Summary

People searching for how to batch convert HEIC photos to JPG on Windows find Microsoft Q&A threads, uploaders and Store apps. None of them handle a folder with subfolders. This adds /guides/batch-heic-to-jpg-windows to the guides section. It covers the free Photos route (with the HEIF and HEVC extensions) and the iPhone settings, then gives a tested convt command for whole folders. The sitemap, /llms.txt, /guides and the images section of /formats pick it up from the guides list.

Target queries (treg, US monthly): batch convert heic to jpg 590 (KD 11), convert heic to jpg windows 11 170, heic to jpg windows 140. The SERP check on 2026-10-29 found the Windows 11 query has an AI Overview built from the Photos "Save as" steps, and the batch query's top 5 are heic.digital, compresto's Mac post, Adobe, a Play Store app and Facebook. None of them covers recursive folders. The GEO check for "batch convert a folder of HEIC files to JPG on Windows" cited convt on no engine.

Evidence

Desktop	Mobile

• Every convt line on the page came from the released v0.5.0 Linux CLI, run on HEIC files in nested folders (2024, 2024/Summer trip, 2025, .HEIC and .heic). -r -o jpg rebuilt the subfolders, -q 80, --max-size 2048 and a second run (IMG_0001 (1).jpg) behaved as the page says. One finding from that run is on the page: a folder input also converts PNGs and even .txt files to JPG.
• Windows facts were checked against v0.5.0 code: the MSI installs per-user to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\convt with convt.exe and no PATH entry (packaging/windows/convt.wxs), and Windows reads HEIC through the bundled libheif (heic.rs).
• The Photos, Store-extension and iPhone steps are labeled as coming from Microsoft Q&A, the Store listings and Apple's guide. They weren't run on Windows.
• Rendered HTML has the title, description, canonical and the TechArticle, BreadcrumbList and Organization JSON-LD. The local sitemap lists the URL with lastmod 2026-10-29.
• bun run check, web check-types, bun test test/unit (222 pass, including a new test for this guide's download links and command), and the web build all pass. A GPT-6.1 Sol review found two overbroad claims, both fixed in b262a56.

The Mac guide doesn't link back yet: it has an evaluation pending until 2026-11-22, so it stays untouched until then.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. It adds one page and a list entry. Reverting removes both.

Blast radius: /guides/batch-heic-to-jpg-windows, plus one new line each in /guides, /formats, /sitemap.xml and /llms.txt.

Fixes CNVM-6. Evaluation: 2026-11-22 (24 days after deploy).
