More Than Conversion - Experience Upgrade

We've solved the pain points of traditional online converters: slow processing, privacy risks, and severe quality compression. Here's the brand new solution.

Privacy Protection

Most online tools upload your photos to cloud servers for processing, posing security risks. We use WebAssembly technology - all conversions happen in your device's memory, and your data never leaves your browser.

Lightning Speed

No queuing, no waiting for uploads/downloads. Utilizing your device's CPU/GPU performance, we can process dozens of HD images per second.

Lossless Quality Output

PNG is a lossless compression format. Our algorithm ensures that pixel colors are preserved throughout the HEIC decoding to PNG encoding process.

Batch Processing Workflow

Even with 100 travel photos, we've got you covered. Support drag-and-drop folders, one-click ZIP download, maintaining original filename order.

In-depth Analysis of HEIC Format

What is .HEIC file?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default image format adopted by Apple on iPhone and iPad since iOS 11. Compared to traditional JPG, it saves about 50% of storage space while maintaining the same image quality, thanks to advanced HEVC (H.265) compression algorithm.

Why can't it open on Windows or Android?

Despite HEIC's advanced technology, due to patent licensing and system compatibility issues, it's not fully supported by Windows native photo viewer (older versions) or many Android phones. Additionally, older Photoshop versions and most web browsers (Chrome, Edge) cannot directly display HEIC images.

Advantages of Using This Tool for Conversion

  • Design Use Convert materials to PNG format for easy editing in Photoshop, Sketch, or Figma.
  • Web Publishing Websites and social media (like Weibo, WeChat Official Accounts) usually don't support HEIC uploads - PNG is the best alternative.
  • Document Insertion Word or PowerPoint may not recognize HEIC files. Converting ensures documents display properly on any computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is converting HEIC images free?

Yes, our HEIC to PNG tool is completely free with no hidden fees and no daily conversion limits.

Q: Will my photos be uploaded?

Absolutely not. We use browser-side JavaScript/WASM technology. Your photos never leave your device - the conversion happens entirely in your computer or phone's memory.

Q: How many images can I convert at once?

Theoretically unlimited. However, limited by browser memory, we recommend batch converting no more than 50-100 images at once for optimal performance.

Q: Will the converted PNG have transparent background?

HEIC itself doesn't support alpha channel transparency like PNG (except for some specially edited Live Photos). Usually, converted PNGs are complete rectangular images with quality identical to the original.
