Convert HEIC to PNG

Decode iPhone HEIC photos straight to lossless PNG — no install, no upload, batch supported.

Target format

"Auto" re-encodes in the original format; BMP, GIF and ICO have no modern counterpart and are normalized to PNG.

Quality

Applies to JPG, WebP and AVIF output. Around 80% is the sweet spot between size and fidelity.

PNG is lossless and ignores the quality slider — the resulting file size is determined by the image content itself.

New settings apply to the whole batch only after you click here.

Every conversion happens inside your browser. Images are never uploaded to any server.

When PNG is the better target than JPG

PNG is lossless: the pixels that come out of the HEIC decoder are stored exactly as they are. That matters when the file is an intermediate step — an image you will crop, retouch, composite or run OCR on — because no second lossy pass is added.

The cost is size. A 12 MP photo that would be about 3 MB as JPEG is typically 15–25 MB as PNG, so PNG is a poor choice for email attachments or website assets. Use it for editing and archiving, then export JPEG or WebP for delivery.

HEIC itself rarely carries an alpha channel, so PNG here is about fidelity rather than transparency: alpha survives if the source had it, and it is not flattened the way JPEG forces it to be.

How to convert HEIC to PNG

Add HEIC photos

Drop .heic/.heif files or a folder. The output format is already fixed to PNG.

Convert

The decoder downloads once on the first file; every photo after that is decoded and re-encoded locally.

Download

PNG files are large, so the ZIP download is usually more convenient for a batch.

Questions about this task

Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?

No. The HEIC decode is lossless and PNG stores the resulting pixels exactly. The only loss happened when the iPhone created the HEIC.

Why is my PNG so much larger than the HEIC?

HEVC compresses photos far more aggressively than PNG. A 5–10× increase over the original HEIC is normal and inherent to a lossless format, not a problem with the conversion.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes — if the source has an alpha channel it is preserved. Most iPhone photos do not, so in practice the difference from JPG is fidelity, not transparency.
