I'm on Windows and I often receive photos from iPhones in the HEIC format. Though I can convert them, it's annoying to have to do that just to view the dang photo. Is there a FOSS program that can open them without converting them? Something like VLC which pretty much handles all video formats.

I've tried downloading the HEIF Image Extension but that does absolutely nothing.

"Looks a little dated" is just a pessimistic way to say "they haven't fucked with the ui for no reason".
I use it exactly because it still looks like it did 20 years ago.

Oh, for sure. I'm not offended by it, just stating fact.
