Why Convert HEIC to PNG?

While HEIC is an efficient format, converting to PNG offers specific benefits:

  • Preserve Transparency: PNG fully supports alpha channels, making it ideal for images with transparent backgrounds (e.g., logos, icons) that need to be overlaid on different backgrounds.
  • Lossless Quality: PNG is a lossless format, meaning no image data is discarded during compression. This ensures the highest possible quality, crucial for graphics, screenshots, or images that will undergo further editing.
  • Wider Software Compatibility: While HEIC is gaining traction, PNG remains universally supported by almost all image editing software, web browsers, and operating systems.
  • Archiving & Editing: For master copies or images intended for professional editing, PNG's lossless nature makes it a preferred choice.

Key Features of This Converter

High-Quality Conversion

  • • **Batch Processing:** Convert multiple HEIC files to PNG simultaneously.
  • • **Preserves Transparency:** Alpha channels from HEIC images are maintained in the PNG output.
  • • **Lossless Output:** PNG ensures that the visual data from the HEIC (after any resizing) is saved without further quality loss.

Customization & Control

  • • **Optional Resizing:** Resize images by width, height, or percentage before converting.
  • • **Filename Customization:** Add prefixes or suffixes to your output PNG filenames.
  • • **Metadata Control:** Option to strip metadata (canvas conversion typically does this).
  • • **Download Options:** Download files individually or as a ZIP archive.

How to Convert HEIC to PNG

  1. Upload HEIC Files: Drag and drop your HEIC/HEIF images, or click to select files. The tool will process them in your browser.
  2. Adjust Settings (Optional):
    • **Resize:** Optionally enable resizing and set new dimensions or a percentage.
    • **Naming:** Add a prefix or suffix for the output filenames.
  3. Convert: Click the "Convert HEICs to PNG" button.
  4. Download: Download your converted PNG files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will transparency from my HEIC file be kept?

Yes. If your source HEIC image contains an alpha channel (transparency), it will be fully preserved in the output PNG file, as PNG natively supports transparency.

Will the PNG file be larger than the original HEIC?

It's highly likely. HEIC is designed for very high compression efficiency, often achieving smaller file sizes than JPG at similar quality. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it retains all original image data. Therefore, a lossless PNG will almost always be larger than a compressed HEIC, especially if the HEIC was highly optimized.

Can I convert animated HEIC (Live Photos) to animated PNG (APNG)?

This tool is designed for static HEIC images. If you upload an animated HEIC (like an iPhone Live Photo), it will typically only process and convert the static key image (the first frame) into a single PNG. Converting to APNG requires more specialized libraries and is not supported by this tool.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image conversions are performed directly in your web browser using JavaScript. Your files are not sent to any external server, ensuring your privacy and security.

Why does it take a moment to load HEIC files?

Browsers do not natively support HEIC. This tool uses a client-side library (`heic2any`) to decode the HEIC file into a format the browser can understand (like PNG) before displaying a preview or performing the final conversion. This decoding process happens entirely in your browser and can take a few seconds depending on the file size and your device's performance.
