This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and you can even turn off your internet connection before you start.
How it works
- Drop .heic or .heif files onto the box, or choose them from your device.
- On first use a small WebAssembly HEIC decoder is downloaded once. Later conversions run entirely on your device.
- There is nothing to tune: PNG is lossless, so every decoded pixel is stored exactly. The quality slider has no effect on PNG output.
- Press Convert to PNG and download the files separately or as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
- When should I choose PNG instead of JPG for HEIC?
- Choose PNG when you plan to edit the image further, paste it into a document or presentation, or when the picture is a screenshot, diagram or drawing with sharp edges and text. JPG would add compression artefacts on every save; PNG never does.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. The HEIC file is decoded by a WebAssembly decoder in your browser and re-encoded as PNG on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
- Why is the PNG so much larger than the HEIC?
- HEIC uses the HEVC video codec and typically compresses a photo to 1-3 MB. PNG stores pixels losslessly, so the same 12-megapixel photo can be 20-30 MB. For sharing photos, HEIC to JPG produces far smaller files.
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes. HEIC images with an alpha channel, such as some screenshots and stickers, keep their transparency in PNG. JPG would fill it with white.
- What are the free limits?
- The free plan allows 3 files per run, 20 MB per file and 10 runs per day. Pro removes these limits.
