I'm facing a bit of a dilemma at work—our IT lead is unavailable, and I don't have admin permissions on my school laptop. I've been asked to convert files that are currently in the HEIC format so they can be opened as JPEGs. Unfortunately, I can't install any conversion software because of these restrictions. Is there a safe way to convert multiple HEIC files at once? I've already adjusted the settings to prevent more files from saving in HEIC, but I need to tackle the ones that are already saved.

Have you considered transferring the files to a personal device or any other computer you own? It might be a straightforward way to convert them without admin rights.
If you're open to it, you might boot your school laptop with a USB drive containing a Linux setup. That way, you could have the freedom to download and convert files without needing admin privileges. Just keep in mind to share your experience with the IT lead about needing admin access for future situations.
Here are a few options you can try:
1. If the photos were originally saved on an iPhone, check if you can convert them using the "Files" app on that device.
2. There are various online HEIC to JPEG converters you could use, but be cautious and avoid uploading any sensitive images since this could compromise privacy.
3. Try reaching out to the IT lead when possible and ask for assistance directly.
