HEIC to PNG Converter - Free Online Tool

A HEIC to PNG converter transforms Apple's High Efficiency Image Format (HEIC/HEIF) into PNG, a lossless format that preserves every pixel perfectly. HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11, offering great compression but limited compatibility. PNG is universally supported and maintains transparency, making it ideal for graphics, screenshots, and images that need editing. This tool processes your images entirely in your browser.

1. Upload your HEIC file: Drag and drop or click to select a HEIC/HEIF image from your device. Files up to 10MB are supported.
2. Preview the conversion: See your image displayed before downloading.
3. Download your PNG: Click the download button to save the converted image instantly to your device.

• Lossless quality: PNG preserves all image data without compression artifacts, unlike JPG.
• Transparency support: Keep transparent backgrounds intact when converting HEIC images with alpha channels.
• Perfect for editing: PNG files don't degrade when opened and saved repeatedly in image editors.

Use case 1: Preserve transparency from iPhone screenshots

iPhone screenshots with transparent elements (like widgets) save as HEIC. Convert to PNG to maintain that transparency for design work.

Use case 2: Prepare images for professional editing

When you need to edit iPhone photos in Photoshop, GIMP, or other editors, PNG ensures no quality loss during the editing process.

Use case 3: Archive photos in lossless format

Convert precious HEIC memories to PNG for long-term archival where quality preservation matters more than file size.

• File size: HEIC is smaller; PNG files are larger due to lossless compression.
• Quality loss: HEIC has minimal loss; PNG preserves everything.
• Transparency: Both formats support transparent backgrounds.
• Compatibility: HEIC works on Apple devices and modern browsers; PNG works everywhere.
• Best for: HEIC excels at storage efficiency; PNG is ideal for editing, graphics, and screenshots.

File won't upload

Ensure the file extension is .heic or .heif. Some file managers hide extensions—check the file properties to confirm the format.

Output file is very large

PNG is a lossless format, so files are larger than HEIC or JPG. For web use where file size matters, consider HEIC to JPG or HEIC to WebP.

Colors look slightly different

This can occur with HEIC files using wide color gamut (P3). The tool converts to standard sRGB for maximum compatibility.

• Use HEIC to PNG when transparency matters or when you'll edit the image further.
• For sharing photos online, HEIC to JPG produces smaller files.
• PNG works best for screenshots, logos, and graphics with sharp edges or text.
• Keep original HEIC files as they're more storage-efficient for backups.

• Smaller files for photos with HEIC to JPG.
• Modern compression with HEIC to WebP.
• Convert PNG to other formats with PNG to JPG or PNG to WebP.
• Transform vector graphics with SVG to PNG.
