HEIC Converter

HEIC to PNG converter

Convert HEIC to PNG when you need a lossless image for editing, design work or screenshots. Add HEIC or HEIF files from your iPhone, iPad or camera and download PNG files that keep every pixel. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Your files never leave your device: they are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

How it works

  1. 1Add your HEIC or HEIF files by dropping them on the box above, choosing them or pasting them.
  2. 2Keep PNG selected. The date and camera information stay in the files; untick “Keep photo details” to remove them.
  3. 3Download each PNG, or all of them at once as a ZIP file.

When PNG is better than JPG

PNG is lossless: every edit and every save keeps the image exactly as it is. That makes it the right choice for images you will edit further, for graphics and screenshots with sharp text, and for images with transparent areas, which JPG cannot store.

The trade-off is size. A PNG of a 12-megapixel photo is often 15 to 25 MB, several times larger than the HEIC. For sharing photos, JPG is usually the better choice.

Transparency and color accuracy

Some HEIC images, such as stickers and cut-outs made on an iPhone, have a transparent background. The PNG keeps that transparency. The photo’s color profile is embedded as well, so wide-gamut Display P3 colors are shown correctly in editors and browsers.

Rotation is applied during the conversion, so portrait photos come out upright in every program.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting HEIC to PNG free?

Yes. Up to 20 files of up to 50 MB each per batch are free. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

Does PNG lose any quality?

No. PNG is lossless, so the result holds exactly the pixels decoded from the HEIC file, at full resolution.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses modern video compression, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. Large files are the price of perfect quality; choose JPG on the HEIC to JPG page if you need small files.

Are my files private?

Yes. The conversion happens in your browser and your files are never uploaded to a server.

Can I convert HEIF files from other cameras?

Yes. HEIF files from Android phones and cameras that use HEVC compression convert the same way as iPhone HEIC files.
