This tool allows you to convert your HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) files, commonly used by Apple iPhones and other modern devices, into the high-quality, lossless PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. HEIC files offer excellent image quality at smaller file sizes, but PNG is often preferred for its lossless compression and wide support for transparency. Our HEIC to PNG converter ensures your images retain maximum quality, processed securely within your browser.
Converting HEIC to PNG is ideal when you need to ensure no quality is lost from the original HEIC file, or when you need to work with transparency in a widely supported format.
Converting HEIC images to PNG format is ideal when image quality and transparency are paramount. While HEIC offers excellent compression, PNG is a lossless format that ensures no data is lost during compression, making it perfect for graphics, images with text, or photos where maintaining the original fidelity is crucial.
This tool makes it simple to convert your HEIC files to high-quality PNGs, ensuring your images are suitable for a wide range of applications where quality and data integrity are key. The conversion is done with a focus on maintaining the highest visual fidelity.
iPhone Users: While iPhones capture in HEIC by default for efficiency, you can use various apps or built-in sharing options that might convert to other formats, though direct PNG output might be less common than JPG.
Mac Users: The Preview app on macOS can export HEIC files to PNG format. Select File > Export and choose PNG as the format.
Windows Users: Third-party image editing software or converters are typically needed to convert HEIC to PNG on Windows if you don't use an online tool like ours.
Solution: No. PNG is a lossless format. When converting HEIC to PNG using our tool, the aim is to preserve the maximum possible quality from the original HEIC file. The heic2any library attempts to decode the HEIC and re-encode it as PNG without further lossy compression.
Solution: Often, yes. Because PNG is lossless and HEIC uses very efficient (though typically lossy for photos) compression, the resulting PNG file might be larger than the original HEIC. This is the trade-off for ensuring no quality degradation and gaining wider compatibility for lossless images.
Solution: If the original HEIC file contains an alpha channel (transparency), heic2any and the subsequent PNG conversion will attempt to preserve it. PNG has excellent support for transparency.
Solution: Choose PNG if your priority is maintaining the absolute best image quality without any loss, or if you need to preserve transparency. JPG is better if your main concern is smaller file size for photographs and universal compatibility where some quality loss is acceptable.
Your privacy is our top priority when converting HEIC to PNG:
This approach makes our converter especially suitable for converting personal photos, family pictures, or sensitive business images that you wouldn't want to upload to unknown servers.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format that provides better compression than JPG while maintaining higher quality. It's used by default on newer iPhones.
Yes, our converter supports batch conversion of up to 8 HEIC files to PNG simultaneously.
Yes, our HEIC to PNG converter is completely free with no limitations.
Yes, our converter handles both HEIC and HEIF file extensions for conversion to PNG.
Conversion speed depends on file size and your device's processing power. PNG encoding can sometimes take slightly longer than JPG. Typically, each HEIC file converts to PNG in 3-15 seconds.
