fa2tv is a lightweight Windows utility developed by cedric that addresses the compatibility gap between Apple’s HEIF/HEIC image and HEVC video formats and the wider ecosystem of Android, Windows, and web platforms. Built for casual photographers, social-media managers, and IT staff who routinely receive iPhone content, the application batch-converts HEIF photos to standard JPEG and HEVC clips to MP4 while stripping Apple-specific metadata that can prevent playback or editing in third-party software. Because the conversion is performed locally without cloud upload, original file dates, GPS tags, and color profiles remain intact, giving users a non-destructive workflow for archiving, sharing, or further post-production. The single-window interface accepts drag-and-drop folders, displays a progress bar for each item, and writes the converted output to a user-chosen directory, eliminating the risk of overwriting source files. fa2tv 1.0.0.0, the only release to date, occupies less than 5 MB on disk and requires no additional codecs, making it suitable for older laptops or locked-down office workstations that cannot install heavyweight media suites. Typical scenarios include preparing holiday albums for non-Apple relatives, inserting iPhone footage into Premiere or DaVinci projects, and normalizing classroom assignments collected from students’ iPads. The program sits in the Graphics & Multimedia category and runs on any 64-bit Windows 8.1 or later machine. fa2tv is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are served through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
