Why convert HEIC to PNG?
Only Safari shows HEIC in a browser, Windows needs extensions from the Microsoft Store, and many apps can't open it at all. PNG opens in design tools, Office and email. The PNG is bigger than the HEIC and looks the same.

HEIC vs PNG
HEIC is made to save space on your iPhone. PNG files are much bigger, but every app and browser opens them. Keep HEIC on the phone; use PNG when an app can't open HEIC. For a photo you want to share, JPG is smaller.

HEIC to PNG: frequently asked questions
Can I convert HEIF files to PNG?
Yes. We accept .heif files like .heic, as long as they hold HEVC or AV1 image data.
Why is my PNG bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC stores images more efficiently, so the same image needs more bytes as PNG. Measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, it usually comes out about 3 times the size.
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
To save space: Apple says HEIC compresses better than JPEG at the same visual quality. The catch is compatibility, so you often need a JPG before sharing.
HEIC or PNG: which should I use?
To share a photo with others, use neither: convert it to JPG. PNG is made for graphics with sharp edges, flat colours or transparency, such as logos and screenshots. A photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than the HEIC, which makes it slow to send and often too large for upload limits.
JPG or PNG: which should I use?
JPG for photos: much smaller, and it opens everywhere. PNG for logos, screenshots and cut-outs: it keeps every pixel and supports transparency. A photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than it needs to be, while flat graphics or art may be much smaller and higher quality with PNG. Screenshots and text can get fuzzy edges as JPG, so keep those as PNG.
Is PNG lossless?
Yes. A PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is also why the files are large. Our compressor applies lossy compression by reducing the colours, so its result looks the same rather than being pixel-identical.
How do I convert HEIC to PNG?
Add your HEIC photos above, choose PNG and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.
How do I open a HEIC file?
Apple devices open it, and Safari is the only browser that shows it. Windows needs two extensions from the Microsoft Store: the free HEIF Image Extension and the paid HEVC Video Extensions. Despite the name, the HEVC one is what decodes the photo. Or convert it to JPG or PNG here.
Is it free?
Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.
Are my images private?
Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.
What happens to the metadata?
We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
