What is the HEIC to PNG tool?
HEIC to PNG converts iPhone photos into lossless PNG files, free and entirely inside your browser — your photos are never uploaded to a server. HEIC is the space-saving format iPhones shoot by default, and it works fine until you need the image somewhere Apple's format won't open: a Windows PC, an older design tool, a website upload form. Converting to PNG gives you a file that opens everywhere and, unlike JPG, loses nothing along the way.
PNG is the right target when the picture is headed for editing or design work. It is a lossless format: every pixel of the decoded HEIC is preserved exactly, with no compression artifacts added — ideal for screenshots, graphics, images with text, or photos you plan to retouch and re-save several times. The trade-off is size: a PNG of a normal photo is noticeably larger than a JPG. If you just want to share pictures, the HEIC to JPG converter produces smaller files that are easier to send.
Like every Carbide converter, this one runs on your device. The HEIC file is decoded locally and re-encoded as PNG right in your browser — nothing leaves it, and there is no sign-up, no watermark and no file cap. It works on your phone as well as on a desktop, and batch conversion is built in: drop several photos at once and they download together as a single zip.
How to use the HEIC to PNG
- Open the HEIC to PNG converter — From is preset to HEIC and the target to PNG.
- Click «Choose images» or drop your .heic files into the drop zone; several at once is fine.
- Press «Convert» — PNG is lossless, so there is no quality slider to worry about.
- The PNG downloads automatically; a batch of photos arrives as one zip file.
- Open or edit the PNG anywhere — Windows, Android, browsers and design tools all support it.
Frequently asked questions
Should I convert iPhone photos to JPG or PNG?
For sharing and everyday photos, JPG — files are much smaller and the quality difference is invisible. For editing, design work, screenshots or anything you'll re-save repeatedly, PNG — it's lossless, so quality never degrades. Both converters work the same way here.
Does converting HEIC to PNG lose any quality?
No. PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel decoded from your HEIC file is stored exactly as-is. Nothing is compressed away and no artifacts are added.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than my HEIC file?
That's expected. HEIC uses strong lossy compression; PNG stores the image without loss, which costs space — often several times the original size for photos. If size matters more than perfect fidelity, convert to JPG or WebP instead.
Are my photos uploaded during the conversion?
No. The HEIC file is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser on your own device. Your photos never leave it — no server is involved at any point.
Is this free? Is there a limit on photos?
Yes, it's completely free — no sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit. Because processing is local, only your device's memory limits very large batches.
Can I open a HEIC file on Windows without converting?
Sometimes — recent Windows versions can open HEIC after installing Microsoft's HEVC/HEIF extensions, but many apps still won't accept the file. Converting to PNG (or JPG) is the reliable fix that works everywhere without installing anything.
