Files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser, nothing touches a server — tools you've used even work offline.

Convert iPhone HEIC photos straight to lossless PNG — everything runs in your browser, and the pixels read from the photo are exactly the pixels PNG stores. That makes PNG the right stop before editing or archiving: no second round of lossy compression on top of HEIC’s. Drop a whole album and download the set as a ZIP.

How it works

  1. Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with ⌘V.
  2. Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it.
  3. Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP.

PNG or JPG for iPhone photos

Pick PNG when the photo has work ahead of it — retouching, design mockups, archival copies — because every later save starts from perfect pixels. Pick HEIC to JPG when the photo just needs to open somewhere: a form, an old app, a website. JPG is the sharing format; PNG is the working format.

Size expectations, honestly

A 3 MB HEIC routinely becomes a 15–25 MB PNG. Nothing is wrong when that happens — HEIC spends a decade of clever engineering on making photos tiny, and PNG spends nothing. If the sizes hurt, convert to JPG at quality 85 instead, or keep HEIC and just compress it.

Frequently asked questions

Why PNG instead of JPG?

PNG stores the decoded photo losslessly, so nothing degrades before you edit or archive it. If the photo is just being shared or uploaded somewhere, JPG is far smaller and the more practical pick.

Will the PNG files be large?

Yes — expect several times the HEIC size. HEIC is one of the most efficient photo formats there is, and lossless PNG pays for its perfection in bytes. That trade is the point: perfect pixels for editing, not small files for sharing.

Is anything lost in the conversion?

No pixels are — the decode is exact and PNG is lossless. Metadata (EXIF, GPS) is stripped in the process, which for most people is a feature; rotation is applied so photos come out upright.

Is it private?

Yes. The conversion happens entirely on your device — the image is read, re-encoded and saved without ever touching a network. There is no server-side queue, no temporary copy in some bucket, nothing to expire or leak. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works.
