How to convert HEIC to PNG
Drag and drop your HEIC files into the upload zone, or click to browse and select them from your device.
Click Convert to PNG. The conversion runs in your browser when supported, with secure server fallback if needed.
Download each converted PNG file individually, or use Download all after multiple files finish.
HEIC and PNG - what's the difference?
PNG: Choose PNG when you need lossless quality, transparency support, or the image is going into a design workflow. JPG: Choose JPG instead when smaller file size and broad compatibility are the main priorities and you do not need transparency.
Why People Convert HEIC to PNG
Convert HEIC files to PNG online for free. PNG is a lossless, widely supported format that opens in every image editor, app, and platform — making it a reliable output when HEIC compatibility is the problem.
HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads because it stores high-quality images at smaller file sizes. But HEIC is not supported everywhere — many Windows applications, online services, and older software cannot open HEIC files directly. PNG is universally supported, making it the go-to format when you need HEIC photos to work in more places.
PNG is also lossless, so converting HEIC to PNG preserves full visual quality for editing, background removal, or use as a design asset. If file size is a concern, JPG is a smaller alternative that also has broad compatibility.
Common situations where this helps
iPhone photos in HEIC format need to be uploaded to a website, form, or platform that does not accept HEIC.
HEIC photos need to be opened or edited in a Windows application or design tool that does not support HEIC.
Apple device photos need to be shared with someone on Windows or Android whose software cannot open HEIC.
An HEIC photo needs to be used as a design asset, background, or layer in a tool that works better with PNG.
Common problems and fixes
The uploaded HEIC file is rejected or not processed.
HEIC conversion requires browser or server-side HEIC decoding support. If the file is rejected, try a different browser — Chrome and Edge handle HEIC decoding more reliably than some other browsers.
The PNG output is much larger than the original HEIC.
This is expected. HEIC uses very efficient compression; PNG is lossless and stores all image data without lossy compression. A 3 MB HEIC photo can become 10–15 MB as PNG.
The photo orientation is wrong in the PNG output.
HEIC stores orientation in metadata. Some converters apply the orientation; others do not. If the photo is rotated, rotate it manually after converting.
