.
Thanks so much,
Tony

Not sure if this works in Windows 10, but if you are using Windows 11
just press enter to open the HEIC file, it will open in the Photos
app, if it asks you which app to use, select Photos.
Once the file is open, tab until you hear "More Options and press
enter, the first open is Save As, press enter again Now you are in a
fairly standard Save As dialogue with focus in the file name field, I
would give it a different name so it's easier to tell the difference
between the original HEIC file and JPG file you are now saving.
Now press tab and you will hear "Save As Type: .heic, 1 of 9 combo box"
Press Alt + Down arrow to open the combox box although here just down
arrow also works, you will hear the following:
Open List Box, .HEIC, 1 of 9 - now press down arrow again and you hear:
.jpg, 2 of 9 - press enter to select the JPG format and close the
combo box Press tab, I think twice, until you get to "Save' and
activate it with Enter or Spacebar. By default it should save the JPG
file in the same folder as your HEIC file, but you can of course
press tab a few more times until you get to the folder treeview and
select a different folder. Very rarely I find it hasn't actually
saved the JPG formatted file and I have to do it again, that is
partly why I recommend a different file name which seems to help and
also actually tabbing yto the Save button and activating it seems to
be more reliable then to press ente ror Alt + S.
Alternatively, do a Google search for "Convert HEIC to JPG" and
you'll find all sortf of online converters. I am partial to the
ILoveIMG.com site because there is also an ILovePDF.com site which I
use a lot if I want to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF or
if sometimes a supplier sends me 2 or 3 invoices all in one PDF file
and I want to split theminto separate PDF files. I just check first
how many pages the original PDF is, say it's 4 and I then find that
the first invoice is a single page, the second is on page 2 and 3 and
the last invoice is page 4. In ILovePDF you select that you want to
split a PDF, then you click the "Choose File" button and browse to
your file and upload it, then you set the first range, in this case
page 1 to 1, then you add the second range, in this example page 2 to
page 3 and lastly you add another range which is page 3 to 3. When
done click Split and a zipped file will automatically download to you
rdownloads folder which contains the 3 files which I can then rename
and save. It's all super accessible and so is the version which
allows you to convert all sorts of image files because the HEIC to
JPG option is only one of nmany choices. Here is Jaws history from
the site, I tried it to make sure it works, my HEIC file is called
Test HEIC:
Convert HEIC to JPG online for free - this is the title of the page
and I now press H for heading:
Convert HEIC to JPG, heading level 1 - I now press B to find buttons
because I know what I am looking for is a button:
Choose Files: No file chosen Button - press spacebar or enter to
activate and an open file dialogue appears:
Open dialog, File name: edit combo
I usually press Shift + Tab a couple of times until I get into the
list viwew of whatever folder I am in or one more time to get to the
folder treeview where I can select the folder I want, here I happen
to be in the right folder so I press spacebar to select the "Test
HEIC" file as it says "not selected".
Not Selected Test HEIC - I press spacebar and then tab forward again
past the file name box which now contains the file to the "Open"
button File name: edit combo, Test HEIC - keep pressing tab:
Files of type: Combo box, Custom files, 1 of 2 Upload from mobile
Button - I tab past that:
Open Button - activate it with spacebar or enter Convert HEIC to JPG
online for free - Microsoft Edge - Personal - Jaws reads the website
title again, but I press Control to stop it reading more.
I assume I am looking for another button to start the conversion so I
again try "b" to quickly navigate to any buttons and I get:
Convert to JPG Button - if I arrow past it I hear "All images will be
converted to JPG."
I activate the button and the image is converted and automatically
downloaded which you can verify by checking your downloads folder, if
I go to mine I have:
Test HEIC, 7 of 7, Date modified 12/1/2024 11:39 AM, Type JPG File
Take care,
