iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many Windows PCs, websites and upload forms can’t open. Converting to PNG fixes that: pixel-perfect — no quality loss.
Drop one HEIC or a hundred — they’re converted inside your browser, so even private photos are never uploaded anywhere.
HEIC vs PNG
| HEIC | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | No | No |
| File size | About half the size of JPG | Large for photos, small for graphics |
| Compatibility | Apple devices; poor support on Windows, Android and the web | Everywhere |
| Best for | Saving space on iPhones | Logos, screenshots, graphics and anything with transparency |
Good to know before converting HEIC to PNG
- PNG is lossless, so the file will usually get bigger — it keeps every pixel of the HEIC exactly, it can’t add back detail that was already lost.
- Your iPhone’s photo orientation is applied automatically, so the result is never sideways.
- Hidden data like GPS location and camera details is left out of the converted file.
What is HEIC?
HEIC is the format iPhones use for photos by default. It keeps photos small without losing quality — but outside Apple’s world it’s a headache: Windows, many Android apps, websites and upload forms often can’t open it.
What is PNG?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds. That makes it perfect for logos, screenshots and cut-outs — but photos saved as PNG are often 5–10× bigger than the same photo as JPG.
How to convert HEIC to PNG
- Drop your HEIC files (or paste with Ctrl+V).
- PNG is already selected — adjust quality if you like.
- Download one by one or all as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting HEIC to PNG reduce quality?
No — PNG is lossless, so the result keeps every pixel of your HEIC.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes — drop as many as you like and download them all as one ZIP.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — check your browser's Network tab, or turn on airplane mode after the page loads and see that it still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limits and no paid “HD” downloads.
Do downloads still contain my location?
No. Every file you download is saved without hidden metadata like GPS location, camera serial number or owner name.
