HEIC to PNG: Complete Conversion Guide
Photos from your iPhone or iPad are saved as HEIC, and many apps, websites and Windows PCs still refuse to open them. Our free converter turns HEIC into PNG in a few seconds, right inside your browser. It is 100% free, there is no sign up, and your photos are never uploaded.
No cost, ever
No trial, no credits, no paid tier and no watermark on your images.
No account needed

Nothing is uploaded
Conversion happens on your own device, so your photos never reach a server.

Full quality PNG
PNG is lossless, so the converted image keeps every pixel of the decoded photo.
Works everywhere
Windows, Mac, Android, Chromebook, iPhone and iPad. Just use a modern browser.
What Is a HEIC File?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads. It stores the same picture as a JPG in roughly half the space, which is why Apple adopted it. The catch is compatibility: older Windows versions, many Android apps, website upload forms, print shops and some editors cannot read it. HEIF files with the .heif extension work the same way and are supported too.
Why Convert HEIC to PNG?
Open your photos anywhere
A PNG opens in every browser, every operating system and every image editor. No codec packs, no extensions, no store downloads.
Keep full quality for editing
PNG is lossless, so you can edit and save it again and again without the quality slowly dropping the way it does with JPG.
Upload without errors
Job portals, marketplaces, school systems and social sites often reject HEIC. Converting first means your photo is accepted the first time.
Great for screenshots, graphics and text
PNG keeps sharp edges and flat colors crisp, which makes it the better choice for images that contain text, logos or interface elements.
HEIC vs PNG: Which Format Should You Use?
| Use HEIC when | Use PNG when |
|---|---|
| You want the smallest file on your phone | You need the photo to open on any device |
| You only share inside the Apple ecosystem | A website or app rejects HEIC |
| Storage space matters most | Quality must be preserved exactly |
| You keep originals for later | You will edit and re-save the image |
| You are storing everyday snapshots | The image has text, logos or sharp graphics |

No. All processing happens inside your browser on your own device. Your photos are never sent to us or to anyone else, which makes this a safe choice for personal and private pictures.
Will the image quality change?

Why is my PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?
