How to convert HEIC to PNG
PNG keeps every pixel of your iPhone photo with no further compression, which is useful when you want to edit the image without losing quality. For sharing, JPG gives far smaller files.
- Drop your HEIC file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- PNG is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your PNG file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "png".
Good to know
- PNG files from photos are large, often 5–10× a JPG. Use HEIC to JPG if you just need to share or upload.
- Metadata such as GPS location is removed by default.
- The image is turned the right way up automatically.
About the formats
.heic
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It's about half the size of a JPG at similar quality, but Windows, many websites and older Android phones can't open it without extra software.
.png
PNG is a lossless image format: it keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, which makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or text.
Questions
Is PNG better quality than JPG for photos?
PNG adds no compression loss, so it's an exact copy of what was decoded from the HEIC. For viewing, a JPG at quality 90+ looks the same and is much smaller.
Does it keep HDR?
No. The photo is converted to a standard 8-bit image, which is what PNG viewers expect.
Are my photos private?
Your files are uploaded over HTTPS to a private link only you have. Originals and results are deleted automatically after 24 hours, or straight away when you remove them.
