Overview

HeicToPng is a lightweight web utility designed to convert Apple's HEIC photo format into widely supported PNG files. Because iPhones often save images as HEIC by default, many users run into compatibility issues when sharing or editing those photos on Windows, older software, or web platforms that expect PNG or JPEG. The tool runs directly in the browser, so there is no software to install or account to create. Users drag in a HEIC file, wait briefly for the conversion, and download a PNG ready for use in documents, websites, or image editors. It is aimed at casual users who need a quick, no-friction way to handle a few photos rather than running batch pipelines.

Key features

  • HEIC to PNG file conversion
  • Browser-based, no install needed
  • Drag-and-drop file upload

  • Works across desktop and mobile browsers
  • Free access without account creation

Convert HEIC photos to PNG so they can be uploaded to websites, forms, or CMS platforms that only accept standard formats like PNG or JPEG.

Share photos in documents and editors

Transform HEIC files into PNGs ready to drop into Word documents, slide decks, or image editors that don't support Apple's HEIC format.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: drag-and-drop file upload and simple drag-and-drop interface. Where it lags: depends on upload speed for large files. On balance the feature set — especially works across desktop and mobile browsers — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Works across desktop and mobile browsers just works and free to use for quick conversions. Limited to HEIC-to-PNG conversion can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. HEIC to PNG file conversion is exactly what I needed, and solves common iPhone HEIC compatibility issues. I do wish may have file size or batch limits, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Q&A

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.

Asked by Quyen Tran · Jan 18, 2026

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 — batch-convert up to 100 HEIC files at a time with no daily limits, paywalls, or sign-ups.

Asked by Nikolai Petrenko · Jan 3, 2026

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.

Asked by Jovana Petrovic · Jan 1, 2026

Will the converted PNG keep EXIF metadata like date, GPS, and camera info?

Yes. HeicToPng.org preserves EXIF metadata — date taken, GPS coordinates, camera model, shutter speed, lens data — when converting HEIC to PNG. Your photo's timestamps stay intact, so the PNG lands in the right place in Photos or Google Photos ordered by date.

Asked by Zara Ahmed · Jan 1, 2026

Does converting HEIC to PNG lose image quality?

No. PNG is a lossless format. Our converter preserves the original resolution, colors, and details of your HEIC photos. While the file size might increase slightly compared to compressed JPGs, the visual quality remains identical to the original Apple photo.
