About the HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert one or more iPhone HEIC or HEIF photos to lossless PNG files that open in almost any app. Every photo is converted in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos by default, but most browsers, older Windows apps and many websites still can't open it. PNG opens almost everywhere, and because it's lossless, a photo won't lose any more detail when you edit and re-save it. That makes it a good fit for retouching a picture or placing it in a design. The trade-off is size: a PNG is usually a few times bigger than the HEIC it came from, so HEIC to JPG is the lighter choice for email or sharing. This page loads a small decoder from this site the first time you convert, then does all the work on your device. Each PNG keeps the photo's full resolution, while location and camera details aren't copied across.

Using the HEIC to PNG Converter

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Leave Convert to set to PNG, which is already selected for you.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Click Convert. The first photo takes a moment longer while the decoder loads.

    Step 4

    Download each PNG from its own row in the results list.

  • Converts HEIC and HEIF photos to PNG, with PNG already selected
  • Keeps each photo's full resolution, with no resizing
  • Saves a numbered PNG for every image in a burst file
  • Shows the file size before and after, plus the pixel dimensions, for each result
  • Converts a whole batch, with a remove button for each picked file
  • Reports each file separately, so one bad file doesn't stop the rest
  • Runs on your own device, with no upload, sign-up or watermark

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the HEIC to PNG Converter.

How do I convert HEIC to PNG?

Upload one or more iPhone HEIC or HEIF photos above and click Convert. PNG is already selected as the output format, so each file downloads as a lossless .png.

Can I convert more than one photo at once?

Yes. Add photos one at a time or several at once, drag more in whenever you like, and remove any one from the list before you click Convert. Photos are converted one after another on your device, so a big batch takes longer.

Is this HEIC to PNG converter free?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you convert.

Why PNG instead of JPG?

PNG is lossless, so it keeps every decoded pixel exact and loses nothing when you edit and re-save it. JPG gives a much smaller file, which suits sharing better than editing.

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

HEIC uses very efficient lossy compression, while PNG stores the pixels without losing any of them. A detailed photo therefore takes up more space as a PNG, often a few times as much.

Does converting to PNG improve the photo's quality?

No. An iPhone HEIC photo is already compressed, so a PNG can't bring back detail the HEIC doesn't have. It does keep the photo exactly as decoded and prevents any further loss.

Is my photo safe when I use this tool?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

What happens with a HEIC file that holds several images?

You get one PNG per image, numbered in order, such as IMG_0450-1.png and IMG_0450-2.png, each with its own Download button.

Does the PNG keep the photo's location and camera details?

No. The PNG is drawn from the photo's pixels only, so EXIF data such as GPS location and camera model isn't carried over.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG instead?

Yes — use the dedicated HEIC to JPG converter, or switch the format dropdown above to JPG.
