Convert iPhone HEIC photos to lossless PNG that opens on Windows, Android, and the web. PNG keeps every pixel and supports transparency, making it ideal when you need a sharp, editable copy of an iPhone photo rather than a compressed JPG.
HEIC to PNG converts an iPhone photo into a lossless image that opens anywhere and keeps every pixel. Unlike a JPG conversion, PNG throws nothing away — which matters when you intend to edit, annotate or crop the shot repeatedly — and it supports transparency, useful for screenshots and graphics rather than ordinary photos.
Choose this direction over HEIC-to-JPG when you need an editable master or are feeding the image into design software that rejects HEIC. Expect a large file — lossless PNG of a detailed photo is several times the HEIC — so for a simple WhatsApp share or a portal upload, JPG is the lighter pick.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format iPhone uses since iOS 11. It stores roughly half the bytes of a JPG at the same quality, but Windows, Android, and most websites refuse to open it. Converting HEIC to JPG is one of the most-searched image conversions for that reason.
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.
Drop a HEIC file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the HEIC you want to convert.
The output is pre-set to PNG.
Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the HEIC, scan it for malware (video and audio over 1 GB are not scanned), and run the HEIC → PNG pipeline.
A download link appears as soon as the PNG is ready; it works for anyone who has it until the file is deleted. The file is deleted from our storage two hours after it was made (longer for very large files or with a pass), normally within the next 15 minutes.
