How do you convert HEIC to PNG?
Drop your HEIC photos into the tool above and download the PNGs. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — the first file takes a second or two while the HEIC decoder loads, then the rest are quick.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
HEIC is the format iPhones use to save photos efficiently, but it often won't open on Windows, Android, or older software, and many websites reject it. Converting to PNG gives you a universally compatible, lossless copy that opens and displays everywhere. For the full background, see what HEIC is.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No — and that matters for personal photos. Unlike most HEIC converters, which upload your images to a server, this tool decodes everything locally in your browser using an in-page decoder. Your photos never leave your device.
Should you convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
PNG is lossless, so it's the best choice when you want a perfect, edit-ready copy — though the files are larger. For sharing everyday photos at a smaller size, JPG is usually more practical. Weigh them up in PNG vs JPG.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is the first conversion slower?
- The HEIC decoder is a sizeable component that loads on first use. Once it's loaded, the rest of your photos convert quickly.
- Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?
- Yes. Drop in as many as you like — each is decoded to its own PNG with no batch limit.
- Does it work on any device?
- It runs in any modern browser, including on Windows and Android where HEIC normally won't open, because the decoding happens in the page itself.
- Do you upload my photos?
- No. Everything happens in your browser — your photos are never uploaded, stored, or seen by us.
