HEIC to PNG Converter

.heic → .png (High Efficiency Image Container → Portable Network Graphics, lossless)

.heic → .png

Convert High Efficiency Image Container images to Portable Network Graphicsentirely in your browser. The source file is decoded with the browser’s native image pipeline, rendered to a canvas, and re-encoded in the target format. Nothing is uploaded — Convertitive cannot see, log, or store the image you drop in. PNG is lossless, so the output is a pixel-exact re-encoding of the rendered canvas.

How to convert High Efficiency Image Container to Portable Network Graphics

  1. Drop or pick your image

    Drag a .heic file onto the upload box, or click to choose one from your device. Up to 25 MB.

  2. Pick PNG as the target

    PNG is already selected. It's a lossless format, so no quality setting is needed.

  3. Click Convert and download

    The browser renders your image onto a canvas and re-encodes it as PNG. The download button appears the moment the file is ready.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to PNG?
Drag your .heic file into the upload box, leave PNG selected, then click Convert. The download button appears as soon as the new file is encoded.
Is the conversion lossy?
No. PNG is a lossless format, so the pixels of the rendered canvas are preserved exactly.
What happens to transparency?
Transparency is preserved end-to-end as long as both formats support it. PNG does support transparency.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — the file never leaves your device. Convertitive cannot see, log, or store it.
What's the maximum file size?
25 MB. Larger images won't open here because the browser keeps them fully in memory. For very large photos, downsample first.
Will my image be resized?
No. The output has the exact same pixel dimensions as the source. Only the encoding changes.
Why is the output sometimes larger than the input?
Re-encoding does not always make a file smaller — the source image may already be near-optimal for its format. Try a lower quality setting if file size matters.
Which browser do I need?
Any browser released since 2020 supports all three formats. AVIF is not in the picker yet; we'll add it once Safari ships full encoder support.

About HEIC and PNG

HEIC .heic

HEIC is Apple's default photo format on iPhone since iOS 11 — roughly half the file size of an equivalent JPEG at the same visual quality. Most non-Apple software and every web browser can't open it directly, which is why photos AirDropped or emailed from an iPhone often show up as a blank or broken file. Convertitive decodes HEIC locally in your browser and re-encodes it as JPG or PNG — nothing is uploaded.

PNG .png

PNG is a lossless raster format with full transparency support. It's the right choice for screenshots, UI graphics, icons, line art, and any image that must be pixel-perfect. PNG files are typically larger than JPEG or WebP for photographs, smaller for graphics with large flat-colored regions.
