What will I receive?
HEIC to PNG
PNG stores the decoded image without additional lossy compression and can preserve compatible transparency. It may be larger and cannot restore detail or transparency absent from the source.

Practical guide
Convert HEIC to PNG: limits and checks
HEIC is the familiar name for many iPhone photographs, but this conversion covers only the primary image. It suits editing and compatibility when compatible alpha should remain without another photographic compression step. This guide explains what changes from HEIC to PNG and what to inspect before publishing the result.
When HEIC to PNG is appropriate
HEIC is the familiar name for many iPhone photographs, but this conversion covers only the primary image. It suits editing and compatibility when compatible alpha should remain without another photographic compression step.
What the HEIC input may contain
The file must identify as a compatible HEIF-family image with one primary item; sequences, Live Photos, depth, thumbnails and auxiliary items are rejected or not exported.
How the PNG output is built
The decoder takes the HEIC primary item and does not attempt to reconstruct a Live Photo. The primary image is normalised to 8-bit sRGB and saved as PNG with compatible alpha; there is no quality setting and the file may grow substantially.
How to compare HEIC and PNG
Review alpha, colour, orientation and size; PNG does not recover HDR range or previously compressed information. Keep the HEIC: the result contains only the primary image normalised to 8-bit and none of the device metadata.
Also compare HEIC to JPG and HEIF to PNG when the destination needs a different trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Which HEIC input does this conversion accept?

What does the resulting PNG contain?
The decoder takes the HEIC primary item and does not attempt to reconstruct a Live Photo. The primary image is normalised to 8-bit sRGB and saved as PNG with compatible alpha; there is no quality setting and the file may grow substantially.
Should I delete the HEIC afterwards?
Keep the HEIC: the result contains only the primary image normalised to 8-bit and none of the device metadata.
