How to use this tool

  1. Select your HEIC files

    Drag and drop HEIC or HEIF files, click to browse, or paste directly from your clipboard. Batch conversion of multiple files is fully supported.

  2. No quality settings needed

    PNG is lossless, so there's no quality trade-off. Every pixel from your original HEIC is reproduced exactly in the output.

  3. Click Convert

    The browser decodes your HEIC and writes a full-color PNG with alpha channel support. Conversion typically takes 2–8 seconds per file depending on resolution.

  4. Download your PNG files

    Download individually or as a ZIP archive. Files are never uploaded to any server — everything happens locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I convert HEIC to PNG instead of JPG?

PNG uses lossless compression — every pixel is identical to the source. Choose PNG when you're going to edit the image further (e.g., in Photoshop or Figma), when you need clean edges for logos or UI screenshots, or when you're archiving irreplaceable photos without any generational quality loss.

Will PNG files be much larger than HEIC?

Yes, often 3–6× larger. HEIC is one of the most efficient lossy formats. A 3 MB HEIC file might produce a 15–18 MB PNG. If file size matters more than lossless quality, convert to JPG instead — it'll be much smaller.

Does HEIC support transparency? Will it carry over to PNG?

Standard iPhone photos don't use transparency. However, HEIC does support an alpha channel in its specification. If your HEIC file contains transparency (uncommon in camera photos, more common in graphics), our converter will preserve it in the PNG output.

What HEIC variants are supported?

We support the most common variants: heic, heif, heis, heix, and mif1 brand codes, covering virtually all iPhone and iPad photos. HEICS (Live Photo sequences and burst shots) is partially supported — the first frame is extracted.

Can I use the PNG output directly in Photoshop or Figma?

Yes. Standard PNG files (which is what we produce) are supported by every major image editor and design tool. The output is a 32-bit RGBA PNG at the full original resolution of your HEIC photo.
