Why PNG instead of JPG
PNG is better when transparency, lossless quality, or repeated editing matters.
Because PNG uses lossless compression after decoding, it avoids adding new lossy artifacts when you edit and save again. Dimensions change only when you select a resize option.
It also supports transparent backgrounds, making PNG a dependable choice for screenshots, logos, interface assets, and design work.
Choose JPG when a smaller photo file matters more than lossless quality.
| Feature | PNG | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression & quality | Lossless; no added artifacts | Lossy; quality can degrade |
| Transparency | Supported | Not supported |
| Typical file size | Usually larger for photos | Usually smaller for photos |

heictopng.io converts locally in your browser. There is no upload to intercept and no server-side copy to store or delete.
That is especially useful for family photos, medical images, ID scans, and other sensitive files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about quality, privacy, compatibility, and HEIC or HEIF images.
What is heictopng.io?
heictopng.io is a free online tool that converts HEIC and HEIF image files to PNG quickly and directly in your browser.
Is heictopng.io really free?
Yes. There are no hidden fees, watermarks, or sign-up requirements. Convert as many batches of files as you need, whenever you need to.
Do I need to create an account?
No. heictopng.io works with zero sign-up. Just open the site and start converting.
Do you upload my photos to a server?
No. Image files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded for conversion.
Will converting HEIC to PNG lose image quality?
Lossless mode preserves decoded pixel quality and the selected dimensions, but the PNG output can be larger than the source HEIC or HEIF file. Smaller-file mode reduces the color palette and may slightly reduce color detail.
How many files can I convert at once?
You can convert up to 10 files per batch, with a maximum file size of 50 MB per file and a 150 MB total batch limit.
Does heictopng.io work on Windows?
Yes. Since it runs entirely in your browser, heictopng.io works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, and mobile devices, with no software installation required.
Why can’t Windows open my iPhone photos?
iPhones save photos in Apple’s HEIC/HEIF format by default, which is not natively supported by many versions of Windows Photo Viewer without additional codecs. Converting them to PNG makes them broadly viewable without extra software.
