## About

Turn iPhone HEIC photos into lossless PNG for editing pipelines and tools that refuse HEIC — decoded locally in your browser.

## Quick answer

How do I convert HEIC to PNG? Add your .heic or .heif file and download the PNG. The conversion is lossless, transparency is preserved, and the decoder runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

## How to convert HEIC to PNG

1. **Add your HEIC or HEIF file** — the decoder loads once per visit and runs offline afterwards.
2. **Convert** — pixels are exported losslessly with transparency preserved.
3. **Download the PNG** — ready for editors and pipelines that expect PNG.

## When PNG beats JPG for HEIC output

- Editing workflows that need a lossless starting point
- Design tools and print shops that insist on PNG
- Keeping alpha transparency through the conversion

## Good to know

Expect a big file — lossless storage is the point, not a bug. And remember: converting does not recover detail the HEIC already discarded; PNG just stops further losses. For a smaller, universally-supported file instead, use [HEIC to JPG](https://toolpantry.app/heic-to-jpg.html), then compress with the [target-size compressor](https://toolpantry.app/compress-image-to-100kb.html) if a portal has limits.

## Notes

PNG is lossless, so the output will be several times larger than the HEIC. Transparency is preserved; burst photos convert their primary image.

## FAQ

**Why convert HEIC to PNG instead of JPG?**

PNG is lossless and keeps transparency — better as an editing starting point or when a tool demands PNG. The trade-off is a much larger file.

**Is the photo uploaded?**

No. The decoder runs in your browser and the photo never leaves your device.
