Is HEIC Converter safe?

What you download

  • Official MSI: use the Download button on heic-converters.com (tracked via /api/download).
  • Microsoft Store listing: still available at product id XP8M8PVBKMVC5S (get.microsoft.com). The Converter marketing site promotes the offline MSI download.

Verify the publisher

When Windows shows publisher information for the installer or installed app, look for Green 18 Enterprises. That is the company name associated with this product.

The offline MSI is Authenticode-signed. During install, Windows shows the publisher from the digital signature — confirm it matches Green 18 Enterprises. You can also right-click the downloaded MSI, choose Properties, and open the Digital Signatures tab to check the signature.

Windows SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway

New or infrequently downloaded apps often trigger Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. That warning is common for legitimate software that does not yet have widespread reputation on your PC.

  1. On the SmartScreen dialog, click More info.
  2. Confirm the file name matches HEICConverter-6.1.0.msi (or the Store install flow if you used that listing).
  3. If you chose to continue from an official download, select Run anyway.

Only use Run anyway when you started the download from this website or the Microsoft Store listing linked above — not from an unexpected email attachment or an unknown mirror.
