How to convert HEIC to PNG

Converting HEIC photos to lossless PNG is simple. First, drop your HEIC files onto the upload area or click to browse. You can also paste copied HEIC photos directly using Ctrl+V. Batch selection is supported for converting multiple files at once.

Second, click Convert All to PNG. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Each HEIC image is decoded and re-encoded as lossless PNG locally on your device. Unlike JPG, PNG preserves every pixel of detail from your original HEIC photos.

Third, download your PNG files. Each converted image gets its own download button, or grab all files at once as a ZIP archive. Original HEIC files remain untouched.

Why convert HEIC to PNG?

PNG is the format of choice when quality matters above all else. Unlike JPG which discards image data to reduce file size, PNG uses lossless compression - every pixel is identical to the source. This makes HEIC to PNG conversion essential for professional photography workflows, high-quality printing, image archiving, graphic design and editing, and any situation where maximum image fidelity is required.

PNG also supports transparency (alpha channel), which is critical for logos, overlays, and design assets. If your HEIC photos will undergo further editing in Photoshop, GIMP, or other editors, converting to PNG ensures no quality loss from repeated save cycles.

HEIC to PNG vs HEIC to JPG: Which one?

Choose PNG when: you need lossless quality, preparing files for print, archiving important photos, editing in professional software, or working with images containing text, sharp lines, or transparency. PNG preserves every pixel perfectly.

Choose JPG when: you prioritize smaller file sizes for web uploads, social media, or email attachments. JPG at 85-92% quality is visually indistinguishable from PNG for most photos while being 5-10x smaller. Visit our HEIC to JPG Converter for JPG output.
