Convert HEIC/HEIF photos from iPhones to lossless PNG format entirely in your browser — your photos never leave your device. This tool fully supports HEIC transparantie and outputs lossless PNG that opens natively on Windows, in design software, and in office documents. Whether you need lossless quality for editing, transparant backgrounds preserved, or universal compatibility across all systems, converting HEIC to PNG delivers pristine results without installing iCloud or HEVC extensions.

Toepassingsgevallen

  • HEIC photos taken on iPhone need editing in Photoshop, Lightroom, or other design software — convert to PNG for lossless opening.
  • HEIC screenshots and document photos need to be inserted into PPT/Word where PNG offers best compatibility and sharp text.
  • iPhone portrait mode or edited photos with transparency effects need alpha preserved — convert to PNG for full alpha channel retention.
  • Windows PCs can't open HEIC photos natively — convert to PNG for viewing in the default Photos app.
  • Precious photos and important ID pictures need long-term lossless archiving — PNG is more cross-platform than HEIC.
  • HEIC photos need importing into Figma, Sketch, or other design tools as source material where PNG is a standard format.
  • E-commerce product photos shot on iPhone in HEIC format — convert to PNG for detail pages to avoid compression artifacts.
  • Print shops don't support HEIC and require high-quality output — PNG lossless format produces better print results.
  • HEIC photos need to be viewed on older Android phones, smart TVs, or legacy devices where PNG compatibility is better.
  • Static HEIC images exported from Live Photos need further editing and processing — PNG lossless format preserves quality.
  • Adding text, watermarks, or overlays to HEIC photos — PNG supports repeated editing and saving without quality degradation.
  • Online submissions require PNG format without quality compression — convert HEIC ID photos and document images for submission.

Hoe te gebruiken

  1. Click the upload area to select a HEIC/HEIF file, or drag iPhone photos directly onto the page. Only .heic/.heif formats accepted.
  2. Local decoding starts automatically in the browser after file selection — photos are never uploaded to any server.
  3. Wait for the progress bar to complete. Large-resolution photos may take a few seconds.
  4. Preview the converted PNG dimensions and file size, then click download to save to your computer.

Veelgestelde vragen

Will converting HEIC to PNG reduce image quality?

No additional quality loss occurs. PNG is a lossless compressie format — this tool preserves all pixel information from the decoded HEIC, with no new compressie artifacts or detail loss. Note that HEIC itself is lossy, so existing compressie losses cannot be recovered.

Will HEIC transparant backgrounds be preserved?

Yes, fully preserved. This tool correctly parses alpha transparantie channels in HEIC format and converts to PNG with normal transparant results — no black or white fill issues.

Why is the file so much larger after converting to PNG?

This is normal. HEIC has extremely high compressie — about 50% smaller than JPG — while PNG uses lossless compressie. Bestandsgroottes are typically 3-8x larger than HEIC. If you don't need transparantie or lossless quality, convert to JPG for much smaller files.

Are HEIC photos uploadened to a server? Is it private?

Absolutely no uploadens. This tool uses the heic2any library to decode HEIC locally in the browser, then encodes to PNG via Web Workers. Your photos stay on your device the entire time and are never sent to any external server. Processing private photos and ID pictures is completely safe.

Can Live Photos be converted?

The static HEIC image portion of Live Photos can be converted, but the dynamic video portion will not be converted. If you only need the still photo, it works perfectly.

Is batch conversion of multiple HEIC files supported?

Currently one HEIC photo is processed at a time for browser-side processing stability. Process photos one by one for multiple conversions. Batch functionality may be added in future versions based on demand.

What's the difference between HEIC and HEIF? Is HEIF supported?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is the general format specification, while HEIC is the specific container variant that Apple uses. This tool supports both .heic and .heif file extensions.

The PNG is too large after conversion — what can I do?

Use the [image compressor](/image/compress/) to losslessly compress PNG files. If you don't need a transparant background, converting to JPG format will produce much smaller bestandsgroottes.
