TO
Processed on your device - nothing is uploaded.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Drop the heic image
Drag your HEIC in or click to browse. It is decoded on your device, not uploaded.
2
Convert to PNG
The image is re-encoded as PNG in this tab, at full resolution.
3
Save it
The PNG downloads back to your device immediately.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Photos - including personal ones - convert on your device and nowhere else.
Local conversion
Choose your file, then click Convert. Processing starts locally after any required converter files have loaded.
No account, no daily cap
No per-day limits, no account, no watermarks on your images.
The two formats, briefly
| HEIC | HEIC is an image container. This tool decodes an image locally; extra images, depth data and metadata are not an archival part of the export. | |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | PNG stores raster pixels with lossless compression and supports transparency. A decoded PNG export is not a copy of all source metadata or animation. | |
When you need this
- Export the decoded HEIC image as PNG for an editor or upload form that accepts PNG. Transparency can be retained where the decoded image has it, but metadata and animation are not preserved.
HEIC vs PNG: what changes
| HEIC | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Kind | Image | Image |
| Compression | Depends on source encoding | Lossless raster compression |
| Typical size | Depends on the file and encoding settings. | Measure the exported file; it may be larger. |
| Opens on | Check the source in your app and browser. | Check the downloaded file in the receiving app. |
| Best for | Keep the original as your source. | PNG workflows, subject to the limits below. |
Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- PNG encoding does not use a quality slider. It stores the browser-decoded raster, not every feature of the source file. Metadata, animation and higher-precision color handling may change.
- Check the exported image at its actual size and compare its file size before submitting it. The original file is not modified.
HEIC to PNG, answered
Why convert HEIC to PNG?+
Export the decoded HEIC image as PNG for an editor or upload form that accepts PNG. Transparency can be retained where the decoded image has it, but metadata and animation are not preserved.
Which quality should I pick?+
PNG encoding does not use a quality slider. It stores the browser-decoded raster, not every feature of the source file. Metadata, animation and higher-precision color handling may change.
Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?+
PNG losslessly stores the decoded raster, not the entire source file. Metadata and animation are not kept, and decoding can change color handling or precision. SVG paths become pixels; TIFF contributes its first image.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
No upload, full stop. Everything between dropping the file and downloading the png happens in your browser.
