Turn iPhone HEIC photos into lossless PNGs

No — PNG is a lossless format, so there is no quality slider to tune; the tool always produces a bit-faithful decode of the HEIC pixels at full resolution. If you want a smaller file with an adjustable quality setting instead, use the HEIC to JPG converter, which exposes a 20–100% quality slider.

Switch the mode toggle from "Single file" to "Batch" above the upload area. Batch is a Premium feature: drop multiple HEIC/HEIF files, each is converted to PNG with the same lossless settings, and they're packaged into a single ZIP you download in one click.

This is expected, not a bug. HEIC uses heavy modern compression while PNG is lossless and keeps every pixel bit-exact, so file sizes typically grow 3–6x on the same photo. Choose PNG when you need pixel-perfect quality for editing or print; choose the HEIC to JPG tool if file size matters more.

For one or two photos, single-file mode gives an in-tool preview so you can review each result before downloading. For a whole camera roll or event folder, switch to Batch mode (Premium) — it applies the same lossless PNG conversion to every file and hands back one ZIP, which is far faster than converting file by file.

Browsers can't natively decode HEIC/HEIF images, so unlike JPG or PNG based tools, this converter can't render your source photo on screen — you'll see the filename and an upload icon in its place instead. As soon as the lossless PNG comes back from the server (usually under a second), that becomes the preview you see and can download, so you're always previewing the actual output rather than an unrenderable source file.

Yes — once you're in Batch mode, each queued HEIC/HEIF file shows as a pill with its own small X button; click it to drop just that one file from the queue without touching the rest. If you want to start fresh, use the 'Clear all' button above the file list to empty the entire queue in one click, then drag in a new set of files.

Both. HEIF is the container format and HEIC is Apple's most common variant of it; the converter accepts .heic and .heif files interchangeably and produces the same lossless PNG from either. If your camera or phone saved a photo with a .heif extension, drop it in exactly as you would a HEIC — no separate HEIF to PNG tool is needed.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 files on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every file is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 files on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
