About the HEIC to PNG Converter
This HEIC to PNG converter turns photos from HEIC into PNG without installing software or uploading anything. It solves a common problem: Windows PCs, many Android phones and most upload portals cannot open HEIC photos. Converting to PNG gives you lossless quality with transparency, ideal for screenshots, logos, icons, charts and any image that needs a transparent background.
The converter decodes your HEIC with your browser's own image engine and writes the PNG with the built-in canvas encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your photos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: PNG stores the pixels without further quality loss; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the HEIC to PNG Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your HEIC photos onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting; leave it empty to keep the original size.
- Press "Convert to PNG". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each PNG file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in every browser or Windows Photos to check it; your original HEIC is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- PNG is lossless, so the result will look identical to the source; photos may become noticeably larger than the original.
- Converting a compressed HEIC to PNG will not bring back detail that was already discarded; it simply prevents further loss when you edit.
- iPhone users can avoid HEIC altogether: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera save JPG photos.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the PNG to a website or government portal.

What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default since iOS 11. It stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG at the same quality, but many Windows PCs, websites and government portals still refuse to open it.
What is a PNG file?
PNG was designed in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It stores every pixel exactly, supports millions of colours and full alpha transparency, which is why screenshots, logos and interface graphics are usually PNG files.
