HEIC to PNG Converter
Choose PNG when an editor accepts it but cannot open HEIC. PNG avoids another lossy encoding step, but it cannot recover detail already lost in the HEIC original or guarantee the same HDR appearance.

Try the 800 × 800 HEIC test image
Try it and check the result
- Add a still HEIC and keep PNG selected.
- Convert, download and open the PNG in the destination editor.
- Compare orientation and color with the original before discarding either file.
What changes in the output
- Expect a larger file than the HEIC original; PNG is not a file-size compressor.
- The conversion produces one still image and removes EXIF/GPS. It does not preserve the full HEIC container or Live Photo motion.
- Exported PNG pixels are lossless after decoding; this is not a promise of preserving HDR or the source color profile.
If the result looks wrong
An unsupported HEIC variant may fail to decode. Export a compatible still from the source device rather than renaming the extension.

Continue with another image tool
After checking an image, choose a tool for the change you need. Each tool has a different purpose.
Compress Images to KB or MB
Reduce file size to fit a KB or MB limit. Compression may also reduce pixel dimensions to reach your target.
Image Resizer and Social Media Sizes
Change pixel width and height for a website, print layout or social media preset. Enlarging an image does not restore missing detail.
Metadata Remover
Need to strip or edit EXIF before sharing? Open Metadata Remover to remove GPS, camera data and other hidden fields.
Image Size Finder
Check pixel width, height, megapixels and aspect ratio instantly for one image or a full batch.

HEIC to PNG FAQ
How do I convert HEIC to PNG?
Drop your HEIC file into the tool above, then download the PNG. Everything runs in your browser - your image is never uploaded to a server.
Is converting HEIC to PNG free?
Yes. No signup or watermark is required. Batch size is limited by your device memory, and images above 40 million pixels are rejected.
Will I lose quality converting HEIC to PNG?
PNG losslessly stores the decoded pixels and alpha channel. Source metadata, color profiles and detail already lost in the original are not restored.
What is the difference between HEIC and PNG?
Decode HEIC to lossless PNG, keeping every pixel of the original capture. Lossless with full transparency — logos, screenshots, line art.
Does converting HEIC to PNG need a plugin or an install?
No. PNG is one of the three formats browsers can encode themselves, so nothing extra is downloaded and conversion is near-instant. Reading HEIC also happens locally, through libheif.
Is transparency kept in the PNG?
Yes. If the HEIC has an alpha channel it carries through to the PNG.
Is EXIF and GPS data kept in the PNG?
No. Conversion goes through raw pixels, so EXIF, GPS coordinates, IPTC and XMP are all dropped. That is usually what you want before sharing a photo - but if you need to keep the format and only remove metadata, use the Metadata Remover instead.
