HEIC to PNG Converter: Convert HEIC photos to lossless PNG files. Input: HEIC, HEIF, image files and values you enter. Output: Results shown on the page and a downloaded file. Privacy: Runs in your browser: inputs and files stay on your device and are not uploaded.
How to convert HEIC to PNG
- Drop one or more HEIC or HEIF photos on the box.
- PNG is already selected. Each photo is decoded and saved as a lossless PNG at full resolution.
- Download the files one by one, or all at once as a ZIP.
When PNG is the right choice
PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression, so it is the format to choose when you plan to edit the image further, cut out the background, overlay text and graphics, or need a pixel-perfect copy for design work. It is also accepted by every editor, website and operating system. The trade-off is size: in our test, three 12-megapixel HEIC photos of about 1 MB each became PNGs of 8–11 MB (the PNG is re-packed losslessly to keep it small, which takes a few seconds per photo); busier photos give larger files. For sharing, emailing or uploading, convert HEIC to JPG instead.
The page loads an open-source HEIC decoder (libheif, compiled to WebAssembly) the first time you convert a photo. Runs in your browser. Your files are not uploaded. Images are rotated the right way up and keep their colour profile and EXIF details such as the date taken; location (GPS) is removed unless you untick Remove location (GPS).
FAQ
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC uses modern lossy compression; PNG is lossless. Use JPG if file size matters.
Does PNG keep transparency from HEIC?
Yes, if the HEIC image has an alpha channel. Most camera photos do not.
Can I convert many photos at once?
Yes. Drop them all and download a ZIP.
