Why convert HEIC to PNG?
To convert HEIC files to PNG, drop them on the counter above. HEIC photos from an iPhone will not open on many Windows PCs, websites and upload forms. PNG is lossless, keeps transparent backgrounds and holds text and lines sharp.
Most files convert in seconds: no queue, no email address, and the PNG result saves straight to your computer or phone.

About the formats
HEIC
High Efficiency Image Container
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It takes roughly half the space of JPG at the same quality, but Windows, websites and upload forms often cannot open it.
PNG
Portable Network Graphics
PNG is an image format with lossless compression and full transparency. Because it keeps every pixel exactly, it suits screenshots, logos and images that contain text.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting HEIC to PNG free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does converting to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG keeps the current picture exactly but cannot restore detail lost when the HEIC was saved. The benefit is that further edits will not degrade it any more.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
