How to Convert HEIC to PNG
- 1
Drag one or more HEIC photos into the dropzone above, or click to browse — you can select a full camera roll batch and all files process simultaneously without waiting for each other.
- 2
Your browser decodes each HEIC file and re-encodes the raw pixel data as a lossless PNG using a WebAssembly decoder running entirely inside this tab. No network request is made at any point.
- 3
Once each file shows Done, download PNGs individually or click Download All — every pixel is preserved exactly as it was in the original HEIC, ready for Photoshop, Figma, printing, or any editor that expects lossless input.
Why Convert HEIC to PNG
HEIC keeps iPhone photo storage efficient, but lossless fidelity is what matters when a photo is going into a design workflow, a print job, or an editor that will run multiple save cycles. JPG recompresses every time you save, which gradually degrades fine detail. PNG is lossless by definition — no matter how many times you open, edit, and re-export it, the pixel data never degrades. That makes HEIC to PNG the right conversion whenever quality preservation matters more than file size.
PNG also has something JPG fundamentally lacks: full alpha channel transparency. If your HEIC image contains any semi-transparent regions — common in screenshots of apps with overlapping UI layers — converting to PNG carries that transparency through intact. JPG would fill those regions with a white or colored background, destroying the transparency entirely.
The conversion runs entirely inside your browser tab using a WebAssembly HEIC decoder. Your photos are never transmitted to a server — the decoded image is written directly to a PNG file on your device. Use HEIC to JPG instead if you need a smaller file for sharing or email; choose PNG when you need pixel-perfect fidelity, transparency support, or a file that will survive repeated edits.
HEIC vs PNG: Format Comparison
| Feature | HEIC | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Developed By | Apple / MPEG | PNG Development Group |
| Introduced | 2017 (iOS 11) | 1996 |
| Best For | iPhone photo storage | Lossless editing, graphics, transparency |
| Typical File Size | Small (≈50% of JPG) | Large (2–4× JPG) |
| Image Quality | Excellent (lossy) | Lossless — pixel-perfect |
| Transparency Support | Limited | Full alpha channel |
| Browser Support | Safari only (native) | All browsers |
| OS Support | Apple native; limited elsewhere | All platforms |
| Editing Software Support | Limited | Universal |
| Web Publishing | Poor | Good (for graphics/logos) |
| Multiple Saves Without Quality Loss | No | Yes |
| Free to Use | Yes | Yes |
PNG is the go-to format when you need lossless quality or transparency support. Converting HEIC to PNG is ideal for graphics, logos, and screenshots where every pixel needs to be preserved exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a HEIC photo to PNG?
Drag one or more HEIC files into the dropzone above, or click it to browse and select them — conversion starts automatically. Once a file shows as Done, download it individually or click Download All to save the whole batch.
Is this HEIC to PNG converter free?
Yes, it's completely free to use, with no limit on the number of files and no signup required.
Does this work on Windows and Mac?
Yes — since the converter runs entirely in your web browser, it works the same way on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile, with no software to install.
Does converting HEIC to PNG keep the original quality and metadata?
PNG is lossless, so every pixel from the original photo comes through unchanged. However, the conversion decodes and re-encodes the image, which means metadata like GPS location, date taken, and camera model is not carried over to the PNG file.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere when I convert it?
No. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser tab — your HEIC file is decoded and the PNG is created on your own device, and nothing is ever sent to a server.
