Convert HEIC to PNG Online — Free HEIC/HEIF Image Converter
Convert HEIC and HEIF images to PNG directly in your browser — no software to install, no account needed. This free tool handles photos from iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices running iOS 11 or later, delivering a widely compatible PNG file in return.
What is HEIC/HEIF?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple’s preferred file format for photos taken on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It is based on the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). HEIC files store the same visual quality as a JPEG but typically at roughly half the file size, which helps save storage space on your device. The downside is that HEIC is not yet universally supported — many older apps, websites, and non-Apple devices cannot open these files without additional software.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is one of the most widely supported image formats across all platforms, operating systems, and applications. Converting your HEIC photos to PNG gives you:
- Universal compatibility — PNG opens in virtually every image viewer, browser, and graphics application.
- Lossless quality — PNG uses lossless compression, so no image detail is discarded during conversion.
- Transparency support — PNG supports an alpha channel, making it ideal for graphics work and web use.
- Easy sharing — PNG files can be uploaded to websites, social media, and cloud services without compatibility issues.

This converter accepts HEIC and HEIF image files, including those produced by iPhones, iPads, and other devices that use the HEIF standard. You can upload a photo directly from your device or provide a URL to a remote file. The output is a standard PNG file ready to use anywhere.
