Ready to try the tool this guide describes?
Steps
- Open /tools/heic-to-png.
- Choose a .heic or .heif file within the 25 MB and 8,192 px limits.
- Select Convert & download.
- Save the .png, or a ZIP when the HEIC container has multiple images.
Transparency and no white flatten
Unlike HEIC to JPG, this tool does not paint a white background. When the HEIC decoder supplies alpha, PNG can keep it. There is no quality slider because PNG encoding here is not JPEG-style lossy compression.
Orientation and metadata
Orientation depends on the existing HEIC decode path and browser handling. EXIF and other metadata are not preserved in the PNG download.
