Batch Conversion
Free & Private
High-Quality PNG
Private & on-device — your HEIC files are converted locally in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
No internet needed after this page loads — turn off your Wi-Fi and HEIC conversion still works offline.
Your photos stay private — 0 bytes uploaded to our servers
Your photos never leave your device
heictopng.org converts HEIC entirely inside your browser using a local WebAssembly engine, so your photos are private and never uploaded to a server — unlike most online converters, which send every photo to theirs.
No upload, ever
Conversion runs on your device. Not a single byte of your photos is sent to our servers.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded, turn off your Wi-Fi and it keeps converting. A cloud converter can't.
Nothing to leak
We have no server that stores your images, so there is nothing to breach, sell, or hand over.
How to check that nothing is uploaded
- Go offline. Open this page, turn off your Wi-Fi or switch on airplane mode, then drop in your HEIC photos. They still convert, because there's no server involved.
- Watch the upload counter. The badge next to the converter shows how many bytes of your photos have been sent to our servers. It stays at 0 bytes, however many files you convert.
- Open your browser's DevTools. In the Network tab, convert a few photos: no request carries your image data. You'll only see the page's own files and standard analytics and ad scripts, none of which contain your photos.
- How it works. The HEIC decoder (libheif) is compiled to WebAssembly and runs in background workers inside your browser. There is no server-side conversion endpoint to send photos to.
No internet needed after the page loads — go offline and it still converts every HEIC locally.
HEIC vs PNG vs JPG — Which Should You Use?
HEIC cuts iPhone storage in half, but most Windows apps, web uploaders, and email clients still can’t open it. PNG and JPG are the universal fallbacks. Here’s how the three formats compare, so you know which one to convert to.

Converting HEIC → PNG preserves every pixel with zero visible loss. Converting HEIC → JPG gets you smaller files but compresses colors and details. WebP fits between the two — lossless WebP matches PNG quality at roughly half the bytes, and lossy WebP undercuts JPG by 25–35% at the same visual quality. Pick PNG for editing, JPG for legacy compatibility, WebP for the modern web — and PDF when you need to bundle multiple photos into a single paginated document for a form or submission.
What Makes This HEIC to PNG Converter Different
This converter does its work inside your browser instead of on a server, so your photos stay private, batches run locally, and there's nothing to pay for.
100% Secure Client-Side Conversion
Unlike other tools that upload your private photos to a server, our HEIC to PNG converter processes everything locally in your browser, so your data never leaves your device. Because nothing is transmitted, there's nothing to intercept in transit.

HEIC to PNG — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on converting HEIC to PNG — privacy, quality and EXIF, batch limits, transparency, .heif support, and how it works on every device.
1
What is HEIC to PNG?
HEIC to PNG converts Apple's High Efficiency Image Coding (HEIC) photos into Portable Network Graphics (PNG). PNG is lossless and works in every browser and app, while HEIC only plays nicely inside Apple's ecosystem — which is why a converter matters.
2
Is this HEIC to PNG converter really free and unlimited?
Yes. Unlike converters that cap you at a handful of files, this tool is completely free — convert 100 HEIC files per batch (30 on mobile) and run as many batches as you like, with no daily limit, paywall, or sign-up.
3
Is it safe to convert private photos on this website?
Absolutely. We use Client-Side Processing technology. This means your photos are converted directly inside your browser and are never uploaded to our servers. Your personal data stays on your device, ensuring 100% privacy and security.
4
Will the converted PNG keep EXIF metadata like date, GPS, and camera info?
No — the PNG format doesn't carry date, GPS or camera info, so PNG output never includes them. Need EXIF? Convert to JPG or WebP and turn on Preserve EXIF; GPS can still be stripped separately. Orientation is always applied, so photos never come out sideways.
5
Does converting HEIC to PNG lose image quality?
No. Every pixel is decoded and saved losslessly at the original resolution, so there's no compression loss in the PNG. The one thing that changes is color management: the photo is rendered for standard screens rather than keeping its original color profile (see the ICC question below).
6
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes, we support robust batch processing. Drop up to 100 HEIC images per batch (30 on mobile); the tool processes them in a queue and lets you download them all as a single ZIP. Then clear the list and start the next batch — there's no limit on how many batches you run.
7
Does PNG support transparent backgrounds?
Yes. If your original HEIF/HEIC image contains transparency data, converting it to PNG will preserve that transparency. This makes PNG the ideal format for logos, graphics, and editing layers.
8
Does this work with .heif files, or only .heic?
Both. HEIC and HEIF share the same underlying container and HEVC encoding — HEIC is just Apple's brand name for HEIF images. HeicToPng.org decodes .heic and .heif files identically and produces the same lossless PNG output. If your file ends in either extension, drop it in.
9
What is the difference between HEIC and PNG?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) is Apple's format for saving space on iPhones. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a universally compatible format known for lossless quality and transparency. Converting to PNG ensures your photos can be viewed on all devices and websites.
10
Can I resize or reduce the file size when converting HEIC to PNG?
Yes. Open Advanced Settings and set a Max dimension — cap the long side at 4096, 2048, or 1024 px to shrink large iPhone photos before they become PNGs. PNG is lossless, so full-resolution files can get big; downscaling is the easiest way to get a smaller PNG for email, web upload, or sharing. Leave it on "Original" to keep every pixel.
11
My HEIC photos come out rotated or sideways — can the converter fix that?
Yes. "Auto-rotate by EXIF orientation" is on by default, so portrait and landscape shots keep the orientation you took them in. If a converted PNG ever looks sideways, it's almost always a missing EXIF rotation flag — our converter reads that flag and rotates the image correctly before export.
12
Can I convert HEIC to PNG without uploading my photos to a server?
Yes — that's the whole point. heictopng.org converts HEIC to PNG entirely inside your browser using client-side code. Your files are never uploaded to any server, so there's nothing to leak, store, or delete. It's the same result as a desktop app, with no install and no upload.
13
Does the PNG keep the original ICC color profile?
No. The photo is rendered for standard screens and the original profile (such as Display P3) isn't embedded, so colors look right in browsers and most apps. For color-critical print or design work, export with a color-managed desktop tool instead.
14
Is there a file-size limit?
No fixed limit — files never leave your device, so the only limit is your device's memory. Very large photos convert fine on desktop; on phones we process 30 files per batch to stay stable.
15
Does it work on Android?
Yes. Open heictopng.org in Chrome or any modern Android browser, pick HEIC files from your gallery or Files app, and download the PNGs — no app to install. Up to 30 files per batch on mobile.
16
Why won't HEIC files open on Windows 11?
Windows 11 doesn't ship with the codec HEIC needs, so the Photos app shows an error or a blank thumbnail until you install the HEIF and HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store. The quickest workaround is to convert the photos to PNG right here — nothing to install. Read the full Windows 11 fix →
