HEIC to PNG Converter

How to Use the HEIC to PNG Converter

1. Drop your HEIC files into the box above or click to choose them. You can add up to 100 at once.
2. Click Convert to PNG.
3. Download each PNG, or all of them together as a ZIP.

Why Choose PNG Instead of JPG?

PNG is a lossless format: the converter saves every pixel of the decoded photo without adding any compression artifacts. That makes PNG the better choice when you're going to edit, crop or retouch the photo, because each later save in a lossless format doesn't reduce the quality further.

PNG also supports transparency, so the rare HEIC files that contain a transparent background, such as cut-out subjects, keep it.

• Editing photos in software that doesn't open HEIC files.
• Keeping a lossless copy for printing or archiving.
• Design work where you need a format without JPG artifacts.

Expect Much Larger Files

HEIC compresses photos very efficiently and PNG doesn't compress photos well, so a PNG is usually many times larger than the HEIC original, often ten times or more. That's normal for a lossless copy of a photo. If you only need to share or upload the photo, HEIC to JPG gives you a much smaller file that looks the same.

Correct Colors, Full Resolution

The photos are decoded with libheif, an open-source HEIF decoder, right in your browser. iPhones record photos in the wide Display P3 color space; the converter translates them to standard sRGB so the PNG shows the right colors everywhere, at the original resolution.

Limitations

• EXIF metadata (camera, date taken, GPS location) is not copied to the PNG.
• A HEIC file can contain several images, for example dynamic wallpapers. Only the main image is converted.
• Depth data and HDR information are not kept. The PNG is a standard 8-bit sRGB image, so the most saturated Display P3 colors are reduced slightly to the closest sRGB color.
• On iPhone and iPad, photos larger than about 16.7 megapixels are scaled down to fit Safari's canvas limit. The new size is shown next to the file.
