How to use this tool

To convert HEIC to PNG, add your iPhone or iPad photos here and download full-resolution PNG copies that open on Windows, Android, websites and every design app. PNG is lossless, so it’s the right pick when you plan to edit, retouch or design with the photo. Conversion runs in your browser and your photos stay on your device.

HEIC, PNG or JPG?

• HEIC is Apple’s space-saving photo format, used by iPhone and iPad cameras • PNG is lossless and opens everywhere, ideal for editing and design work • JPG gives much smaller files for sharing; use the SocQ HEIC to JPG converter for that • Choose PNG when you’ll edit the photo again or need pixel-exact copies

Getting HEIC files off an iPhone

• AirDrop or iCloud Photos keep the original HEIC files • On Windows, the Photos app or File Explorer can copy them from a USB-connected iPhone • To shoot in JPG from now on, go to Settings › Camera › Formats and choose Most Compatible

iPhone photos for social media

Converted PNGs are ready for editing, thumbnails and carousel slides. Crop them for Instagram (1080 × 1350) or Stories and Reels covers (1080 × 1920) with the crop tool or social media image resizer, and keep a smaller JPG for quick sharing. Location and camera details are left out of the PNG, which is handy before posting publicly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to PNG?

1. Click Choose files and select up to 20 HEIC photos. 2. Each PNG is created automatically. 3. Click Download, or Download ZIP for all of them.

Is HEIC to PNG lossless?

Yes. The PNG keeps every pixel of the decoded photo at full resolution, so the conversion adds no further compression.

Why is the PNG bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC is a highly compressed photo format, while PNG stores every pixel losslessly, so a 2 MB HEIC can become a PNG many times larger. For small files, use the HEIC to JPG converter.

Can I convert HEIC on Windows?

Yes. This converter runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Android and iPhone, with no extensions or codecs to install.

Does the PNG include the photo’s location?

No. The PNG contains the image itself, without GPS location or camera details, so it’s ready to share publicly. To clean other photos too, use the image metadata remover.

Can I convert many photos at once?

Yes, up to 20 per batch. Large HEIC files take a few seconds each.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Conversion happens in your browser and your photos stay on your device.

What about HEIF files?

HEIF is the general format behind HEIC, and .heif files convert the same way.

Should I choose HEIC to PNG or HEIC to JPG?

Choose PNG for editing, design work and pixel-exact copies. Choose JPG for sharing, email and uploads where a small file matters; SocQ has a HEIC to JPG converter for that.

Is the HEIC to PNG converter free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark and no limit on batches.
