How to do it, step by step
- Select the HEIC or HEIF photos.
- Check that the output format is PNG (quality does not apply to PNG).
- Click Convert all.
- Download the images or the ZIP.
When this is useful
Edit the photo in programs that do not read HEIC
Many graphics editors and design sites accept PNG, but not HEIC.
Archive an important photo
PNG does not lose detail with each save, unlike JPG.
Screenshots and images with transparent areas
PNG keeps the transparency when the original file has it.
Tips for a good result
- A 12-megapixel photo as PNG can be several times bigger than as JPG: check the size shown after the conversion.
- For ordinary photos that will only be viewed or sent, HEIC to JPG produces much smaller files.
What this tool does not do
- PNG recovers nothing: the photo has already gone through HEIC compression, and PNG only avoids additional loss.
- Original color profiles and HDR are not preserved.
- Converter limits: 40 megapixels, 16,384 pixels per side, 50 photos and 200 MB per queue.
Frequently asked questions
- Is PNG better than JPG for photos?
- It is better for avoiding new losses and for transparency, but the file is much bigger. For sharing, JPG is usually the practical choice.
- Does the app show how much the file grew?
- Yes. After the conversion the original and the new size appear, with the percentage difference.
