How it works
How to convert HEIC to PNG
PNG saves every pixel without further compression, which makes it a good choice for photos you plan to edit. The files are bigger than JPG, so use JPG if you just want to share.
- 1
Choose your HEIC photos
Pick up to 50 HEIC files, or drop them on the box. PNG is already selected.
- 2
We convert them on your device
Each photo is decoded and saved as a PNG in your browser, without its location or other hidden details.
- 3
Download your PNGs
Save each PNG, or all of them as one zip file. Your HEIC originals aren't changed.
PNG or JPG?
- PNG doesn't add any compression of its own, so it's the better choice for editing or repeated saving.
- PNG files of photos are large, often several times the size of a JPG. For sharing, JPG is usually better.
- HEIC photos from an iPhone have no transparent areas, so the PNG won't either.
- Location, date and camera details aren't kept in the PNG. Keep the HEIC original if you need them.

Other ways to convert HEIC to PNG
Your own devices can convert HEIC photos too, one at a time. Most keep the location in the converted copy.
On a Mac
In Finder, right-click the photos and choose Quick Actions, then Convert Image, then PNG. Or open one in Preview and choose File, then Export, then PNG.
On Windows
With the free HEIF Image Extensions installed, open the photo in Paint and choose File, then Save as, then PNG picture.
On iPhone
iPhone can't save a photo as PNG directly. To avoid HEIC for new photos, go to Settings, Camera, Formats and choose Most Compatible (JPG).

Yes. Your photos are converted by your browser, on your device, and never sent to any server, ours or anyone else's. The page blocks itself from connecting to the internet, so it works in airplane mode after it loads.
PNG adds no compression of its own, so the PNG keeps every pixel the HEIC decodes to. The HEIC itself was already compressed by your iPhone, so PNG can't add back detail that wasn't there.
HEIC is designed to make photos small. PNG stores the picture without that kind of compression, so a photo can be several times bigger. If size matters, convert to JPG instead.
Choose PNG for editing, design work or anything you'll save again and again. Choose JPG for sharing, email and uploading, where smaller files matter more.
Yes. Choose up to 50 at a time, then download them one by one or all together as a zip file. No daily limit and no sign-up.
No. Every converted PNG comes out without location, date, camera details or any other hidden metadata. Keep the HEIC original if you want those details.
