    Questions

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.

    Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

    HEIC uses the same kind of compression as modern video and throws away detail you are unlikely to notice. PNG is lossless and keeps every pixel, so a 2 MB HEIC often becomes a 10 to 20 MB PNG. If you need small files for sharing, JPG is usually a better choice. The HEIC to JPG converter works the same way.

    Does the PNG keep my photo’s location and date?

    No. Only the image itself is converted. EXIF details such as GPS location, camera model and the date taken are left out of the PNG. Your original HEIC file is not changed.

    What about Live Photos, portraits and HDR?

    The still photo is converted. The short video of a Live Photo is a separate file and is not included. For Portrait photos you get the main image stored in the file; the separate depth information is not kept. For HDR photos you get the standard version, because PNG has no way to store the extra brightness information.

    My iPhone photo shows up as a JPEG. What happened?

    iPhones often convert photos to JPEG automatically when they are shared, emailed or picked from the photo library. If that happens you already have a JPEG and do not need this converter. To get the original HEIC, save the photo to the Files app first, or AirDrop it to a Mac.

    How many photos can I convert at once?

    Up to 20 files per batch, up to 50 MB each and 200 MB in total. Photos are converted one after another, and each one can be downloaded as soon as it is ready. Clear the list to start another batch.

    Very large images are refused to keep your browser from running out of memory: above 100 megapixels on computers and 50 megapixels on phones and tablets. That still covers 48 MP iPhone photos.
