// ABOUT HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default camera format on iPhone and iPad since iOS 11. It uses the HEVC video codec to achieve roughly 50% better compression than JPEG at equivalent quality. HEIC supports transparency, depth maps, and burst sequences. However, HEIC encoding requires a commercial HEVC licence, so this tool supports HEIC as an input-only format.
// ABOUT PNG
PNG uses lossless compression with full alpha-channel transparency support. It preserves every pixel exactly, making it the standard choice for screenshots, logos, web graphics, and any image where precision matters. PNG files tend to be larger than lossy alternatives but guarantee no quality degradation.
// WHY CONVERT
Converting HEIC to PNG is useful when you need your image in a format suited for web graphics, screenshots, logos, icons, digital art, and images requiring transparency. Note that converting from a lossy source (HEIC) to a lossless target (PNG) preserves the existing quality but cannot recover detail already lost during the original compression. Image Toolz runs the entire conversion directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server — your files remain completely private on your device. The tool handles images up to 200 MB and most conversions complete in under a second.
// FAQ
What is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default photo format on iPhone and iPad. It uses HEVC compression to produce files roughly half the size of equivalent JPEG photos at similar quality. It is not widely supported outside of Apple devices.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format with universal compatibility across all platforms, browsers, and image editing applications.
Will converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?
No additional quality is lost beyond what HEIC compression already applied. The PNG output is a lossless copy of the decoded HEIC pixel data.
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. All conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server and nothing leaves your device.
