01Why this converter
HEIC to PNG, focused.
Four reasons people drop a HEIC here instead of opening a desktop app or trusting a random upload site.
- 01
Built just for HEIC to PNG
One focused page — drop a HEIC, get PNG. No format picker to set, no settings to tweak unless you want quality control. HEIC decoding runs locally via heic2any in WebAssembly — no Apple device needed.
- 02
In-browser conversion
Conversion runs locally using the Canvas API and a WebAssembly decoder for HEIC. Even a 50 MB image is done in a couple of seconds on a normal laptop.
- 03
PNG is lossless and transparency-friendly
PNG keeps every pixel exactly. Transparency is preserved — useful for logos, icons, and screenshots with cutouts. Best when fidelity, transparency, or sharp text matter.
- 04
Photos stay on your device
IPhone photos can be personal — IDs, family shots, work-in-progress. The conversion happens here, so we never see the file you dropped in.
02How it works

03Use cases
Where the PNG wins.
HEIC files have their place — but when something downstream chokes, PNG is usually the answer.
Upload to anywhere
PNG is accepted by every CMS, social platform, and storefront on the internet. HEIC sometimes is not.
photo.heic → photo.pngSend it in an email
Inline previews work properly for PNG. HEIC attachments often show as a broken icon in older email clients.
Attach PNG, not HEICEdit in any image app
Photoshop, Affinity, Pixelmator, Canva, Figma, GIMP — every editor opens PNG. HEIC works in some, fails in others.
HEIC → PNG for editingMove photos off your iPhone
iCloud, AirDrop, and email send HEICs by default. Convert once and the photo opens cleanly on Windows, Android, Linux — anywhere outside the Apple bubble.
iCloud photo → JPG/PNGKeep transparency intact
PNG preserves alpha channels. Logos, icons, and screenshots with cutout backgrounds survive the conversion exactly.
Cutout image → transparent PNGStandardise a mixed folder
Drop each HEIC in turn and end up with a clean folder of PNG files. Easier to back up, search, and share.
Mixed → uniform PNG
04Quick tips
Get a cleaner result.
Small habits that keep the output sharp and the workflow snappy.
- 01
No quality slider, by design
PNG is lossless. The converter doesn't compromise pixels, so there's nothing to tune.
- 02
Convert first, compress later
If you also need a smaller file, run the resulting PNG through the image compressor for another big drop with no visible loss.
- 03
iPhone settings can stop the problem at source
On iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. Your phone shoots JPG instead of HEIC. Useful if you constantly need JPGs anyway.
- 04
PNG is best for sharp edges and transparency
Logos, screenshots, line art, and anything with a transparent background should be PNG. For photos, JPG is usually a smarter pick.
05Loved by
People who deal with HEIC files regularly.
iCloud sends my photos as HEIC and half my friends' phones can't open them. Convert to PNG once and the family group chat works again.
Clients shoot on iPhone, send HEIC. I convert to PNG in the browser and drop straight into Lightroom. No paid converter, no install.
Built a portfolio site, client sent HEIC product shots. Two minutes here gave me PNGs the CMS actually accepted.
06Questions
HEIC to PNG, plainly answered.
What people ask before converting their first file. Anything missing? hello@wirelogs.com.
01What does HEIC to PNG actually do?
It opens the HEIC image and re-encodes it as a PNG. Transparency is preserved — useful for logos, icons, and screenshots with cutouts.
02Will my photo lose quality?
PNG is lossless. Every pixel is preserved exactly — the only change is the format wrapper around the same image data.
03Why convert HEIC?
HEIC is iPhone and iPad photos since iOS 11. The problem is most non-Apple apps, Windows software, and older browsers refuse to open the format. Converting to PNG, which is a lossless format with transparency support, ideal for screenshots, logos, and art, fixes that without needing a desktop app or a subscription.
04How big a file can I drop in?
Up to 50 MB per image. That comfortably covers every phone photo, most DSLR shots, and large stock-site downloads. Larger files? Resize the source first.
05Is the converter really free?
Yes. No usage cap, no watermark, no premium tier, no sign-up. Convert as many files as you need.
06Do you upload my image?
No. Conversion runs in the browser — even HEIC decoding happens locally via WebAssembly. Wirelogs never gets a copy of the file, so personal photos and unreleased work stay private.
07Do I need an iPhone or Mac to convert HEIC?
No. HEIC is decoded by a WebAssembly library called heic2any that runs inside any modern browser. It works on Windows, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS without an Apple device anywhere in sight.
08Are PNG files always bigger than JPG?
For photos, yes — usually 3-5× bigger because PNG is lossless. For screenshots, line art, and images with transparency, PNG often matches or beats JPG and stays sharp.
