Topic: Heic/heif image files

Good morning to all.  I would like to leave my Samsung Galaxy preferred image format as HEIF for quality.  I can open these in Affinity Photo but not Irfanview.  After looking around the internet it would seen that Irfanview can open these files if I install a download from this site. https://www.copytrans.net/copytransheic/
Before I download and install this has anybody any experience with this site?  If not have members got an alternative to this please?
Thanks in advance Vicki.

I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know whether IrfanView will communicate with it, but there’s an HEIF image extension available from the Microsoft Store:
