Why convert HEIC to PNG?
Apple introduced HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) to save storage space on iPhones and iPads. While it is excellent for Apple devices, it causes major headaches when you try to open those photos on a Windows PC, upload them to an older website, or edit them in software that doesn't support the format.
PNG is the universal standard for lossless images. It works everywhere—Windows, Android, Linux, and the web. It preserves every pixel perfectly without compression artifacts and supports transparent backgrounds. By converting your iPhone photos to PNG, you ensure they look exactly right on any device, for any purpose.
Whether you are a photographer who needs to edit raw iPhone shots in Adobe Photoshop, a student uploading photos to a strict portal, or someone simply trying to view their vacation pictures on a Windows laptop, converting HEIC to PNG is the fastest way to solve the problem.

What people use it for
Share on Windows or Android
Send photos to friends or family who do not use Apple devices. PNG opens natively on every operating system without any extra software.
Edit in Photoshop or Canva
Many older versions of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Canva do not support HEIC. Convert to PNG to edit your iPhone photos without losing quality.
Upload to Websites & Forms

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by Apple iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It saves storage space by using advanced compression, but it is not widely supported outside the Apple ecosystem.
Why should I convert HEIC to PNG?
PNG is a universally supported, lossless image format. Converting to PNG ensures you can open, edit, and share your photos on any device (Windows, Android, Linux, or older software) without quality loss or transparency issues.
Is this HEIC to PNG converter free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no hidden limits, no daily cap, and no sign-up required. You can convert as many photos as you want.
Does it upload my photos to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device. This is 100% private.
How do I open HEIC files on Windows 10 or 11?
Windows does not natively support HEIC without a paid extension from the Microsoft Store. The easiest solution is to convert your HEIC files to PNG using this free tool, which will open instantly on Windows.
Does converting to PNG reduce quality?
No. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it preserves every single pixel from the original HEIC file. The resulting PNG will look identical to the original photo.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes, you can upload and convert up to 10 HEIC photos at once. You can download them individually or as a single ZIP file.
Will it keep my GPS location and EXIF data?
The current version outputs clean PNG images without EXIF metadata (GPS location, camera info) to ensure maximum privacy when sharing. The image orientation is automatically corrected so your photos are not sideways.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG on my iPhone?
Yes, this tool works perfectly in Safari on iPhone. You can select HEIC photos from your camera roll, convert them, and save the PNG directly back to your device.
What is the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF (High-Efficiency Image File) is the container format, and HEIC is the specific codec used within it by Apple. For the user, they are effectively the same thing. This tool supports both.
