Batch HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert HEIC to PNG online for free. 100% secure, fast, and private local file conversion directly in your browser. No software installation required.

Why convert HEIC to PNG?

When iPhone photos enter an editing workflow, HEIC is rarely the working format. Editors, plugins, and print pipelines want PNG: lossless, universally accepted, and capable of an alpha channel for cut-outs and compositing. Converting HEIC to PNG gives retouchers a pixel-exact base that never degrades across repeated saves, and it solves the same compatibility problem as HEIC-to-JPG for software that supports PNG but not HEIC.

WasmConvert decodes HEIC to PNG locally in your browser, preserving the decoded pixels exactly and adding none of JPG's compression losses. The PNG will be considerably larger than the HEIC source — you are trading Apple's aggressive compression for a universal lossless working file. Batch mode converts a full iPhone export into PNG masters offline, and since processing never leaves the device, private photos stay local even when the conversion is large.

Common use cases

  • Creating lossless PNG working copies of iPhone photos before retouching or compositing.
  • Delivering iPhone images to editors and print services that accept PNG but not HEIC.
  • Archiving decoded HEIC photos as PNG masters for long-term, format-agnostic storage.

HEIC

HEIC is Apple's high-efficiency image format. Converting it to JPG or PNG is essential for viewing these photos on Windows devices or non-Apple software.

PNG

PNG is a lossless raster image format that supports transparent backgrounds. It is the format of choice for icons, logos, and web graphics where detail and clarity are more important than file size.

Pro tips for HEIC to PNG conversion

  • PNG output is several times larger than the HEIC source; for archiving consider keeping both, or convert to lossless WebP for a smaller master.
  • HEIC decodes to standard RGB, so PNG records the sRGB result — profile mismatches can make colors shift on wide-gamut displays; check after conversion.
  • If you need transparency later (cut-outs), PNG is the right target because HEIC's still-image path has no alpha channel to begin with.

HEIC to PNG FAQ

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Choose JPG for photos you want to share (smaller files). Choose PNG if you plan to edit the image further or need lossless quality. PNG files are significantly larger but preserve every detail.
Does HEIC to PNG preserve all image data?
PNG preserves the pixel data as-is from the HEIC decode, but any data already lost in HEIC lossy compression cannot be recovered. The PNG output will be lossless from that point forward.
Can I convert Live Photos (HEIC) to PNG?
The converter extracts the still image portion of the HEIC file and converts it to PNG. The video/motion component of a Live Photo is stored separately and is not included in the PNG output.
Why is the PNG file so much larger than HEIC?
HEIC uses advanced compression from the HEVC codec, producing very small files. PNG uses simpler lossless compression. A 3MB HEIC photo could become 15-20MB as PNG.
Is HEIC to PNG good for printing?
Yes. PNG's lossless quality makes it excellent for printing. Converting HEIC to PNG before sending to a print service ensures maximum quality and avoids compatibility issues.
