HEIC to PNG converter

PNG is the format to choose when an iPhone photo has to survive repeated editing, or when a tool specifically demands a PNG. This converter decodes your HEIC files and re-saves them as lossless PNGs entirely on your own device — nothing is uploaded, and after a one-time decoder download it even works offline.

  • No upload — files stay on your device
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Free forever, no signup, no watermark

How to use this tool

  1. Add your HEIC photos

    Drop up to 25 iPhone photos onto the box or tap to choose them — they are read directly on your device, never uploaded.

  2. Let the decoder load once

    The first photo downloads the HEIC decoder (about 1 MB) a single time; every conversion after that runs locally in about a second.

  3. Download your PNGs

    Save the converted files one by one or all together. Expect them to be noticeably larger than the originals — that is the price of a lossless format.

Questions people ask

When should I pick PNG instead of JPG for an iPhone photo?

Pick PNG when the image will be edited and re-saved repeatedly (PNG never degrades), or when software insists on a PNG. For sharing, emailing and uploading, JPG is the better choice — it is far smaller and every service accepts it.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than my HEIC file?

HEIC is the most space-efficient photo format in common use and PNG is lossless, so a 2 MB HEIC photo can easily become a 20 MB PNG. Nothing is wrong — that is what storing every pixel exactly costs. If the size surprises you, the HEIC to JPG converter gives files close to the original size.

Does the conversion happen on my device?

Yes, entirely. The photo is decoded with the open-source libheif library running as WebAssembly in your browser and re-encoded to PNG by the browser itself. There is no upload endpoint on this site — the first conversion just downloads the decoder once (about 1 MB), then everything works offline.

Will I lose quality converting HEIC to PNG?

No — PNG is lossless, so every pixel the HEIC decoder produces is stored exactly. What you cannot get back is any detail the iPhone discarded when it first compressed the photo, but nothing further is lost in this conversion.

Why do Windows and my editing software refuse HEIC?

HEIC uses the HEVC video codec, which carries patent licensing costs, so Microsoft and many software vendors never bundled a decoder. Converting to PNG (or JPG) turns the photo into a format every program has read for decades.
