HEIC to PNG Converter
Convert HEIC photos from your iPhone to PNG. Your photos stay on your device.
- Runs in your browser
- No sign-up
- No watermark
HEIC is the photo format on recent iPhones and iPads, and many apps and websites cannot open it. This tool converts HEIC and HEIF photos to PNG in your browser, so personal pictures are not uploaded anywhere.
Safari reads HEIC natively. Other browsers use a converter that runs on your device, which can take a few seconds for large photos.
How to use HEIC to PNG
- Choose one or more HEIC photos, or drop them onto the box.
- Conversion starts straight away.
- Wait while each photo is converted. Large photos take longer.
- Download each PNG file, or all of them as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are converted in your browser and never sent to a server. This matters for personal pictures.
Why do iPhone photos come as HEIC?
HEIC is the default photo format on recent iPhones because it gives smaller files. Many Windows apps, websites and printers cannot open it, so a JPG or PNG copy is useful.
Can I convert many photos at once?
Yes. Choose or drop several files and download them one by one or as a ZIP. They are converted one after another, so a big batch takes a little while.
Why is it slow on large photos?
Most browsers cannot read HEIC, so the tool decodes it with a bundled converter that runs on your device. Large photos can take several seconds each, and phones are slower than computers.
Which browsers does it work in?
Safari opens HEIC itself. Chrome, Edge and Firefox use the bundled converter. Very old browsers, or devices with little memory, may fail on large files.
Does the photo keep its details?
Width and height stay the same. The photo metadata, such as location and camera details, may not be copied to the new file.
Why is the PNG so much bigger?
PNG is lossless, so a photo saved as PNG is often several times larger than the HEIC or a JPG. Choose JPG if you only need to share or upload the photo.
