What is HEIC?
HEIC keeps your photos small because it uses HEVC compression — the format modern iPhones shoot by default, storing a high-quality image in a fraction of the space a JPG would take.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to PNG?
Drop your .heic files here and click Convert. Decoding and PNG encoding both happen in your browser.
Is this HEIC to PNG converter free?
Yes — free, no signup, no watermark, no daily limit.
Do I have to upload my files?
No. The page includes a HEIC decoder that runs on your device. Open developer tools, watch the Network tab, and convert a file — no upload request appears.
Are my photos private?
Yes. They never leave your device, so there is nothing for us to store or lose.
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or to JPG?
It depends on what you’ll do next. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, but the file gets much larger. JPG is far smaller and opens everywhere, but it’s lossy and drops transparency. For photos you’ll edit, use PNG. For photos you’ll send or post, use JPG.
Does converting lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so the pixels are exactly what the HEIC decoded to — nothing further is thrown away. That said, the HEIC itself was already compressed at capture, so this conversion can’t restore detail the camera never stored.
Will the PNG be much bigger?
Yes, usually several times larger than the HEIC. That’s the price of a lossless format. If file size matters, convert to JPG instead.
Does it preserve transparency?
Yes, PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas survive the conversion.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and grab the PNGs together as a ZIP — a single file downloads on its own.
Does it work on Windows, and is there a watermark?
It runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, and needs no HEVC codec install. There is no watermark and no signup.
HEIC vs PNG — and when to convert
Here is what each format is for, and when converting HEIC photos to PNG is the right move.
What is PNG?
PNG takes the opposite approach: it stores the image without discarding data and supports an alpha channel, so nothing is thrown away and transparency survives.
When you need it
Convert HEIC to PNG when you plan to edit the photo further, when you need transparency preserved, or when a print or design pipeline asks for PNG rather than JPG.
