About HEIC to PNG Conversion
Why PNG?
PNG is lossless: every pixel decoded from your HEIC photo is stored exactly, with no extra compression artifacts. That makes PNG the safer choice when you plan to crop, retouch, or reuse the image in a design.
Where PNG works best
- Editing in Photoshop, GIMP, Figma, or Canva
- Screenshots and images containing text
- Images you plan to compress or convert again later
- Archiving a lossless copy of a photo
How to convert HEIC to PNG
- Drop one or more HEIC photos into the upload area
- Keep PNG as the output format
- Resize if needed to reduce the file size
- Click "Download PNG", or "Download all as ZIP" for several files
Keep file sizes in check
Modern iPhone photos are 12 megapixels or more, which produces large PNG files. If you only need the image for the web or a presentation, resizing to 2000 pixels wide or less shrinks the file considerably.
HEIC to PNG FAQ
Common questions about converting HEIC photos to PNG
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG when you want to edit the image further or need an exact, lossless copy. Choose JPG when you just want to share or upload a photo, since JPG files are much smaller.
Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?
Yes. Add up to 30 HEIC photos at once and download every PNG individually or all together as a ZIP file.
Why is my PNG so much larger than the HEIC file?
HEIC uses very efficient lossy compression, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. A 2 MB HEIC photo can easily become a 10 MB or larger PNG. Use the resize option to reduce the file size.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding and conversion happen entirely in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.
Does the PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Camera photos have no transparency, but if a HEIC image does contain transparent areas, the PNG keeps them.
Why does the first conversion take a few seconds?
Most browsers cannot read HEIC natively, so a HEIC decoder (about 3 MB) is downloaded the first time you add a HEIC photo. After that, conversions are faster.
