Convert HEIC to PNG
Quick answer
What to expect
Output is a lossless PNG at full original resolution, typically 3–6× the HEIC file size. If the goal is just sharing iPhone photos, convert to JPG instead: PNG earns its size only for screenshots, documents, or images you plan to edit further.
What changes in this conversion
Use this before converting to check whether the output keeps the capability you need.
| Property | HEIC source | PNG output |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | Format-dependent | Full alpha |
| Motion | No | No |
| Compatibility | Strong on Apple devices; inconsistent elsewhere | Broad support across browsers and image tools |
| Best suited to | Compact phone photos | Screenshots, graphics, and transparent assets |
| Main tradeoff | Often needs conversion before editing or sharing | Lossless files can be large for photographs |
How to finish the conversion
- 01
Open the converter
Use the drop zone here or app.fastedit.net. Runs in any modern browser, including Safari on the iPhone that took the shots.
- 02
Drop HEIC files
Drag in .heic or .heif files. Select multiple files to convert a batch with shared settings.
- 03
PNG is pre-selected
This page opens the editor with PNG output ready. No quality slider applies: PNG encoding is lossless by definition.
- 04
Optionally resize first
If the PNG will be too large for its destination, reduce dimensions before export. Downscaling once, losslessly, beats compressing later.
- 05
Export
Download the PNGs. Decoding and encoding both run on your device: the photos never leave the tab.
Benefits
- Lossless output: text, UI elements, and line art stay crisp instead of gaining JPG ringing artifacts.
- The right master for further editing: crop, annotate, or redact and re-export without compounding compression loss.
- Full resolution preserved; no automatic downscaling like many web converters apply.
- Batch conversion turns a whole album of HEIC screenshots into PNGs in one pass.
- Nothing is uploaded: document scans, IDs, and receipts stay on your device.
