Convert HEIC to PNG
Turn HEIC images into PNG right in your browser. Batch conversion, adjustable quality, metadata removed by default, and no file ever leaves your device.
HEIC
HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in since iOS 11. It keeps the same quality as JPG at about half the size.
Windows, Android apps and most upload forms still don’t accept HEIC, which is why it so often has to become a JPG.
PNG
PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so it is used for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges.
For photos PNG files are several times larger than JPG, which matters when a form or a message has a size limit.
How it works
- Your HEIC files are decoded by the browser on this device and saved as PNG. Photos keep their orientation.
- Drop many files at once and download them one by one or as a ZIP.
- Metadata such as GPS location is removed by default; switch it off to keep EXIF in JPG files.
Questions
Which browsers can open HEIC?
Safari reads HEIC natively. In Chrome, Edge and Firefox we download a HEIC decoder (about 1.5 MB, the open-source libheif compiled to WebAssembly) once, the first time you convert. It runs on your device and is cached.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Conversion happens in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Which licence do the codecs use?
The AVIF and WebP encoders are Apache-2.0 builds of libavif and libwebp. The HEIC decoder is libheif (LGPL-3.0), loaded as a separate file rather than built into our code.
