PNG keeps every decoded pixel, so it is much larger than the HEIC. Use HEIC to JPG for sharing.

How to use it

- Press Convert.
- Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.
What HEIC to PNG does
Decodes each HEIC photo and saves every pixel exactly as a PNG. Use it when you’ll edit the image several times, or when an app only accepts PNG.
When to use it
- You’ll edit the photo repeatedly and don’t want JPG compression each time you save.
- A design app, document tool or website asks for PNG.
- You want a lossless master copy before cropping or resizing.
Good to know
- PNG copies of photos are large, often 5–10 times the size of the HEIC. For sharing or uploading, HEIC to JPG is usually better.
- The PNG is fully opaque: iPhone photos don’t contain transparency.
- Camera rotation is applied. Location and other EXIF metadata are not copied.
- Safari opens HEIC by itself. In Chrome, Edge and Firefox the page downloads an open-source HEIC decoder (libheif, about 1.5 MB) the first time you use it. It runs on your device; your photos are never sent anywhere.
PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG when you will keep editing the image, and JPG when you will share or upload it. You can always make a JPG later from the PNG without extra loss.

Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
Why is the PNG so large?
PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression. That is ideal for editing but heavy for photos. Compress PNG or convert to JPG if you need a smaller file.
Does PNG improve the photo?
No. It keeps exactly what the HEIC contains and prevents further loss when you edit.
Should I use HEIC to JPG instead?
For sharing or uploading, yes. PNG copies of photos are large: in our example a 1.8 MB HEIC became a 6.1 MB PNG. Choose PNG only when you’ll keep editing the image.
