HEIC to PNG Converter
Convert iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos to PNG in your browser. Batch conversion, lossless output, transparency preserved, and files never leave your device.
What Is a HEIC to PNG Converter?
A HEIC to PNG converter turns Apple HEIC and HEIF photos into PNG files that work everywhere on the web. iPhones save photos as HEIC by default because the format is smaller, but many websites, CMS platforms, design apps, and older devices cannot open HEIC files. PNG is widely supported and preserves image detail without JPEG compression artifacts.
How to Convert HEIC to PNG
- Upload one or more HEIC/HEIF files, or drag them into the upload area.
- Click Convert to PNG to process the files in your browser.
- Preview each PNG result on a checkerboard background.
- Download files individually or use Download All.
Why Convert HEIC to PNG?
PNG is a strong choice when you need lossless output, transparency support, or compatibility with tools that reject HEIC uploads. Designers, developers, and content teams often convert iPhone screenshots and product photos to PNG before adding them to Figma, Canva, WordPress, Slack, or custom web apps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my HEIC photos uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your images are processed on your device and are not sent to our servers.
Will PNG files be larger than HEIC files?
Often yes. HEIC is optimized for storage, while PNG prioritizes compatibility and lossless quality. The tool shows the size difference for each converted file so you can decide whether PNG is right for your use case.
Does this tool support HEIF files too?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF are closely related formats, and both can be converted to PNG here.
Can I convert multiple iPhone photos at once?
Yes. Select or drag multiple HEIC files, convert them in one batch, and download all PNG results together.
When should I choose PNG instead of JPG?
Choose PNG when you need lossless quality, crisp UI screenshots, graphics with text, or transparency. Choose JPG when file size matters more than perfect fidelity.
Why won't my website accept HEIC uploads?
Many platforms only accept JPG or PNG because browser and server support for HEIC is still limited. Converting to PNG removes that compatibility barrier.
