Why convert HEIC to PNG?

HEIC is efficient; PNG is universal and lossless. That combination is exactly why people convert HEIC to PNG: you keep every pixel of the decoded photo, and the result opens in literally everything — every Windows app, every Android phone, every image editor, every upload form — with no codec downloads and no compatibility roulette. The use cases cluster around quality: editing iPhone photos in Photoshop or Lightroom (which handle PNG natively), preparing images for print, archiving masters you may re-edit later, and uploading to sites that accept PNG but choke on HEIC.

The trade is honest and worth stating up front: a PNG runs roughly 3–5× the size of the HEIC it came from. HEIC achieves its tiny files with aggressive modern compression; PNG refuses to throw away a single pixel, so it needs more bytes to say the same thing. You are buying pixel-perfection with file size. When size matters more than absolute fidelity — sharing, emailing, posting — convert HEIC to JPG instead and pocket the smaller files.

HEIC to PNG without losing quality

"Without losing quality" is precisely what PNG guarantees: the format is lossless by design, so the PNG is a pixel-perfect record of the decoded HEIC. What it cannot do is reach back in time — your iPhone's HEIC was already lossy-compressed when it was saved, and the fine detail discarded then is gone for every format, PNG included. Think of it this way: converting HEIC→PNG loses nothing further; converting HEIC→JPG would lose a little more with each save. If the photo will be edited, filtered, or re-saved multiple times, PNG is the right container because repeated JPG saves accumulate damage while PNG stays pristine.

HEIC to PNG vs HEIC to JPG: which one?

Same source, different destinations, different jobs:

PNG — lossless, pixel-perfect, large files. For editing, printing, archiving, and any workflow where the image will be re-saved.
JPG — lossy but tiny, universal. For sharing, uploading, emailing, and anything viewed on screen where a few percent quality difference is invisible.

A practical rule: if the photo's journey ends at someone's eyes (a share, a post, an attachment), JPG wins. If its journey continues into software (an editor, a print lab, an archive), PNG wins. Many people do both — PNG masters for the archive, JPG copies for the world — and this site's HEIC to JPG converter handles the second half with the same no-upload privacy.

Batch convert HEIC to PNG

iPhone photo problems never arrive one at a time — a vacation, a wedding, an iCloud dump means hundreds of HEICs. This converter takes the whole batch: drop them all on the page, convert once, download each PNG individually or as a single ZIP. No file-count caps, no queues, no "come back tomorrow" — because everything decodes on your own device, there is nothing to ration. Expect the ZIP to be hefty (remember the 3–5× size rule); that is normal for lossless.

iPhone HEIC to PNG

Your iPhone creates HEICs because, since iOS 11, it is the default camera format — same visible quality at roughly half the JPG size, so more photos fit on the phone. To stop the format at the source, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible and the iPhone shoots JPG directly (bigger files, zero conversion ever again). To convert on the iPhone itself, just open this page in Safari: add the HEICs from your photo library and download the PNGs — no app install, no iCloud round-trip. iOS 16+ can also convert single images via the Files app (Quick Actions → Convert Image), but for batches the browser is faster.

A note on transparency and metadata

Two honest footnotes. Transparency: PNG supports it, but iPhone HEIC photos are fully opaque — converting doesn't conjure an alpha channel from nothing. The PNG will be a perfectly good opaque image; transparency only enters the picture if you later edit one in.

Metadata: like its JPG sibling, this converter keeps every pixel at full quality but drops EXIF data (capture date, GPS, camera settings) during conversion. If the metadata matters — photographers, archivists — keep the original HEIC files next to the PNGs.

How it works

Add photos

Drop one HEIC or a whole batch into the box above — or click to browse. Files are read locally; nothing is uploaded.

Convert

Hit Convert to PNG. Each photo decodes right in your browser, one after another, with live progress. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality setting to agonize over.

Download

Download each PNG individually, or grab the whole batch as one ZIP. Repeat for as many photos as you like — no limits.

Tips

Pick PNG for editing, JPG for sharing. The formats are complements, not rivals — masters as PNG, copies for the world as JPG.
Expect big files. A 2 MB HEIC becomes a 6–10 MB PNG. That is the lossless price; it is not a bug.
Convert from the original HEIC. If your phone already converted the photo once, converting that copy again can't recover anything. Always work from the original .HEIC.
Keep the HEIC masters too. The HEIC is the smallest full-quality original — archive it, and generate PNGs as working copies for editing and uploading.
Need smaller PNGs afterward? If a PNG is too heavy for its destination, compress the image — or reconsider whether JPG would do the job.
Stop future conversions at the source. iPhone Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible shoots JPG directly — no conversion needed ever again.

Common uses

Photo editing — Photoshop, Lightroom and GIMP all open PNG natively; HEIC support is still patchy.
Printing — print labs and their upload systems were built for PNG/JPG, not HEIC.
Upload forms that reject HEIC — government portals, applications, and CMSs that only accept standard formats.
Windows & Android sharing — send photos anyone can open, no codec downloads.
Archiving edit-ready masters — PNGs you can re-save forever without accumulating compression damage.
Design work — compositing iPhone shots into graphics where lossless pixels matter.

Frequently asked questions

Is HEIC to PNG free to use without signup?

Yes. EzySize’s HEIC to PNG tool is free to use without creating an account. Advertising may appear on this page; the tool remains free to use. Use the controls above and check the result against your requirements.

How do I convert HEIC to PNG?

Drop your .heic file (or a whole batch) onto this page and hit Convert to PNG. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your photos never upload to a server. Download each PNG individually or all of them as one ZIP. No account, no watermark, no software to install.

Will converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?

No. PNG is a lossless format: every pixel of the decoded HEIC is preserved exactly. One honest caveat — the HEIC file itself was already lossy-compressed by your iPhone, so the PNG preserves the decode perfectly but cannot restore detail the HEIC never stored.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

Because PNG is lossless and HEIC is extremely efficient lossy compression — typically the PNG runs 3–5× the HEIC's size. That is the price of pixel-perfect quality: you are trading file size for zero compression artifacts. If size matters more than absolute fidelity, convert to JPG instead.

Can I convert multiple HEIC files to PNG at once?

Yes — this tool is built for batches. Drop a whole camera roll on the page, convert once, and download each PNG individually or grab everything as a single ZIP. Because everything runs locally in your browser, there are no file-count limits and no queues.

Does the PNG keep transparency?

There is no transparency to keep: iPhone HEIC photos are fully opaque images. PNG supports transparency in general, so if you later edit the PNG in Photoshop to add transparent areas, the format handles it — but the conversion itself doesn't create transparency from nothing.

Does converting HEIC to PNG keep EXIF metadata?

Not currently — the PNG keeps every pixel at full quality, but metadata like capture date and GPS is dropped during conversion. If the metadata matters to you (photographers, archivists), keep the original HEIC files alongside the PNGs.

HEIC to PNG or HEIC to JPG — which should I choose?

Choose PNG when quality is non-negotiable: photo editing, printing, archiving masters. Choose JPG when size matters: sharing, uploading, emailing — a JPG is a fraction of the PNG's size and looks identical on screen. This site's HEIC to JPG converter covers the other path.

Will the PNG open on Windows?

Yes — that is the whole point. PNG has been universally supported for 25+ years: every version of Windows, Android, macOS, browser, editor and upload form opens it without any codec or extra software.

Does this tool upload my photos anywhere?

No. The entire conversion happens inside your browser using a local decoding library — your photos never leave your device. That is exactly why batch conversion is unlimited here: there is no server to ration.

Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?

Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) because it stores the same quality at roughly half the file size of JPG — saving storage space. You can switch the camera back to JPG in Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible, but HEIC remains the default.

Can I convert HEIC to PNG on my iPhone itself?

Yes — open this page in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone, add the HEIC photos from your library, and download the PNGs. iOS 16+ can also convert single images via Files > Quick Actions, but for batches the browser converter is faster.

What if the converter says my file is not a genuine HEIC?

The file is probably mislabeled — a JPG or PNG renamed to .heic will not decode, because renaming changes only the label, not the data inside. Check the file's real format (on Mac: Get Info; on Windows: Details tab) and convert from the genuine original.
