Free HEIC to PNG Converter
Turn HEIC photos from your iPhone into lossless PNG images that open in any editor or app. Batch-convert as many as you like — everything happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
What is the HEIC to PNG converter?
A HEIC to PNG converter is a free tool that turns HEIC photos — the default format on iPhone and iPad — into lossless PNG images. PNG keeps every pixel exactly as decoded and is supported by every image editor and app, which makes it the right pick when you plan to edit, annotate or archive the photo rather than just view it. Slashit's converter decodes HEIC entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded to a server. Convert as many as you like at once and download PNGs that work anywhere. PNG files will be noticeably larger than the original HEIC, since nothing is compressed away.
How our free HEIC to PNG converter works
Add your HEIC photos
Drag HEIC or HEIF files onto the drop zone, or click to choose them.
Wait for the one-time decoder

What can you use the HEIC to PNG converter for?
Editing an iPhone photo without quality loss
PNG is lossless, so you can crop, annotate and re-save as often as you like without the image degrading — useful for photos you'll work on repeatedly.
Getting a HEIC into design software
Many editors either can't open HEIC or need a plugin. PNG imports cleanly into every image editor and design tool.
Archiving important photos
For scanned documents, receipts or photos you intend to keep long term, PNG is a widely supported lossless format that won't degrade.
Preparing screenshots and detail shots
Where fine text or sharp edges matter, PNG keeps them crisp in a way JPG compression cannot.

HEIC to PNG or JPG — which should you pick?
Both solve the compatibility problem. The right choice depends on what you'll do next with the photo.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Lossless — pixel-perfect | Slight, usually invisible loss |
| File size | Largest — often several MB | Much smaller |
| Transparency | Supported | Not supported |
| Best for | Editing, archiving, graphics and text | Sharing, emailing, uploading, printing |
Tips for getting the best results
Choose JPG if you're just sharing
PNG files from phone photos get big fast. If the goal is simply to send or upload the photo, HEIC to JPG gives a far more practical file size.
Use PNG as your editing master
Convert once to PNG, do your editing there, then export a compressed JPG at the end for sharing. That keeps quality high throughout.
Convert in batches
The decoder loads once per visit, so converting a group of photos together is much faster than doing them individually.
Compress the result if needed
If a PNG is too large to send, run it through the image compressor and switch the output to JPG or WebP.
Common problems and how to fix them
The PNG files are huge
That's inherent to PNG — it stores every pixel losslessly, so a phone photo can easily reach 5–10 MB. Convert to JPG instead if you need something you can email.
The first photo takes several seconds
The HEIC decoder loads once on first use, around 3 MB. Subsequent photos in the same visit convert quickly.
My file won't load
Confirm it's genuinely a HEIC or HEIF file. Photos already shared through messaging apps have often been converted to JPG along the way.
Frequently asked questions
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG if you'll edit or archive the photo and want zero quality loss. Choose JPG if you mainly need to share or upload it, since JPG files are far smaller.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC is highly compressed while PNG is lossless and stores all the image data, so PNG files from photos are often several times larger.
Is it private?
Yes — the conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded anywhere.
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG if you'll edit or archive the photo and want zero quality loss. Choose JPG if you mainly need to share, upload or print it — the files are dramatically smaller.
Does HEIC to PNG keep full quality?
Yes. PNG is lossless, so it reproduces exactly what the HEIC decoded to, with no additional compression applied.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes. Drop in as many as you like and download them individually or as a batch when they're done.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Both the HEIC decoding and the PNG conversion happen inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
