HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert HEIC iPhone photos to lossless PNG - great for editing or when you need transparency support.

Why convert HEIC to PNG?

Most people convert HEIC to JPG, but PNG is the right pick when you plan to edit the photo afterwards - the lossless format means edits and re-saves don't accumulate JPEG artifacts. PNG is also the right call for photos that contain text, line art, or graphics overlaid on real-life imagery, where JPG's lossy compression would soften the edges.

The trade-off is file size: a HEIC photo from a modern iPhone can balloon to 3-5x its original size as a PNG, since PNG is lossless and can't take advantage of the same redundancy compression. If file size matters more than perfect quality, choose JPG output instead. Everything happens in your browser via WebAssembly libheif - no upload.
