Convert HEIC photos from iPhone to PNG online for free. Upload your HEIC file and download a lossless PNG in seconds. No app installation, no signup, no watermarks.
PNG is a lossless format supported by every image editing application, operating system and platform. Converting iPhone HEIC photos to PNG gives you a high-quality source file compatible with any workflow — from Photoshop to PowerPoint, from Windows to any web platform.
Unlike converting to JPG, converting HEIC to PNG preserves all image data losslessly, making it the right choice when you plan to edit the photo further or need maximum quality.
HEIC photos need to be converted for most non-Apple workflows. PNG is the right choice when quality and compatibility both matter.
When iPhone photos need to be retouched in Photoshop, Affinity Photo or Lightroom Classic, PNG is the preferred import format because it preserves all image data losslessly. Retouching a HEIC that has been converted to JPG introduces additional compression artefacts on top of any JPG artefacts already present. PNG avoids this entirely.
Print labs and editorial teams often require PNG or TIFF as source files because these lossless formats preserve detail in highlights and shadows that JPG compression discards. Converting iPhone HEIC photos to PNG before delivering to a print lab ensures the lab has the highest quality source to work from.
Application developers processing user-uploaded photos from iPhone users may need to convert HEIC inputs to a universally supported format. PNG is the safest choice when the downstream processing pipeline needs to handle transparency or perform lossless operations on the image data.
Quick answers about how this tool works and how to get the best results.
No. PNG is a lossless format — it preserves every pixel from the original HEIC without any compression artefacts. The converted PNG will be visually identical to the source photo. PNG files are larger than HEIC because HEIC uses very efficient compression, but the PNG contains all the original image data in a universally readable format.
Yes. HEIC uses very efficient compression, while PNG stores pixels losslessly without compression artefacts. A PNG made from a HEIC photo will typically be two to four times larger than the source HEIC file. This is expected — the PNG contains all the image data the HEIC had, stored in a way that every application can read without a special decoder.
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no application is installed on your device. Any modern browser on Windows, including Chrome, Firefox and Edge, can convert HEIC files using this tool.
Yes. Your HEIC file is decoded inside your browser and is never sent to any server. Close or reload the tab and the image data is immediately cleared from memory.
