HEIC to PNG Converter
PNG is the format to reach for when you need pixel-perfect quality or transparency — logos, screenshots, graphics with flat colors, or any photo you plan to edit further. This converter decodes your HEIC photo locally and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG, without ever sending the file to a server.
Your photos never leave your device. Open DevTools → Network and convert a photo — you’ll see zero uploads. Learn how to verify this.
When to use HEIC to PNG
- You need a lossless copy of a HEIC photo with zero compression artifacts
- You are preparing an image for further editing where quality loss would compound
- The target app or design tool requires PNG specifically
- You want to preserve transparency from a HEIC image that has an alpha channel

| Aspect | HEIC | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | HEVC (lossy, small) | Lossless (larger files) |
| Transparency | Supported (rare in camera photos) | Supported |
| Best for | Photos | Graphics, screenshots, editing intermediates |

Frequently asked questions
Why choose PNG instead of JPG when converting HEIC?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as decoded with no additional compression loss, which matters if you will edit the image further or need transparency. For everyday sharing, JPG or WebP produce much smaller files at visually similar quality.
Will the PNG file be much bigger than the original HEIC?
Usually yes for photographic images, since HEIC uses efficient HEVC compression and PNG is lossless. A 3–5 MB HEIC photo can become a 10–20 MB PNG. Use JPG or WebP if file size matters more than pixel-perfect fidelity.
Does the converted PNG include transparency?
If the source HEIC has an alpha channel, it is preserved. Most iPhone camera photos do not have transparency, so the output will simply be fully opaque.
Is this HEIC to PNG converter really free?
Yes. Because conversion runs on your device instead of our servers, there is no cost to us per conversion, so there is no daily limit and no charge for it. Very large batches depend on how much memory your device has.
Do you see or store my photos?
No. Nothing is uploaded. Everything happens locally in your browser tab, which you can confirm in your browser’s Network tab.
