How to Convert HEIC to PNG
HEIC files from iPhones and iPads can be converted to PNG format for lossless quality preservation. PNG is ideal when you need to maintain maximum image quality for editing, graphics work, or archival purposes.
Upload your HEIC photos using the form above. The converter decodes them with libheif and writes a lossless PNG at the photo's full resolution, turned upright according to the orientation the phone recorded. Because PNG is lossless, expect a much larger file: in our test a 2.0 MB iPhone photo became a 14.5 MB PNG. The photo's EXIF data — camera model and, if the phone saved it, the GPS location — is carried into the PNG, so tick "Remove GPS location" above the upload area if the location is private; the camera model, date and orientation stay.
