Question 1

What is HEIC to PNG?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is this HEIC to PNG converter really free and unlimited?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is it safe to convert private photos on this website?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Does converting HEIC to PNG lose image quality?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Does PNG support transparent backgrounds?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we support robust batch processing. You can drag and drop up to 100 HEIC images (max 50MB each) simultaneously. Our tool will process them in a queue and allow you to download them all as a single ZIP file.

Question 8

Does this work with .heif files, or only .heic?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

What is the difference between HEIC and PNG?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Can I resize or reduce the file size when converting HEIC to PNG?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

My HEIC photos come out rotated or sideways — can the converter fix that?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

Can I convert HEIC to PNG without uploading my photos to a server?

Accepted Answer

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.
