Frequently asked questions
Does HEIC to PNG lose quality?
No — PNG is lossless, so once the HEIC is decoded, no further quality is lost saving it as PNG.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC compresses very efficiently; PNG cannot match that, so a larger file after conversion is normal.
Do I need to install anything?
No software and no sign-up. The HEIC-to-PNG converter runs in your web browser, so it works on any device — Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone — straight from this page.
Can I convert more than one file at once?
Yes. Drop in several images and they are converted together; a single file downloads directly, while a batch arrives as a ZIP.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your images never leave your device.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
Convert HEIC to PNG when you need a lossless file for editing, or a format that every image tool can open.
Understanding the two formats
HEIC — HEIC. HEIC is the high-efficiency format Apple adopted in 2017; it is what iPhones save by default. It stores a photo at roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG at similar quality and can hold extras like depth data. The catch is compatibility: no mainstream browser can display HEIC, and many websites, forms and Windows apps reject it — which is why iPhone users so often need to convert it.
PNG — PNG. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it reproduces every pixel exactly with no compression artefacts. That makes it the right choice for screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and anything with crisp edges or flat colour, and it fully supports transparency. The trade-off is size: a photograph saved as PNG can be several times larger than the same image as JPG, so PNG is not suited to camera photos you need to keep small.
What to expect from the conversion
The output preserves the photo's appearance losslessly from the decoded HEIC; file size will typically be larger than an equivalent JPG.
How to convert HEIC to PNG
Drop your HEIC file into the box above (or click to browse and select it), and the tool converts it to PNG right away. The PNG output is already selected for you, so you can simply download the result. Everything happens on your own device — nothing is uploaded, which means even private or sensitive images stay entirely with you.
Need a different conversion, or want to process a batch? The full image converter handles JPG, PNG and WebP together, and you can pair it with the compressor if the result also needs to hit a size limit.
