Convert HEIC to PNG

Turn iPhone HEIC photos into lossless PNG files for editing, design work and documents. Convert one photo or a whole batch at once.

Your files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. Add your HEIC filesDrop them onto the page or choose them from your device. You can add as many as you like.
  2. Check the settingsThe output is already set to PNG. You can still change the settings if you need to.
  3. DownloadSave each PNG on its own or get them all at once in a ZIP file.

When PNG is the better choice

PNG is lossless, so every pixel of the decoded photo is kept exactly. That makes it a good starting point for further editing, cutouts and design tools that save many times.

PNG files of photos are much larger than JPG. If you only want to share or upload photos, convert HEIC to JPG instead.

About HEIC

HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default. It keeps the same quality as JPG in about half the space, but Windows, many websites and upload forms cannot open it. Converting gives you a copy that works everywhere.

About PNG

PNG is a lossless format. It keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds, which makes it ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics with text. The downside is size: photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the PNG file so much bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC and JPG use lossy compression made for photos. PNG stores every pixel without loss, which needs several times more space.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser on your own device. Your files are not sent to our servers.

Is there a limit on file size or number of files?

There is no fixed limit. Very large images depend on how much memory your device has, so a phone may struggle with images above about 50 megapixels.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. After you open the page once, it keeps working even if your connection drops, because the conversion runs entirely in your browser.

What happens to transparent areas when I convert to JPG?

JPG cannot store transparency, so those areas are filled with a background color. White is the default and you can pick another color in the options.

Which format gives the smallest file?

It depends on the image. After converting, use Find the smallest format: the tool tries WebP, JPG and PNG with your own files and shows which one is smallest.

Can I keep working on the converted files?

Yes. The Next step bar takes your results straight to another conversion without uploading or choosing them again.

Does it work with animated GIFs?

The first frame of an animated GIF is converted as a still image.
