HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert HEIC to lossless PNG for editing, design software, screenshots and workflows that need an alpha-capable image format.

Create an editing-friendly PNG from HEIC

PNG is a practical intermediate format when an editor cannot import HEIC or when you want to avoid another lossy save before adding graphics, text or transparency.

Unlike JPG, PNG stores the decoded pixels losslessly. It will not recover detail lost in the original HEIC, but it avoids adding JPEG artefacts during this conversion.

Transparency: PNG supports full transparency, including soft and partially transparent edges when present in the decoded HEIF image.

What you get converting HEIC to PNG

Lossless output

PNG stores the converted pixel data without a new lossy compression pass.

Alpha support

If a supported HEIF image includes transparency, PNG can retain its alpha channel.

Editor compatibility

PNG imports cleanly into common design, presentation and image-editing tools.

Exact dimensions

The original width and height are retained after orientation is applied.

What to expect: PNG files are commonly much larger than HEIC photographs because PNG uses lossless compression. The size increase is normal.

HEIC to PNG — frequently asked questions

It does not improve the source. PNG avoids new lossy compression, but it cannot recreate detail discarded when the HEIC was made.

HEIC is optimized for photographic compression; PNG preserves decoded pixels losslessly and therefore usually needs more space.

Yes when transparency exists in the supported source image. PNG can store a complete alpha channel.

PNG has broad support across modern design and image-editing applications, even where HEIC import is unavailable.

No. The converter processes the primary still image in the uploaded HEIC/HEIF file, not a paired Live Photo video.

The page accepts up to 30 supported HEIC or HEIF files, with a 25 MB limit per image.

Who benefits from converting HEIC to PNG?

These are common examples; the right workflow depends on the file, required output, and your organization’s handling rules.

Designers

Create a lossless working file that can support transparent areas and crisp edges. A typical use is preparing an iPhone image for graphic design.

Documentation teams

Keep screenshots, diagrams, and interface details clear for guides and reports. A typical use is creating a PNG asset for slides or documents.

Brand teams

Prepare logos and graphics for layouts that may require transparency. A typical use is keeping an alpha-capable master before further editing.

Image editors

Use a stable intermediate file for cutouts, overlays, and repeated edits. A typical use is the original width and height are retained after orientation is applied..
