How to use the HEIC to PNG
- Drop your HEIC photos on the box, or click to choose them.
- PNG is preselected — switch to JPG or WebP for smaller files.
- Download each file or all of them as a ZIP.
What is a HEIC file?
Since iOS 11, iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), which uses the HEVC video codec to store images about half the size of an equivalent JPG. The catch: Windows without extensions, most Android apps, many websites, upload forms and older editors can’t open HEIC. Converting to PNG makes the photo work everywhere.
JPG, PNG or WebP?
| Format | Best for | File size |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Photos for sharing, email, upload forms | Small — quality 85–90 looks identical to the original |
| PNG | Screenshots, graphics, when you need lossless pixels | Large for photos (often 3–5× the JPG) |
| WebP | Websites and apps | Smallest at the same quality |
Live Photos, bursts and depth
A HEIC file can contain several images (bursts, depth maps, Live Photo stills). The converter exports the primary image — the one you see in the Photos app. To stop your iPhone creating HEIC files, go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose Most Compatible.
Shrink the result further with the image compressor, resize it with the image resizer, or check and remove location data with the EXIF viewer & remover.
Private by design
Your images are processed entirely in your browser with the Canvas API — nothing is uploaded, so personal photos, screenshots and client work never leave your device. There are no watermarks, sign-ups or file limits beyond your device’s memory.
