How to convert HEIC to PNG

What is HEIC?
HEIC is the format Apple devices use to store photos. Built on the HEVC codec, it keeps iPhone photos at roughly half the size of JPG with the same quality, but it is not widely supported outside the Apple ecosystem — which is why converting to JPG or PNG is so common.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format that preserves every pixel exactly and supports a full alpha-transparency channel. It is the standard choice for logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic with sharp edges, flat colour or transparent areas.
HEIC vs PNG: how they compare
Before converting, it helps to know how HEIC and PNG stack up. The table below breaks it down.
| HEIC | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Image | Image |
| Compression | Lossy (HEVC) | Lossless |
| Quality | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | iPhone and iPad photo storage | Logos and icons |
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
The usual reason to turn HEIC into PNG is compatibility: PNG is the right fit for logos and icons and screenshots.
What PNG gives you: lossless — no quality loss, full transparency support and crisp edges and text.
Where HEIC falls short: poor support on Windows, Android and the web, often rejected by upload forms and needs conversion to share widely. Converting keeps your content while moving to a format that matches where the file is going.
Tips for the best results
- PNG is lossless, so your converted files keep every detail of the original HEIC.
- You can convert several files in one go — add as many HEIC files as you like and download them together.
- Everything runs locally in your browser, so even large files convert quickly and nothing is uploaded.
