Frequently asked questions

Can I convert HEIC to PNG for free?

Yes. This HEIC to PNG converter is free to use, with no sign-up and no limit on the number of images.

Does this tool also convert HEIC to JPG?

Yes. Choose JPG from the "Convert to" menu to convert HEIC to JPG, with an adjustable quality slider to control file size.

Can I convert HEIF files, not just HEIC?

Yes. HEIC is Apple's name for photos stored in the HEIF format, so this tool converts HEIF to PNG and HEIF to JPG the same way it handles HEIC files.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser. Your HEIC and HEIF photos are never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Will converting HEIC to JPG make the file smaller?

Usually, yes. JPG uses compression, so HEIC to JPG conversions are typically smaller than HEIC to PNG conversions. Lowering the JPG quality slider reduces the file size further.

How to Convert HEIC and HEIF Photos to PNG or JPG

If your iPhone photos won’t open properly on a Windows PC, in an old app, or on a website, it’s because they’re saved in Apple’s HEIC format. This tool converts HEIC and HEIF photos to PNG or JPG for free, directly in your browser. No software to install, no account needed, and no files ever leave your device.

What is HEIC, and why do I need to convert it?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It stores photos at a much smaller file size than JPG, but many programs, websites, and older devices can’t open it. HEIF is the broader format standard that HEIC is built on. This tool treats HEIC and HEIF files exactly the same way, so both convert without any extra steps.

You’ll typically need to convert HEIC when:

  • Uploading a photo to a website that only accepts JPG or PNG
  • Sending a photo to someone using Windows or Android
  • Opening a photo in an older program that doesn’t recognize HEIC
  • Editing a photo in software that requires JPG or PNG

Step-by-step: How to use the converter

1. Add your photos. Drag your HEIC or HEIF files into the box on this page, or click “Choose Files” to pick them from your device. You can select several photos at once.

2.Choose your output format.

  • Pick PNG if you want the highest possible quality with no compression — useful for graphics, screenshots, or images you plan to edit further.
  • Pick JPG if you want a smaller file size — better for emailing, uploading, or sharing, since JPG compresses the image.

3. Adjust the settings, if you’d like.

  • If you chose JPG, use the quality slider to balance file size against image quality. 85% is a good default for most photos.
  • Use maximum dimension if your photo is larger than you need; for example, choosing 1920px will shrink a 4032×3024 photo down while keeping its proportions, which is ideal for websites and social media.

4. Click “Convert Images.” Your photos are converted instantly, right there in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Is it safe? Where do my photos go?

Your photos never leave your device. This tool decodes and converts HEIC/HEIF files entirely inside your web browser using local processing — nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else. You can safely convert personal or sensitive photos.

Tips for the best results

  • Converting for email or social media? Choose JPG with a maximum dimension of 1920px or 1600px — it’ll load faster with barely any visible quality loss.
  • Converting for print or design work? Choose PNG and leave the dimension at “Original size” to preserve full quality.
  • Converting a large batch? Add all your files at once before clicking Convert — you don’t need to do them one at a time.
  • Photo looks sideways after converting? This can happen with photos that have unusual orientation metadata. Try re-taking the photo or rotating it after conversion in any basic photo viewer.

Troubleshooting

“Not a valid HEIC file” error: The file may be corrupted, or it might be a different format with a .heic extension by mistake. Try opening it on the device it was taken on first.

Conversion seems slow or the page freezes: Very large photos or large batches can take a moment, especially on older phones or tablets. Try converting fewer photos at a time.

File didn’t download: Check your browser’s download settings or downloads folder. Some browsers ask for confirmation before saving a file.
