Batch convert HEIC to JPG, from chat
Ask ChatGPT or Claude to convert a whole folder of iPhone photos on your Mac or Windows PC. One message, every file, no converter websites and no dragging files around.
Works in ChatGPT and Claude, on the web and on your phone. See how it works in ChatGPT or Claude.
iPhone photos won't open anywhere else.
Apple's HEIC format saves space but creates headaches everywhere else. Windows can't open them. Websites reject them. Email clients show broken images. You end up converting photos one at a time on a website, or installing an app just to share a photo.
Just tell it what you need. It handles the rest.
No menus. No settings. No figuring out which app to use. Just describe what you want in ChatGPT or Claude.

- •Found 48 HEIC files in Downloads.

- •Kept the originals. The JPGs are in Downloads/JPG.
