Everything happens in this browser, so your images never leave your computer. PNGs are compressed with libimagequant and OxiPNG, JPGs with Google's JPEGli, and every result is scored with SSIMULACRA 2, the quality metric from Cloudinary and JPEG XL.
This free HEIC to PNG converter turns iPhone photos into PNGs with every pixel kept, for editing, printing or apps that want PNG.
It works in your browser and uploads nothing.
Here's what a HEIC to PNG converter does, when to use one, and how this one did against CloudConvert.
What is a HEIC to PNG converter?
A HEIC to PNG converter turns a HEIC image into a PNG file: the same picture, in a format that opens somewhere else.
This one works in your browser, and gives every file a score that shows how close it looks to the original.
When to convert HEIC to PNG
Pick PNG when you'll edit the photo again or need it with nothing lost. For sharing, a JPG is a tenth of the size and looks the same.
A PNG keeps every pixel of the photo your iPhone decoded, so editing it later adds no new loss. The catch is size: a photo as PNG is many times bigger than the HEIC.
Compared with CloudConvert
I converted the same HEIC files here and with CloudConvert, at each one's default settings. Then I scored every result against its original:
- Original
- 8.3 MB
- CloudConvert
- 44.8 MB, score 87.9
- This converter
- 37.4 MB, score 87.1
- Original
- 271 KB
- CloudConvert
- 2.2 MB, score 90.4
- This converter
- 1.8 MB, score 89.5
- Original
- 50 KB
- CloudConvert
- 439 KB, score 88.1
- This converter
- 367 KB, score 87.4
Both converters kept every pixel they decoded, and this converter's PNGs were 16% to 18% smaller, packed tighter by OxiPNG.
Against Apple's own decoder, both scored 87 to 90, CloudConvert's about a point higher. An iPhone photo stores its color at half size, and each decoder fills it in its own way.
How I tested
I tested on September 29, 2026. I saved 3 pictures as HEIC with macOS's own encoder, at quality 80: the 29-megapixel golden retriever photo, a dark 6-megapixel portrait and Kodak test photo 23.
The score is SSIMULACRA 2, a metric from Cloudinary that compares two pictures the way your eye does:
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 90 and up | Looks identical: no difference even flicking between them at 100% |
| 80 to 90 | Same side by side at 100% |
| 70 to 80 | High quality: hard to notice without comparing |
| 50 to 70 | Medium quality: you can see it up close |
| Under 50 | Visible loss |
Who is the HEIC to PNG converter for?
It's for iPhone owners who need a picture with nothing lost:
- HEIC to JPG – anyone who'd rather have small JPGs that open anywhere
- PNG compressor – anyone making the PNG smaller after
- Image background remover – anyone cutting the subject out of an iPhone photo
- Image resizer – anyone who needs fewer pixels for a site or a post
It works in your browser, and the new file leaves out hidden details like the camera and where a photo was taken.
