About HEIC to PNG

HEIC to PNG gives you an exact, lossless copy of an iPhone photo in a format every editor opens. That matters when the picture is headed for Photoshop, Canva or a collage and will be saved several times along the way. A PNG doesn't pick up new compression artifacts with each save, the way a JPG does.

The photo is turned the right way up during conversion, and Keep photo info (EXIF) carries the date, camera and location over unless you switch it off. One thing to expect: a full-resolution photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than the HEIC. For sharing or emailing, HEIC to JPG gives you a much lighter file.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Lossless output

    Every pixel of the decoded photo is stored as it is, ready for retouching, cropping or layering.

  • Correct orientation

    Portrait shots and upside-down photos come out turned the right way.

  • EXIF on your terms

    Keep the date, camera and GPS location in the PNG, or leave them out with a single switch.

  • HEIF photos welcome

    Files ending in .heif, as some Android phones save them, are accepted as well.

FAQ

HEIC to PNG: questions and answers

Should I pick HEIC to PNG or HEIC to JPG?
Pick PNG when you'll edit the photo further or need an exact copy. Pick JPG for sharing, email and uploads, where a smaller file matters more.
Why is the file so large after HEIC to PNG?
HEIC is one of the most efficient photo formats, while PNG compresses without throwing anything away. A full-resolution photo as PNG is usually several times the size of the original HEIC. To share the finished picture, PNG to JPG makes a far smaller copy.
Does the PNG keep the photo's location?
Yes, if Keep photo info (EXIF) is on. Turn it off to leave out the location, the date and the camera details.
What are the size limits?
Free accounts can upload photos up to 50 MB and convert 2 a day; visitors get 2 conversions in total. VIP accepts files up to 1 GB and has no daily limit.
What happens to my photo after conversion?
The photo and the PNG are both deleted automatically one hour after the job. The upload is encrypted in transit, the conversion runs in its own isolated process, and nobody here looks at your pictures.
