What is a HEIC to PNG converter?

A HEIC to PNG converter changes an Apple HEIC (or HEIF) image into the widely supported PNG format. HEIC is the efficient format modern iPhones use to save space while keeping high quality, but it isn't natively readable by many Windows systems, Android devices, older apps, or most websites. Converting to PNG makes the photo viewable virtually everywhere and gives you a format that drops straight into documents, slides and design tools. This tool runs the conversion in your browser with WebAssembly, so your photos are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. You can select multiple HEIC files at once, see a preview of each converted image, and download all of them as PNG. The engine handles the HEIC decoding locally, which keeps your private photos private while producing standard, portable PNG output.

How to use

Select one or more HEIC/HEIF photos from your iPhone.
They are converted to PNG automatically in your browser.
Download the PNG files.

Example

Select three .heic photos from an iPhone. The tool converts each to PNG and shows a preview grid; click Download all as PNG to save the three PNG files to your downloads.

Common use cases

Opening iPhone photos on a Windows PC or other device that can't read HEIC.
Uploading photos to a website, CMS or tool that only accepts PNG/JPEG.
Sharing a photo as a universal format that any recipient can open.
Preparing high-quality stills for a document, slide or design project.

Pro tips

Select multiple HEIC files at once; each is converted and previewed in a grid.
PNG keeps full quality and lossless pixels, so it is safe for editing and archiving.
Conversion is local via WebAssembly, so it needs internet once to load the library.
For a smaller file, convert to JPEG or WebP instead of PNG.
