Convert HEIC to PNG Online — No Upload, No Watermark
When you need lossless conversion of an iPhone HEIC photo (for editing or print), PNG preserves every pixel without JPEG’s compression artifacts.
Drop image (PNG/JPG/WebP/AVIF/HEIC)

Where HEIC files come from
iPhone photos that need to go into a design tool or an editing workflow, where lossless matters more than file size and JPEG's generation loss is unwelcome.
What changes when you convert HEIC to PNG
| Encoding | HEIC decoded and stored losslessly as PNG |
|---|---|
| File size | Grows substantially, often several times the HEIC |
| Quality | No further loss beyond what HEIC already applied |
Worth knowing first
For sharing or uploading a photo, JPEG is the better target: a fraction of the size and accepted everywhere. Choose PNG only when the image is about to be edited and you want no additional compression in the chain.
FAQ
PNG or JPEG for iPhone photos?
JPEG for sharing and uploading, since it is far smaller and universally accepted. PNG when the photo is going straight into an editor and you want to avoid stacking another lossy encode on top of HEIC.
Why is the PNG several times larger than the HEIC?
HEIC is a highly efficient lossy format and PNG is lossless. A 2 MB phone photo can become 10 MB or more, which is expected rather than a fault.
Does the GPS data carry over?
PNG has far weaker metadata support than JPEG, so most EXIF including location does not survive. That is convenient for privacy, but do not rely on it; use the Image Metadata Cleaner if it matters.
Is this HEIC to PNG converter free, with no upload?
Yes. The image is decoded and re-encoded in your browser using a Canvas + Wasm pipeline — it never uploads. No signup, no watermark.
