iPhones save photos as HEIC, which most Windows PCs, Android devices and websites can't open. Converting to PNG fixes that compatibility problem — and unlike JPG, PNG is lossless, so the converted image is stored pixel-for-pixel with no compression artifacts.
That makes HEIC → PNG the right choice when you plan to edit the photo, drop it into a design or document, or need the crispest possible copy. If you just want a small file to email or share, HEIC → JPG is usually the better pick, since PNG copies of photos are noticeably larger.
Your HEIC photo is decoded and re-saved as a PNG entirely in your browser, with no uploads, so even personal photos stay on your own device. Drop in a whole camera roll export and every photo converts in the same batch — no per-file limit beyond your browser's memory.
This works the same way regardless of where the HEIC came from — an iPhone AirDropped photo, a Mac Photos library export, or a HEIC attachment opened on Windows or Android. Because the conversion runs locally, there's no app to install and no account needed on any of them.

HEIC to a lossless format
Converting an iPhone photo to PNG gives you a file that opens on any device and loses nothing further, because PNG stores every pixel exactly. That makes it the right choice when the image is heading into editing, design work or print rather than straight into a message.
It is not the small option. PNG is lossless and photographs contain enormous detail, so expect files several times the size of the HEIC — sometimes several times a JPG of the same picture too.
PNG or JPG for an iPhone photo?
- Choose PNG
- Editing, compositing, print work, or any image that will be saved repeatedly without accumulating loss.
- Choose JPG
- Sharing, uploading, emailing and archiving ordinary photographs, where the size difference is what matters.
- Either way
- Both open everywhere, which is the reason to convert away from HEIC at all.
Your photos stay on your device
HEIC files are decoded in your browser, so personal photographs and the location data inside them are never uploaded. If you intend to publish the images, check what they are carrying with the metadata checker first.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose PNG or JPG?
Pick PNG for editing or maximum quality; pick JPG for a small, easy-to-share file. PNG is lossless and larger; JPG is compressed and smaller.
Will the PNG keep full quality?
Yes. PNG is lossless, so the converted image preserves all the detail decoded from the HEIC photo.
Why is the PNG file large?
Lossless compression stores every pixel exactly, so PNG copies of photos are bigger than HEIC or JPG. That's the cost of no quality loss.
Can I convert multiple HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Drop in several HEIC files and each one converts to PNG in the same batch; download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Does this work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Conversion runs in the browser itself, so it works the same on any device with a modern browser — no software to install.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The HEIC decoding and PNG export run entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
