Convert HEIC to PNG Online for Free
Most of the time, converting an iPhone HEIC photo means going to JPG — but if you're pulling that photo into design software, layering it into a graphic, or need a lossless copy for further editing, PNG is the better landing format. Unlike JPG, PNG won't introduce any additional compression artifacts on top of what's already baked into the HEIC, which matters if the image is going through several more rounds of editing.

Convert HEIC to PNG Online for Free
Most of the time, converting an iPhone HEIC photo means going to JPG — but if you're pulling that photo into design software, layering it into a graphic, or need a lossless copy for further editing, PNG is the better landing format. Unlike JPG, PNG won't introduce any additional compression artifacts on top of what's already baked into the HEIC, which matters if the image is going through several more rounds of editing.
This converter decodes your HEIC or HEIF file directly in your browser using a WebAssembly-based decoder, then re-encodes it as a standard PNG — no installation, no uploading, no waiting on a server. The whole process typically takes a second or two per photo, even for the large HEIC files that modern iPhones produce.
Keep in mind HEIC photos themselves don't carry transparency (they're photos, not graphics), so the resulting PNG will be fully opaque just like the source — the benefit here is the lossless PNG encoding and broad software compatibility, not added transparency. Drop in one photo or a whole batch exported from your Photos app; each converts independently and, for multiple files, everything is bundled into a single zip download.
Common questions
PNG is lossless, so it won't add any further compression artifacts on top of your photo — useful if you're planning to edit, layer, or re-save the image multiple times. For simple viewing and sharing, JPG is usually the more practical choice.
No — HEIC photos from your camera don't contain transparency data, so the converted PNG will be fully opaque, just like the original photo.
Yes, typically. HEIC compresses very efficiently, while PNG prioritizes lossless quality over small file size, so expect the PNG to be noticeably larger — this is expected, not an error.
Yes — HEIF and HEIC are closely related container formats, and this tool handles both, decoding either one and producing a standard PNG output.
Yes — the entire decode-and-convert process runs locally in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to any server, so it stays on your device throughout.
