How to convert HEIC to PSD
- Drop your HEIC files on the box above, or click it to choose them (up to 30 at once).
- Press Convert. Each file is processed on your device and shows its old and new size.
- Download the files one by one or take them all as a ZIP.
What changes when you convert HEIC to PSD
- Every decoded pixel is written exactly — PSD is lossless here. Converting cannot restore detail HEIC compression already discarded; it only stops further loss.
- Transparency is kept.
- Camera details and GPS location (EXIF) are not copied into the new file. Photo orientation is applied to the pixels first, so the result is the right way up.
- Expect a much larger file: PSD here is uncompressed, about width × height × 4 bytes — roughly 48 MB for a 12-megapixel photo.
About HEIC and PSD files
HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in by default. It is roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG, but Windows, Android and most websites cannot open it without extra software.
PSD is Photoshop’s own format. The file written here is a single flattened image (no layers can be created from a flat picture); transparency, if any, becomes the image’s alpha channel. Photoshop, GIMP and Photopea open it. It is a good choice for starting an edit in Photoshop or a tool that asks for a .psd.
Limits
Up to 30 files of 25 MB each per batch and images up to 50 megapixels — beyond that browsers run out of memory, so the tool says so instead of producing a broken file. HEIC decoding uses libheif in the background and can take a few seconds per photo on a phone. Files that are not images, or are damaged, are rejected with the reason.
