Turn HEIF photos from Android phones, cameras and iPhones into lossless PNG files with transparency kept - for smaller photos pick HEIF to JPG.
Want an icon from the PNG? Drop it into the PNG to ICO converter.
Samsung, Google Pixel and many cameras can save photos as HEIF, and iPhones use the same container.
PNG is lossless, so it is the safest copy for editing, screenshots and graphics - every program reads it.
Just want a quick look first? Open it in the HEIC Viewer.

Bursts and collections show every picture under the preview. The first one is ticked; tick any others and each becomes its own PNG.
Yes. Open this page in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, pick the photos from your gallery and save the PNG to your phone - nothing is uploaded.
