Why convert HEIC to PNG?
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. Windows, Android, many websites and online forms can't open HEIC files, so converting them to PNG is the easiest way to share, upload or edit your photos anywhere.
PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparent backgrounds, which makes it the right choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text and anything you plan to edit further.
Good to know
- Converting HEIC uses a decoder that runs in your browser. The first file takes a few seconds while it loads; the rest are fast.
