Convert HEIC to PNG — Free, 100% Local
HEIC is the default photo format on iPhone. It saves space but has poor compatibility — many apps and platforms can't open it. When you need to edit a photo in software that doesn't support HEIC, or a platform only accepts PNG, converting HEIC to PNG is the safest option. PNG is lossless, so no matter how many times you re-edit and re-save afterwards, no additional quality is lost — ideal for screenshots, cut-outs and design assets that need crisp edges.
Because browsers can't natively decode HEIC, this tool decodes it on your device with a WebAssembly decoder, then re-encodes to PNG with the Canvas API — 100% in your browser, no uploads. Set the right expectation: PNG is lossless, so the file is usually considerably larger than the original HEIC, which is normal. If your goal is a smaller file and you just need an ordinary photo to open, HEIC to JPG gives you a much smaller result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my photos be uploaded?
No. HEIC decoding and conversion run entirely in your browser (a WebAssembly decoder plus the Canvas API) — 100% local processing. Your photos are never uploaded to any server.
What's the difference between HEIC to PNG and HEIC to JPG?
PNG is lossless — best for further editing or when you need crisp edges or transparency — but files are larger. JPG is lossy — smaller and highly compatible — better for everyday sharing and uploads. Choose based on your use case.
Why is the resulting PNG so large?
PNG is a lossless format that stores every pixel exactly, and HEIC compresses very efficiently to begin with, so the PNG is often several times larger. That's expected.
Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG stores the decoded image losslessly, so the conversion itself introduces no additional compression artifacts.
Does conversion keep GPS and other metadata?
No. Conversion keeps only the pixels, so GPS, capture time and other EXIF metadata from the original are not written into the output PNG — which is safer for privacy.
