HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to lossless PNG.

This converter turns HEIC and HEIF photos from an iPhone or iPad into PNG files. PNG is lossless, so nothing more is lost in the conversion, which makes it the better choice when you'll edit the image further or need a format that every editor accepts. The trade-off is size: a PNG of a photo is usually several times bigger than the HEIC, and bigger than a JPG too. Convert one photo or a batch, then download them singly or as a ZIP. Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded, so photos and documents stay on your device. Safari reads HEIC itself; other browsers download the open-source libheif decoder (about 3 MB) the first time.

Select one or many. Converted in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

HEIC photos are decoded with libheif via heic-to, open-source libraries under the LGPL-3.0 licence, downloaded (about 3 MB) only when needed.

Common use cases

  • Edit iPhone photos in software that doesn't open HEIC
  • Keep full quality for graphics, screenshots or images you'll edit again
  • Convert HEIC images for design tools and documents
  • Batch-convert photos without installing anything

How to use

  1. Choose one or more HEIC or HEIF files, or drag them onto the box.
  2. Wait while each one is decoded and saved as PNG.
  3. Check the size and preview of each result.
  4. Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.

FAQ

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?

Choose JPG for sharing and uploading photos: the files are much smaller. Choose PNG when you'll edit the image again or need lossless quality, and don't mind larger files.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses lossy compression designed for photos. PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly, which takes far more space for a photo.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device, and nothing is sent anywhere.
