What is HEIC Format and Why Convert It?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's proprietary image format used by iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It offers excellent compression — HEIC photos are typically half the size of equivalent JPG photos while maintaining the same visual quality. However, HEIC is not universally supported — Windows, Android, most websites, and social media platforms require JPG or PNG format.

How to Convert HEIC to PNG

  • Click "Select HEIC Files" or drag and drop your iPhone photos into the upload box
  • Choose your output format — PNG for best quality, JPG for smallest size, WebP for web
  • Click "Convert to PNG" — conversion starts immediately in your browser
  • Download each file individually or click "Download All" to save everything at once

HEIC vs PNG vs JPG — Which Should You Use?

PNG is the best choice when you need to preserve every detail of your photo without any compression loss — ideal for screenshots, graphics with text, or images you plan to edit further. JPG is better for sharing on social media or via email where file size matters. WebP is ideal if you are uploading images to a website, as it gives the smallest file size while maintaining high quality.

How to Stop iPhone Taking HEIC Photos

If you prefer your iPhone to always shoot in JPG format, go to Settings → Camera → Formats and select "Most Compatible." This forces your camera to save photos as JPG, which works everywhere without conversion. The trade-off is that JPG photos take up more storage space than HEIC.

How to Open HEIC Files on Windows

Windows 10 and 11 do not natively support HEIC files without an additional codec. You can either install the Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store (paid), or use this free HEIC to PNG converter above to convert your photos to a universally supported format instantly, without installing anything.

Is HEIC to PNG Conversion Lossless?

Yes — when you convert HEIC to PNG, the output is a lossless PNG file that preserves 100% of the image quality from the original HEIC photo. PNG format does not use lossy compression, so no detail is lost during conversion. If file size is a concern, choose JPG at 90%+ quality — it will look visually identical at a much smaller file size.

Is this HEIC to PNG converter really free? +
Yes, it's completely free with no limits on the number of conversions. There's no signup, subscription, or hidden fee — just upload your HEIC files and download the PNGs.
Is it safe to convert my HEIC photos here? +
Yes. Your photos are converted entirely inside your browser using JavaScript — they are never uploaded to a server. This means your images stay private on your own device the whole time.
Is there a file size or file count limit? +
There's no fixed limit on file size, though very large batches may take longer since your device does all the processing. You can convert several HEIC files at once without restrictions.
Will I lose image quality converting HEIC to PNG? +
No. PNG is a lossless format, so converting HEIC to PNG preserves every detail of the original photo with zero quality loss. If you want a smaller file, choose the JPG or WebP output option instead.
What file formats are supported? +
This tool accepts standard .heic and .heif files, the formats used by iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. You can convert them to PNG, JPG, or WebP output.
Does this work on my phone or tablet? +
Yes, the converter works in any modern mobile or desktop browser, including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. There's no app to install.
Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once? +
Yes, batch conversion is supported — select or drag in several HEIC files together and convert them all in one click, then download them individually or all at once.
Does this tool work offline? +
Once the page and its conversion library have loaded, the actual conversion runs locally in your browser. However, you do need an internet connection to load the page itself first.
