HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to lossless PNG that opens on Windows, Android, and the web. PNG keeps every pixel and supports transparency, making it ideal when you need a sharp, editable copy of an iPhone photo rather than a compressed JPG.

When to convert HEIC to PNG

  • Open iPhone photos on Windows or Android
  • Edit an iPhone photo without generational JPG loss
  • Use an iPhone screenshot or graphic on the web

About the HEIC and PNG formats

HEIC

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format iPhone uses since iOS 11. It stores roughly half the bytes of a JPG at the same quality, but Windows, Android, and most websites refuse to open it. Converting HEIC to JPG is the single most-searched image conversion on Google for that reason.

PNG

PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.

How to convert HEIC to PNG

    Drop a HEIC file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the HEIC you want to convert.

    The output is pre-set to PNG. You can adjust quality or bitrate in the advanced options if you need a smaller file.

  3. Start the conversion

HEIC to PNG — Frequently asked questions

PNG is lossless (larger files, perfect quality) — best for screenshots, graphics, and editing. JPG is much smaller and fine for normal photos. Pick PNG when quality and transparency matter.
