Drop HEIC (HEIF) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the PNG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The HEIC to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your photos are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
PNG is the right target when a HEIC needs to go into a design tool, a document or a workflow that must not add compression artefacts, or when the image has transparency you want to keep. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so nothing more is lost after the HEIC is decoded. The cost is size: a 12-megapixel photo as PNG is commonly 15 to 25 MB, many times the HEIC. If you only need the photo to open everywhere, JPG is the smaller choice.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.
Most browsers other than Safari cannot read HEIC themselves, so a HEIC decoder of under 1 MB is downloaded the first time and kept in the browser cache. Camera metadata such as EXIF and GPS location is not copied into the PNG, and the photo's rotation is applied so it stays upright.
HEIC is what iPhones have saved photos as since iOS 11 in 2017. It uses the HEVC video codec to store a photo in roughly half the space of a JPG. Outside Apple's own apps, support is patchy: Windows needs an extension and most websites refuse it.

HEIC converterPNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

JPG for ordinary photos you want to share or upload: it is far smaller. PNG when you need exact pixels for editing, or when the picture is a screenshot or graphic rather than a photograph.
No. The HEIC to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No further quality is lost: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. It cannot restore what HEIC compression already discarded, and the file will be larger.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the HEIC file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.
Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
