Convert iPhone HEIC photos to PNG, a lossless format that every editor opens. Free, in a batch, and your photos never leave your device.
Camera data (EXIF, including GPS location) isn't copied into the converted files; photos are turned the right way up first. To make files smaller as well, use the image compressor.
PNG saves every pixel exactly, so it's a good choice when you'll keep editing a photo, cut it out, or place it in a design. The files are much larger than JPG, so for sharing or email a JPG is usually better. HEIC photos are opened by Safari itself, or by a decoder that runs on your device in other browsers.
No. The converting happens in your browser, on your own device, so the pictures never reach a server.
PNG keeps every pixel exactly. For a detailed photo that takes far more space than JPG or HEIC, which throw away detail the eye doesn't notice.
No. A photo has no transparent areas, so the PNG looks exactly like the original. You can remove the background afterwards in Image Studio.
No. Camera details (EXIF), including the GPS location many phones save, aren't copied into the converted files. Photos are turned the right way up first, so nothing ends up sideways.
