HEIC to PNG Converter

HEIC is the space-saving photo format iPhones capture by default, but it’s awkward to use outside the Apple ecosystem. This tool converts your HEIC photos into lossless PNGs that open everywhere and support an alpha channel for editing. Keep in mind HEIC decoding is browser-dependent and works reliably in Safari and on iOS.

Why use this converter?

PNG is the right target when you want a lossless, edit-friendly copy of an iPhone photo — there are no JPEG artifacts and you get a clean canvas for masking or adding transparency. It’s ideal for design work, screenshots layered over other graphics, or any time you’d rather preserve detail than shrink the file. The conversion happens entirely in your browser through built-in Web APIs, so nothing is uploaded and your photos stay on your device. One important note: HEIC decoding depends on your OS and browser — it works in Safari and on iOS, but most desktop Chrome and Firefox builds can’t decode HEIC, and when that happens the tool displays a clear message directing you to Safari or iOS instead of just failing. There’s no quality slider because PNG output is always lossless.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HEIC file?

HEIC is the photo format Apple devices use by default, based on the HEIF standard. It packs high-quality images into small files, but its limited support outside Apple platforms is why people convert it to formats like PNG.

Is my file private and secure?

Completely. Your file is processed 100% inside your browser using the Web APIs built into your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server — imgic never sees, stores, or transmits your images. You can even use these tools offline once the page has loaded.

Why doesn’t HEIC work in my browser?

HEIC relies on system codecs that only some platforms include. Safari and iOS decode it natively, while most desktop versions of Chrome and Firefox cannot. If your browser can’t decode the file, the tool will let you know and recommend trying Safari or an iPhone or iPad.

Does the PNG keep transparency?

PNG fully supports an alpha channel, so the converted file is ready for transparency-based editing. The HEIC source photo itself is opaque, but the PNG gives you a lossless base to work from.

Is this converter free?

Yes, entirely free. No sign-up, no app download, and no watermark added to your PNG files.
