HEIC to PNG Converter — free, lossless, right in your browser
Convert HEIC to PNG in seconds — every pixel preserved. Your iPhone photos are decoded on your own device, so they are never uploaded anywhere. PNG is the lossless choice: ideal for editing, screenshots, graphics and anywhere you need transparency. Batch convert up to 20 photos at once and download them one by one or as a single ZIP.
Convert HEIC to PNG online
To convert HEIC to PNG, add your .heic photos and press Convert. PNG output is lossless — no quality slider needed. Files up to 30 MB each.
Everything happens in your browser — closing this tab removes everything. EXIF data such as GPS location is not carried into the converted file.
How do I convert HEIC to PNG?
No software to install and nothing to upload. The whole conversion takes a few seconds per photo.
Add your HEIC photos
Drag and drop up to 20 .heic or .heif files into the box above, click to browse, or paste them straight from your clipboard.
Keep PNG selected
PNG is the default here because it is lossless — there is no quality slider to get wrong. What comes out matches the decoded photo pixel for pixel.
Convert and download
Press Convert, then download each PNG on its own or grab everything at once in a single ZIP file.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
HEIC is a clever format — it stores the same photo in about half the space of JPG. The trouble starts when the photo leaves your iPhone: Windows PCs, upload forms, email clients, printers and older apps often cannot open HEIC at all. PNG solves that and goes further: it is lossless, so you can edit and re-save a PNG over and over without quality drift, and it supports transparency. That makes HEIC to PNG the right conversion whenever a photo is headed for editing software, a design tool, or any workflow where every pixel matters. If you just need the smallest file for sharing, convert HEIC to JPG instead.
🔒 Private by design
Most online converters upload your photos to their servers. JPGDrop converts in your browser, so personal photos never leave your device.
⚡ Fast batch conversion
Convert a whole camera roll at once — up to 20 files per batch — then download everything together as one ZIP.
🎯 Lossless, no sliders
PNG has no quality setting to get wrong — the output is a pixel-perfect copy of the decoded photo, ready for editing.
🖼️ Transparency-ready
If a HEIC carries an alpha channel, it is written into the PNG. Most iPhone camera photos are opaque, so expect a solid image.
🆓 Free, with no catches
No sign-up, no daily limits, no watermarks, no credits. The tool runs on your device, so it costs us nothing to let you use it freely.
📱 Works on every device
Use it on the same iPhone that took the photo, a Windows PC, a Mac, or an Android phone — any modern browser will do.

Limitations
- Only the main image inside a HEIC file is converted — Live Photo motion and Portrait depth data cannot be represented in PNG.
- PNG files are bigger — typically 2–3× the HEIC size. For the smallest shareable file, use our HEIC to JPG converter.
- EXIF metadata (including location and camera details) is not preserved in the converted file.
- Decoding HEIC is processor-heavy, so very large photos can take a few seconds each, and older phones are slower.
Troubleshooting
- A file failed to convert. It may be a corrupted HEIC or a variant your browser cannot decode. Try a smaller batch, or open the photo on your iPhone and re-export it.
- The PNG is much bigger than I expected. That is normal — PNG is lossless. Switch the output to JPG on this page if file size matters more.
- Transparency did not appear. iPhone camera shots are opaque, so they convert to solid PNGs. Only HEICs that actually contain an alpha channel produce transparent PNGs.
- The tab feels slow. HEIC decoding uses your device's processor. Close other heavy tabs and convert in smaller batches.
