HEIC to PNG
Convert iPhone photos to lossless PNG.
How to use HEIC to PNG
- Drop your HEIC or HEIF photos onto the upload area.
- Click Convert.
- Download each PNG, or click Download all for a zip.
PNG is the format to reach for when you want an exact, lossless copy of a photo rather than a smaller one — every pixel is preserved, with no compression artefacts introduced along the way. That matters if the image is heading into an editor for further work, or anywhere a JPG's blocky edges around sharp detail would be visible.
This converter decodes HEIC using a copy of libheif compiled to WebAssembly that runs inside your own browser, then re-encodes the decoded pixels straight to PNG. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so there's no size limit and no queue — conversion speed depends only on your own hardware.
Drop in as many files as you like. If you convert more than one, download them all together as a single ZIP.
Questions
Why PNG instead of JPG?
PNG is lossless, so the converted file is pixel-for-pixel identical to the decoded original — no compression artefacts. The trade-off is size: a PNG typically runs several times larger than an equivalent JPG.
Will the PNG be much bigger than the original HEIC?
Usually yes, often significantly. HEIC's compression is efficient and lossy; PNG stores every pixel exactly, so the file size reflects the image's full detail rather than a compressed approximation of it.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The decoder runs inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing to store or delete afterwards.
Is the date and location data kept?
The image is re-encoded from decoded pixels, so EXIF metadata including GPS is dropped in the conversion.
How many photos can I convert at once?
There is no set limit. The practical ceiling is your device's memory — PNGs are larger in memory than JPGs, so very large batches suit a laptop better than a phone.
