HEIC to PNG Converter — Free, Local, No Upload

The short answer: Convert a still HEIC photo to PNG for a destination that accepts PNG. PNG encodes the decoded canvas without a quality slider; it does not preserve the original HEIC container or all its data. The output may be larger. Inspect the downloaded image and its actual bytes before using it.

HEIC

HEIC → PNG

What to watch

The output is an sRGB canvas with no ICC profile or EXIF metadata carried through, and animated HEIF sequences are refused outright; burst files decode to their primary image, which the workspace discloses. Input files up to 25 MiB are accepted, within the 8,192 px and 24-megapixel ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

What is HEIC and why does my iPhone save photos in it?
HEIC is the container Apple's cameras use for photos stored in the HEIF standard, compressing pictures with the HEVC (H.265) codec. At the same visual quality it typically needs about half the space of a JPEG, which matters on a phone that shoots video and bursts all day. The trade-off is compatibility: Windows, older Macs, many websites, and most upload forms expect JPEG or PNG — exactly the gap this converter closes, locally and without uploading your photo.
Will converting HEIC to PNG reduce image quality?
No. The PNG output re-encodes the decoded pixels exactly, with no quality slider. The file usually grows instead of shrinking, and the result is a safe master for editing and further processing.
