Drop your images here
or click to browse your files
Up to 200 files at a time, 200 MB per file. These limits protect your browser from running out of memory, they are not commercial restrictions.
This image is being read and converted by your own browser. It is never uploaded.
How to do it
Step 1: Drop your HEIC files onto the page, or click to choose them. You can also paste an image straight from the clipboard.
Step 2: PNG is already selected as the output. Adjust the quality or size if you want to.
Step 3: Press Convert. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Step 4: Download the PNG file, or download everything as a ZIP if you converted several.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
Choose PNG over JPEG when the photograph will be edited afterwards, since PNG will not lose anything further each time it is saved.
PNG files of photographs are large. For sharing or uploading, JPEG or WebP is usually the better choice.
PNG also brings its own advantage here: every pixel is preserved exactly, so text and sharp edges stay crisp.
HEIC compared with PNG
The two formats are built for different jobs, and the differences decide whether this conversion is the right one. HEIC and PNG differ mainly in these respects.
| Aspect | HEIC | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy, using the HEVC video codec. | Lossless. The file is compressed, but no image information is thrown away. |
| Transparency | Yes, though photographs rarely use it. | Yes, with 256 levels of opacity per pixel. |
| Software support | Good on Apple devices, poor almost everywhere else. | Universal. |
| Best suited to | Photographs taken on an iPhone or iPad with default settings. | Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and anything with text or flat colour. |
Questions
Are my HEIC files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read from your device and never sent to a server, because this site has no server that receives them.
Does converting to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG stores every pixel exactly as it was given, so the conversion itself adds no loss. Anything the HEIC had already discarded cannot be brought back, however.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together, and download the results individually or as a single ZIP. Progress is shown per file and overall.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no commercial limit and no account. There are technical limits, because a browser has finite memory: very large images are flagged before conversion, and the tool says plainly when a device may struggle rather than freezing.
Does it cost anything?
No. Every format and every feature is available to everyone. There is no paid tier, no watermark and no sign-up.
