How do I convert HEIC to PNG?

Drop your HEIC file onto this page and the PNG version is produced immediately, in your browser. There is no upload, no queue and no account — the conversion runs on your own device using the canvas API.

Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?

PNG is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during the conversion itself. Anything already lost by HEIC's own compression cannot be recovered.

Is my HEIC file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read by your browser, decoded and re-encoded on your device, and handed straight back. Nothing is transmitted, which matters when the image is a document, a screenshot of something private, or a photograph with location data in it.

Why would I convert HEIC to PNG?

Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. That is usually the reason. Decoding requires Apple hardware or a licensed decoder, so most browsers cannot open it at all — which is exactly why people need to convert it.

About the HEIC to PNG

HEIC is High Efficiency Image Container. What an iPhone shoots by default. Roughly half the size of a JPG at the same quality. Decoding requires Apple hardware or a licensed decoder, so most browsers cannot open it at all — which is exactly why people need to convert it.

PNG is Portable Network Graphics. Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. Large for photographs — it stores every pixel exactly, and a photograph has no repeating detail to compress.

What changes in this conversion: Converting to PNG cannot restore what HEIC already discarded. The file will get larger without getting better — the compression artefacts are stored losslessly along with everything else.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

How it works

Drop in a HEIC file — it is read by your browser, not uploaded.
It is decoded and re-encoded as PNG on your own device.
Download the result. Nothing is stored anywhere.
