HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert HEIC to lossless PNG — computed locally on your device, no quality loss.

When should you convert HEIC to PNG instead of JPG?

PNG is a lossless format — converting HEIC to PNG preserves the original image bit-for-bit, with no compression artifacts. That makes it the right choice when you'll edit the image further (each round of JPEG re-saving degrades quality), when you need transparency, or when you're producing screenshots or graphics rather than photos. The tradeoff is file size: PNGs are typically 3–10× larger than the equivalent JPEG. The conversion is processed in your browser via WebAssembly (libheif).

About HEIC

HEIC is iPhone's default photo format — efficient but limited compatibility.
  • First introduced in iOS 11 (2017)
  • Lossy by design — converting to PNG cannot recover quality already lost in HEIC encoding
  • PNG output preserves whatever quality the HEIC source has

Frequently asked questions

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
PNG if you need lossless quality or transparency (graphics, screenshots, images you'll edit). JPG if you need small file sizes for sharing or web use (photos). For most photo use cases, JPG is the right answer.
