Guide

What this tool is for

HEIC to PNG conversion creates lossless copies of iPhone photos in the widely compatible PNG format. PNG preserves every pixel exactly, supports transparency, and is accepted by virtually every image editing application and online service. While HEIC files are smaller, converting to PNG ensures you can edit, share, and upload your photos without format compatibility issues. Note that PNG files will be significantly larger than the original HEIC, as PNG does not use HEIC efficient compression.

Use this tool when you need a lossless, universally compatible PNG copy of an HEIC photo for editing, archiving, or use in applications that do not support HEIC.

How to use this tool

A short browser-side flow that keeps the file on the current device.

Select the HEIC file from your iPhone, iPad, or computer and upload it to the browser-based tool.
Wait for the browser to decode the HEIC image and show a local preview for verification.
Preview the image to confirm all colors and details are accurately represented in the PNG output.

Output and format notes

Details that help you avoid format or quality mistakes before export.

PNG output is lossless, so the visual quality is preserved, but the file size will be larger than the original HEIC.
HEIC decoding in the browser is CPU-intensive and may take a few seconds for large iPhone photos and screenshots.
Live Photo motion data and depth maps are not preserved in the PNG output; only the still image is converted.

HEIC to PNG vs. nearby tools

The target format depends on whether you prioritize quality, size, or compatibility.

Use HEIC to JPG when you need smaller files for sharing and do not need lossless quality
Use HEIC to WebP when you want a modern compressed format for web delivery
Use Compress PNG after conversion if the PNG file is too large for your needs

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will the PNG file be larger than the HEIC?

Yes. HEIC is more efficient at compression. PNG is lossless, so it will produce a larger file while preserving perfect quality.

Does this tool preserve all HEIC metadata?

No. Live Photo motion, depth maps, and some HDR metadata are not preserved in the PNG output.

Is the conversion done locally?

Yes. The entire conversion runs in your browser. Your HEIC files are never uploaded to any server.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?

This tool is designed for one-at-a-time conversion with preview. For batch processing, use a desktop application.

Why does conversion take longer than other formats?

HEIC decoding is more complex than JPEG or PNG. Large HEIC images require more CPU time to decode in the browser.

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?

Choose PNG for maximum quality and editing. Choose JPG for smaller files and everyday sharing.

Will the PNG preserve all colors from my iPhone photo?

Yes. PNG is lossless, so all color information is preserved. HDR and wide-gamut colors may be mapped to standard sRGB.
