Why Convert HEIC to PNG?
iPhones save photos in HEIC format by default since iOS 11. While HEIC produces smaller files, PNG is universally accepted and provides lossless quality. Converting HEIC to PNG is perfect when you need to preserve maximum detail for graphic design or further editing.
To prevent iPhone from shooting HEIC, go to Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. This captures in JPG instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format used by iPhone and iPad (iOS 11+). It produces smaller files than standard formats while maintaining quality, but is not universally supported outside Apple devices.
How do I convert HEIC to PNG for free?
Upload your HEIC file using the button above. PhotoRule uses heic2any — a JavaScript library — to convert it entirely in your browser. Click Download PNG once the conversion is done.
Why should I convert HEIC to PNG instead of JPG?
PNG is a lossless format, meaning it preserves all the original detail of your HEIC photo without introducing compression artifacts. It also supports transparency, making it ideal for web design and editing.
Does my HEIC photo get sent to a server?
No. The conversion uses heic2any, a browser-based library. Your photo is processed entirely on your device and never transmitted anywhere.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Currently PhotoRule converts one HEIC file at a time. Select each file and download the PNG individually. Batch conversion is coming soon.
