downloading icloud photos to laptop windows

I have my iPhone photos in my laptop, however they are saved as HEIC file. I need to send as a JPEG. I downloaded the converter app but nothing happens. It says it is downloading, however, it never moves.

iPhone 12, iOS 26

What converter App? From where?


If they are already on your laptop, what does the issue it have to do with iCloud?


Its the issue that the app converter app is not downloading? Or that the app can't access the photos?


Microsoft Photos should be able to open HEIC photos on its own already.

If the issue is with an App on Windows for files already only our Windows PC, then you get better help ing you ask your question on the Windows forums.

Please be very clear what issue is. We cannot see what you see, so we have no idea what is going on.
