What does converting HEIC to PNG mean?
HEIC is the default photo format used by iPhones since iOS 11, based on the HEIF container, while PNG is a lossless raster format that preserves every pixel exactly, including transparency. Converting HEIC to PNG is fast and free with Pixvert. All processing happens locally in your browser.
HEIC achieves excellent compression — roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG — but has limited compatibility outside Apple's ecosystem, which is why converting to a more universal format is often necessary.
PNG uses lossless compression, so zero image data is discarded, which makes it the standard choice for logos, icons, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges or transparency. The tradeoff is larger file sizes for photographic content compared to lossy formats.

When to convert HEIC to PNG
Preparing HEIC files for logos, icons, and graphics with transparency
Convert HEIC images to PNG when your project specifically calls for logos, icons, and graphics with transparency.
Reducing file size
If PNG compresses better than HEIC for your content, converting can significantly cut storage and bandwidth needs.
Improving compatibility
Some platforms and software only accept certain formats — converting to PNG ensures your HEIC files open everywhere they need to.
Batch migrating a library
Convert a whole folder of HEIC images to PNG at once instead of opening each file individually in an editor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting HEIC to PNG reduce image quality?
Since PNG is a lossless format, no additional quality is lost during this conversion. If your original HEIC file was already compressed with quality loss, that original loss can't be recovered, but nothing further is discarded.
Does PNG support transparency?
Yes, PNG supports transparency, so any transparent areas in your HEIC file are preserved in the converted image.
Is it safe to convert my images here?
Yes. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — your files are never uploaded to a server.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes, drop several files at once and click Convert All — every file is processed and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit set by Pixvert, but very large files depend on your device's available memory to process smoothly.
Can I use the converted images commercially?
Yes, Pixvert only changes the file format — it does not alter your rights over the image or add any watermark.
