Convert HEIC photos to PNG
Need an iPhone photo as PNG for an editor, a design app or a form that asks for PNG? Convert HEIC to lossless PNG on your own device. Nothing is uploaded.
Your photos are processed on this device and never uploaded. We don't see, store or log your files.
How it works
- Tap Choose files and pick one or more HEIC photos, or drop them onto the page.
- Tap Convert to PNG. The photos are converted on your device, one at a time.
- Download each PNG, all of them as a ZIP, or tap Share.
Why convert HEIC here
Your photos are decoded by your own browser and never sent to a server. There is no account, no watermark and no daily limit.
PNG or JPG?
PNG stores the decoded pixels without any further loss, which suits editing, design work and printing from an editor. The cost is size: a 12-megapixel photo (4032 × 3024) holds 36 MB of raw colour data, and PNG compresses photos only modestly, so expect files of tens of megabytes. For sharing or uploading, choose HEIC to JPG instead.
You can convert up to 20 photos at a time on a phone, 50 on a tablet and 100 on a computer. Phones handle photos up to 50 megapixels, which covers the 48-megapixel main camera of recent iPhones (8064 × 6048).
Stop your iPhone saving HEIC
To get JPG from the camera from now on, open Settings → Camera → Formats on the iPhone and choose Most Compatible; photos then take more space on the phone. iOS often converts photos to JPG by itself when you attach them to an email or upload them in Safari, so HEIC files mostly turn up after they were copied to a PC, an Android phone or a cloud drive unchanged.
Frequently asked questions
Is the conversion really lossless?
Yes, from the decoded photo onwards: PNG adds no compression loss. The HEIC itself was already compressed by the camera, and that can't be undone.
Why is the PNG so big?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, while HEIC and JPG throw away detail you can't see. Use HEIC to JPG when size matters.
Are the date and location kept?
No. The PNG keeps the picture and its rotation, not the camera details, date or location.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device.
