Description
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built heic2png after dealing with a frustrating situation one too many times: trying to share iPhone photos with family and friends, only to find they won't open on Windows PCs.
You might think "just send them through WhatsApp or iMessage - they auto-convert." True, but I learned the hard way that those apps compress photos to save bandwidth. The quality loss was noticeable - soft details, washed out colors.
If you actually care about preserving image quality (for printing, portfolios, or archiving), you need lossless conversion. Not the compressed versions messaging apps give you.
And honestly? I didn't trust uploading personal photos to random converter websites. Who knows what they do with your data. So I built a tool that runs 100% in your browser.
🔒 HOW IT WORKS
Everything happens locally using WebAssembly. Your photos NEVER leave your device. No server uploads, no data collection. Works offline after first load. Lossless PNG output - 100% quality preserved.
⚡ KEY FEATURES
• Instant conversion - Most images in under 1 second
• Batch processing - Up to 10 files at once
• ZIP download - Get all files in one click
• 100% free & unlimited - No watermarks, no limits
• No registration - Just open and convert
🎯 PERFECT FOR
• Printing photos without quality loss (messaging apps compress images to 50-70% quality)
• Opening HEIC files on Windows (File Explorer and Office don't support HEIC natively)
• Uploading to websites (WordPress, Medium, Shopify, Squarespace don't accept HEIC)
• Anyone who values privacy and doesn't want to upload personal photos to unknown servers
