How to Batch Convert HEIC Photos

Converting one HEIC is trivial. Converting a vacation — four hundred photos across two albums — is where most methods fall apart. Apple's built-in tricks handle single shares; web converters cap uploads and crawl on mobile data. Batch conversion needs a tool built for volume.

Three ways to select in bulk

HEIC,JPEG,PDF Media Converter gives you three selection modes, each suited to a different situation:

• Album selection. Pick an album, tap Select All. Best when the photos are already organized — a trip album, a project folder.
• HEIC auto-scan. The app scans your library and surfaces every HEIC photo it finds. Best for "convert everything" jobs, like preparing a full export for a Windows PC.
• Date range. Pick a start and end date. Best for "everything from the wedding weekend" without hunting through albums.

Running the batch

1. Select your photos using any mode above — 20, 200, or more.
2. Choose the output format once. It applies to the whole batch.
3. Set quality once; the per-photo size estimate helps you predict the total.
4. Choose the destination — Photos, Files, or a Google Drive folder.
5. Tap Convert and let it run. Conversion happens on-device, so speed does not depend on your connection.

Practical batch advice

• Check free space first for very large batches. JPGs at high quality can be larger than the HEIC originals, and you will briefly have both.
• Plug in for huge runs. Converting hundreds of photos is real work for the processor; charging avoids a battery dent.
• Strip metadata in the same pass. If the batch is headed outside your devices, enable Strip GPS during conversion instead of cleaning files one by one afterward.

The free tier covers 10 conversions per day — enough to test the workflow on a small set before a Premium batch run.
