Free Online HEIC to PNG Converter

Convert your iPhone photos to lossless PNGs. Perfect for high-quality editing and designs requiring transparency.

1

Upload HEIC

Select HEIC/HEIF images from your device. We handle files up to 50MB with ease.

2

Auto Convert

Our engine processes the file instantly, preserving full color fidelity and detail.

3

Download PNG

Save your lossless PNG files. Ready for editing in Photoshop or sharing online.

Why PNG?

Unlike JPG, PNG compression is lossless. This means no "blocky" artifacts, making it ideal for text, logos, and high-detail photography edits.

Professional Grade

Features for High-Fidelity Results

We ensure that converting your file doesn't mean compromising on quality.

Transparency Preservation

If your HEIC has a transparent background, our converter keeps it intact in the PNG output.

Lossless Quality

Get exact pixel-for-pixel fidelity. Ideal for archiving or professional editing workflows.

Wide Color Support

Correctly handles Apple's P3 color profiles, converting them to sRGB for web compatibility without looking washed out.

Cloud Powered

Complex decoding happens on our servers, so your phone or laptop stays fast and cool.

Lossless Precision
Pixel by Pixel.

Converting HEIC to PNG isn't just about compatibility; it's about preservation. PNG is a lossless format, meaning we can translate the complex data from your iPhone's sensor into a format that loses absolutely nothing.

Our backend utilizes a high-fidelity HEIF decoding pipeline that runs on isolated cloud instances. This allows us to extract every sub-pixel of color detail and map it perfectly to the PNG spectrum, ensuring your images remain crisp and editable.

Following our "Secure & Purge" protocol, your data is handled in volatile memory. We don't just delete files; we ensure they never touch a permanent storage disk during processing.

HEIC vs PNG: The Quality Battle

**HEIC** creates incredibly small files using advanced compression, but it discards some data (lossy). **PNG**, however, creates a bit-for-bit perfect representation of the image data (lossless).

For everyday viewing, HEIC is efficient. But if you are **editing images**, adding overlays, or dealing with text, every time you save a lossy format (like JPG or HEIC), you lose more quality.

Converting to **PNG** stops this degradation. It is the gold standard for web graphics and intermediate editing steps because saving it over and over again will never reduce its quality.

How We Handle Color Profiles

One of the biggest challenges in converting iPhone photos is the color profile. iPhones take photos in **Display P3**, a wide color gamut that covers 25% more colors than standard sRGB.

  • Profile Mapping: Our engine detects the P3 profile and carefully maps it to the nearest sRGB equivalents for web safety, or embeds the ICC profile to keep the full range on supported monitors.
  • Gamma Correction: We ensure the brightness levels (gamma) are translated correctly so your nice bright outdoor photos don't end up looking dark.

Quick Definitions

Lossless

Compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed.

P3 Gamut

A color space used by Apple and digital cinema that is much wider than standard sRGB.

Deflate

The compression algorithm used by PNG. It is efficient but slower to encode than simple methods.

Metadata

Hidden data in the file describing settings, location, and copyright info.

Alpha

The channel defining how transparent a pixel is (0 to 100%).

HEIF

High Efficiency Image File Format - the standard behind .heic extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy-First Architecture

Your Data Never
Leaves Your Control.

Most converters trade your data for the service. We do the opposite. Our engine is designed on a "Volatile-Memory" principle—once your PNG is downloaded, the session is cryptographically purged.

2-Hour Auto-Delete

Files are automatically and permanently wiped from our secure servers after 2 hours.

End-to-End Encryption

Using TLS 1.3 and military-grade SSL encryption, your files are protected from the moment they leave your device.
