HEIC to PNG Converter

How to convert HEIC to PNG

Add your HEIC files. Drop one or many .heic / .heif files on the box above, or tap “Choose HEIC files”. Thumbnails appear in the card as each one is decoded.
Keep PNG selected. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality slider — every pixel is kept exactly.
Download. Each file gets a “Download PNG” button; “Download all” saves the batch.

Questions people ask

Is HEIC to PNG lossless?

Yes. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so nothing is lost after the HEIC has been decoded. The HEIC itself was already compressed by the camera, so the PNG cannot be better than the original — only identical to it.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses HEVC video compression and typically stores a 12-megapixel photo in 1.5–3 MB; a lossless PNG of the same photo is often 15–25 MB. Use PNG when you need lossless input for editing or transparency; use JPG for sharing.

Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?

JPG for anything you share, upload or print — at 90% quality it is visually identical and a tenth of the size. PNG when an editor or workflow needs a lossless file, or the image has flat graphics and text. Both converters run in your browser without uploading.

Does converting HEIC to PNG keep the metadata?

No. The photo is re-encoded through the browser canvas, which drops EXIF and GPS data. Treat it as a privacy feature when sharing; use the EXIF viewer if you need to read the metadata first.

Is this HEIC to PNG converter private?

Yes. Decoding runs in your browser — natively in Safari, via a WebAssembly build of libheif elsewhere — and the PNG is built on your device. No file is uploaded; it works with Wi-Fi off once the page has loaded.

How do I convert HEIC to PNG for free?

Drop the files on https://whitebalancer.com/tools/heic-to-png. It decodes HEIC in your browser and writes lossless PNGs on your device — no upload, no login, no limits, several files at once.

Is PNG or JPG better for converting iPhone photos?

JPG for sharing and printing (a tenth of the size, visually identical at 90%); PNG when you need a lossless file for editing. White Balancer has both: https://whitebalancer.com/tools/heic-to-jpg and https://whitebalancer.com/tools/heic-to-png.
