HEIF to PNG is an important image conversion process that allows non-iPhone users to view HEIF (HEIC) images on devices running Mac, Windows, Android, Linux, and other operating systems. Although macOS 10.13 High Sierra and later versions, as well as Windows 10 October 2018 update and later versions, natively support the HEIF format, older versions of these operating systems need third-party tools just to view them. For that reason, we've shown you two methods to convert HEIF to PNG so your iPhone shots can be shared widely with others no matter what device or what OS they're using. We'll show you how to do that on your Mac computer or laptop.
The software we'll be using is PDFelement, a robust PDF editor with a powerful HEIF to PNG converter feature and a wide range of other PDF tools. To convert HEIF to PNG, all you need to do is transfer the iOS files to your Mac including macOS 11 and then proceed with the steps given below:
Install PDFelement on your computer or laptop running macOS 10.11 or higher and launch the program.
Go to the "File" menu at the top and then go to "New" and select the option called "PDF from File…".
This will open a Finder window, where you can select your HEIF files for conversion to PNG. Click "Open" when you've chosen the files.
The files will now open in separate tabs in PDFelement as individual PDF files. For each one, click on "File" and then on "Export To" → "Image" → "PNG (.png)".
Hit "Save" when prompted by the Finder window and your output PNG file will be stored in the chosen folder location.
This method is straightforward and there's no need for any expertise or prior experience in order to finish this task successfully. PDFelement does it all for you. Moreover, if you're a professional photographer or an aspiring amateur, you'll be pleased to know that all your EXIF metadata will be retained during the HEIF to PNG conversion.
While the first method is certainly simple enough, there's an even simpler method to convert HEIF to PNG or any other image format of your choosing. This method is described below:
Drag the HEIF file into the program interface and drop it there.
The file will now open in PDF format; save it by going to "File" → "Save".
Now, go to the "Tool" section in the top menu panel and select "PDF Converter" under the "Batch Process" section. This will open a PDF Converter window.
In the new window, add the PDF file you just created from HEIF. Select "To Image" in the Format section on the right-side panel and then "PNG (.png)" under that. Hit "Apply" when you're done. If you need to add more images for conversion, you can use the "Add" button to import more HEIF files before clicking on "Apply".
You're all done! That's how easy it is to convert HEIC and HEIF to PNG, JPG, and other image formats with PDFelement. Along with being a fast and reliable HEIF to PNG converter, PDFelement also offers some impressive PDF and document management features, as listed in the next section.
