Why convert HEIC to PNG?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression to produce files 40–50% smaller than JPG. However, HEIC is not supported on Windows, most Android devices, many web platforms, or older macOS versions.
PNG is a lossless format supported universally — every browser, operating system, and image editor handles PNG without issues. Converting HEIC to PNG preserves the full image quality without any compression artifacts. PNG also supports alpha transparency.
PNG files will be larger than the original HEIC because PNG does not use lossy compression. If file size matters more than lossless quality, consider converting to JPG or WebP instead.
All processing happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No registration, no limits, no watermarks.

What to expect when converting HEIC to PNG?
HEIC uses lossy HEVC compression while PNG is a lossless format. The conversion decodes the HEIC data and saves every pixel exactly as-is in PNG. No additional quality loss occurs during conversion.
PNG files will be significantly larger than the original HEIC — a 2 MB HEIC photo may become 8–15 MB in PNG. This is expected because PNG stores all pixel data without lossy compression.
If file size is a concern, consider converting to JPG (lossy, much smaller) or WebP (modern, smaller than both) instead. PNG is the right choice when you need lossless quality and universal compatibility.
HEIC to PNG – typical file sizes
PNG files are larger than HEIC because PNG uses lossless compression while HEIC uses lossy HEVC:
iPhone photo (12 MP)
HEIC: 2.1 MB → PNG: 12 MB
6× larger (lossless)
Screenshot
HEIC: 800 KB → PNG: 2.5 MB
3× larger (lossless)
iPhone photo (48 MP)
HEIC: 5 MB → PNG: 35 MB
7× larger (lossless)
The size increase is expected. PNG prioritizes quality and compatibility over file size. Use JPG or WebP if smaller files are needed.
