Overview

``text HEIC to PNG converts the photos your iPhone saves in Apple's HEIC/HEIF format into lossless PNG, which opens everywhere. Drop in one file or a whole batch, convert locally in your browser, and download each PNG or the whole set as a ZIP — nothing is uploaded. ``

```text HEIC is Apple's space-saving photo format, but it won't open on Windows, many Android phones, or lots of websites. Converting to PNG gives you a universally supported, lossless copy — every pixel preserved — which is ideal when you plan to edit the image or need maximum quality.

This converter runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded. Add your HEIC files, convert, and download the PNGs individually or as a single ZIP. ```

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting HEIC to PNG lossless?

Yes. PNG is a lossless format, so the converted image keeps every pixel of the original HEIC with no compression artefacts added. That makes it ideal when you plan to edit the photo afterwards or need the highest possible quality. The trade-off is that PNG files are larger than the equivalent JPG.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are decoded and converted on your own device and never uploaded. Nothing is stored after you close the tab. That keeps personal photos private and makes conversion fast, since there's no upload or download to a server.

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?

Choose PNG when you want lossless quality or plan to edit the image, and JPG when you want a small, easy-to-share file. For most everyday iPhone photos, JPG is smaller and perfectly fine; for archiving, editing, or graphics work, PNG's lossless quality is the better choice. Use the HEIC to JPG tool if you prefer JPG.

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

Because HEIC uses efficient compression to save space, while PNG is lossless and stores all the data without that compression. So a PNG of the same photo is usually several times larger. That's the expected cost of lossless quality — if size matters more, convert to JPG instead.

Can I convert many HEIC files at once?

Yes. Drop in a whole batch — there's no artificial limit — and each is converted to PNG locally. Download each one from its card, or click "Download All as ZIP" to save the entire set in a single folder. Bulk conversion is the fastest way to handle a camera roll of iPhone photos.

Why won't my HEIC files open on Windows or Android?

HEIC is Apple's format, and many systems don't support it without an extra codec — Windows needs one, older Android phones can't read it, and some sites reject it on upload. Converting to PNG (or JPG) gives you a universally supported file that opens and uploads everywhere.

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format Apple devices use by default, storing photos with the efficient HEVC codec so they take less space than JPEG at similar quality. It accepts both .heic and .heif files. The downside is compatibility, which is why converting to PNG or JPG is often necessary.

Does the PNG keep transparency?

HEIC photos from a camera don't have transparency, so a converted PNG will have a normal solid background — converting doesn't add an alpha channel that wasn't there. PNG can store transparency, but only if the source image already had it. For ordinary photos, the PNG simply preserves the full image losslessly.

Does it keep the photo's EXIF data?

Conversion focuses on producing a clean PNG image. If keeping or removing metadata like date and GPS matters to you, check the result, and use the Image Metadata Viewer to inspect or strip EXIF data before sharing — especially important for the location tags that iPhone photos often carry.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG on my phone?

Yes. The converter runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can convert iPhone HEIC photos to PNG directly on iOS or Android. It's handy when you need a lossless copy that another app or person can open, without transferring the files to a computer first.

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

There's no fixed cap or paywall because nothing is uploaded — the work happens on your device. The practical limit is your device's memory. A large batch of high-resolution photos uses more memory and is smoother on a computer, but everyday conversions run quickly even on a phone.

Do I need to install any app or Apple software?

No. There's nothing to download or install and no account to create. The whole tool runs in your web browser, on any operating system, so you don't need Apple software, a Windows codec, or a desktop converter. Open the page, add your HEIC files, and convert to PNG.
