HEIC to PNG
Converting HEIC to PNG gives you a universally-supported, lossless file — useful when you need to edit an iPhone photo in software that doesn't understand HEIC at all.
PNG is the safer target than JPG here if you plan to edit the image further, since it won't compound compression loss on top of what HEIC already applied to the original photo.
As a rule of thumb: stick with HEIC when you need it for iphone photo storage, and convert to PNG when screenshots, logos, graphics with text is what you actually need instead. Converting also gains you transparency support, which HEIC doesn't have.

Frequently asked
- Is my HEIC file uploaded to a server?
- No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
- What's the maximum file size?
- There's no hard limit, but very large images (over ~50 megapixels) may be slow to process since everything runs on your device rather than a server.
- Can I convert multiple files at once?
- Yes, the converter above accepts multiple files and lets you download them all at once as a zip.
