HEIC to PNG Converter, Free and In Your Browser

PNG keeps a lossless bitmap, which helps when a HEIC photo must open in a design tool that does not accept Apple's default container.

Upload below to export PNG at full resolution. Format notes explain transparency and file size trade-offs for this pair.

Format notes

When to use this output

Choose PNG when a HEIC shot must land in a design app, document editor, or archive that wants lossless pixels without Apple's container. PNG is a safe hand-off for further editing.

Transparency

PNG supports transparency, but iPhone HEIC photos are almost always fully opaque. You gain a lossless format, not a cut-out, unless the source already had alpha (rare from the camera).

Quality

PNG is lossless relative to the decoded bitmap. You will not recover detail that HEIC compression already discarded, but you avoid another lossy generation.

File size

PNG files are usually larger than HEIC or JPG for the same photo. The trade is fidelity and editor compatibility, not smallest byte count.

FAQ

Will PNG fix a blurry HEIC?

No. PNG preserves the decoded pixels; it cannot undo camera motion or aggressive HEIC compression.

Can I print from PNG?

Yes. Downloaded PNG keeps full resolution. Use your printer's actual size setting, not fit-to-page scaling.

HEIC limit on this page?

HEIC inputs are capped at 15 MB here; other formats allow up to 25 MB.
