Why convert HEIC to PNG?

PNG is lossless: every pixel you save is the pixel you get back, no matter how many times you open and re-save the file. That makes it the safe choice when a photo is a starting point rather than a finished product — something you'll crop, retouch, cut out in Photoshop, Figma or Canva, or drop into a slide deck where JPG's blocky artifacts would show around text and sharp edges. The catch is size: a 12-megapixel iPhone photo as PNG is often 15–25 MB, several times larger than the same image as JPG.

How to convert HEIC to PNG

  1. Add your HEIC or HEIF files with the button or by dragging them in.
  2. If the PNGs will be used on the web or in a document, set a maximum size — halving the dimensions cuts the file to roughly a quarter.
  3. Choose whether to keep the original EXIF details such as capture date and camera model.
  4. Download the PNGs one by one or all together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is HEIC to PNG really lossless?

The conversion itself adds no loss: the decoded HEIC pixels are stored exactly as they are. The HEIC was already compressed by your camera, so PNG can't restore detail that was never saved — but it guarantees you won't lose any more.

Why are my PNG files so much bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses modern video-style compression that throws away detail your eye won't miss; PNG keeps everything. A 2 MB HEIC turning into a 15–20 MB PNG is normal. If size matters more than editability, the JPG or WebP converter is a better fit.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

Regular iPhone photos don't contain transparency, so the PNG will be fully opaque. If a HEIF file does include an alpha channel, it is preserved in the PNG.

Do iPhone HDR photos stay HDR?

No. The PNG is a standard 8-bit image, which is what nearly every editor and website expects. Colors from the iPhone's wider Display P3 range are kept by embedding the original color profile.

PNG or JPG — which should I pick?

Pick PNG if you will edit the image further or need crisp edges around text and graphics. Pick JPG if you just want to share, print or upload a photo — it's far smaller and looks the same.
