Convert HEIC to PNG

The lossless route out of HEIC. Where converting to JPG applies a fresh round of compression, PNG stores the decoded picture exactly — so the photo can be edited and re-saved without degrading each time.

Supports HEIC, HEIF · Max 50 MB per file · Up to 100 files

You can also paste a copied image with Ctrl+V / ⌘V

Your files are secure and privateDeleted automatically after conversion. We never look at or share your data.

Conversion settings

We measure the result against your original and pick the smallest file that still looks the same. No guessing at numbers.

EXIF can contain GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers. Off by default.

Output quality

Lossless from the decode onward. The HEIC is decoded once, and every pixel that comes out is written to the PNG exactly, so no second generation of compression is applied on top of what the phone already did. That is the difference from HEIC to JPG, which is smaller but adds a fresh round of loss. Colour depth is preserved; EXIF, including GPS coordinates, is removed unless you ask for it to stay.

Common use cases

  • An iPhone photo headed into an editor

    Retouching means opening and saving repeatedly. Starting from a lossless copy means those saves cost nothing.

  • A system that accepts PNG only

    Some upload forms and internal tools list PNG as the single allowed image type, and will not take HEIC or JPG.

  • Screenshots and documents photographed on a phone

    Text and sharp edges are exactly what lossy compression handles worst. PNG keeps them crisp.

Settings you can change

  • Keep EXIF metadata

    Default: off.

Troubleshooting

The PNG is very large
Normal for a photograph stored losslessly. HEIC to JPG gives a far smaller file, or run the result through Compress PNG if you need PNG specifically.
The file was rejected as an unsupported type
We check the actual bytes, not the extension. A file renamed to .heic that is really a JPG or a video will be refused — use the tool that matches its true format.
Only one photo of a Live Photo came through
A Live Photo is a still plus a short video stored together. Only the still image is converted; the motion part is a separate video file on the phone.

Privacy and file deletion

  • Stored under a random nameUploads have no connection to the file name you sent and are never served from a public directory. This tool accepts files up to 50 MB, several at a time.
  • Deleted on a timerUploads are removed within 2 hours and finished results within 24 hours, whichever comes first.
  • Nobody looks at themNo one browses uploads, nothing is shared with third parties, and no file is used to train anything. The only thing kept past deletion is the size and timing of the job.
  • Encrypted in transitEvery request runs over HTTPS, so the file is encrypted between your device and our server.

Frequently asked questions

Browse image tools
  • Should I pick PNG or JPG for iPhone photos?

    JPG for anything you are sending on or uploading — it is far smaller and universally accepted. PNG when the photo is going into an editor, will be re-saved several times, or needs to stay pixel-exact.

  • Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

    HEIC is a modern lossy format and compresses roughly twice as hard as JPG. PNG is lossless. A five to fifteen times increase is normal for a photograph and is not a sign that anything went wrong.

  • Is the location data removed?

    Yes, by default. iPhone photos record where they were taken; EXIF is stripped unless you switch on the option to keep it. If you only want the metadata gone and the file otherwise untouched, use Remove Metadata instead.

  • What happens to the images I upload in a batch?

    Files up to 50 MB are accepted, and a batch is handled as separate jobs that are zipped together at the end. Every upload is stored under a random name, never served from a public folder, and deleted within 2 hours — the finished file within 24. We never open, inspect or share them, and there is no account they could be tied to.
