Apowersoft HEIC Converter
Apowersoft HEIC Converter is a utility for converting HEIC and HEIF image files to JPEG format. It is offered both as a free web-based tool and as a downloadable desktop application for Windows and Mac users. The converter supports batch conversion of multiple photos at once, preserves EXIF metadata during conversion, allows quality adjustment, and features a simple drag-and-drop interface. It addresses the compatibility problem that arises when iPhone and iPad users need to share or open photos in formats supported by older software and systems.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results indicate this app has a web-based component that remains available online, but the desktop version for macOS appears to be unmaintained and has not been actively updated in recent years. The reviews consistently note that "the Apowersoft HEIC Converter download version is not compatible with Mac" (from the 2024 review), and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build or ongoing development. Since there is no clear sign of active macOS maintenance and no native Apple Silicon version exists, the desktop application will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). For macOS users, the practical solution is to use the free web-based version at apowersoft.com, which runs in any modern browser and requires no separate installation or native build. Alternatively, if you prefer a native macOS desktop tool, consider Aiseesoft Free HEIC Converter or Apeaksoft Free HEIC Converter — both are actively maintained, run natively on Apple Silicon, support batch conversion, and preserve EXIF data. The web-based approach is the fastest way to avoid disruption.
