HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a file format that Apple introduced with iOS 11. It uses the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Compression) codec to store images in a more efficient way, resulting in files that are about half the size of equivalent quality JPEGs.
While HEIC offers many advantages, there are several reasons why you might want to convert your HEIC to PNG:
PNG is universally supported across all platforms, browsers, and applications, while HEIC support is limited primarily to Apple devices.
Many image editing software and online tools don't support HEIC files, converting HEIC to PNG is a better choice for editing purposes.
Like HEIC, PNG supports transparency, making it ideal for graphics, logos, and images that need to be placed on different backgrounds.
PNG uses lossless compression, ensuring no quality loss during conversion or when saving the file multiple times.
This usually happens when the file extension is .heic but the file is actually in a different format. Ensure your files are genuine HEIC files from an iOS device or camera that supports this format.
HEIC to PNG conversion speed depends on your device's processing power and the file size. Larger files will take longer to convert. If conversion seems stuck, try refreshing the page and converting smaller batches of files.
This might happen if you're trying to convert too many HEIC files at once or if the files are very large. Try converting fewer files at a time or use a device with more memory.
HEIC files may contain orientation metadata that some PNG viewers don't interpret correctly. If your converted images appear rotated, try opening them in an image editor and saving them again after rotating them correctly.
Windows 10 users can view HEIC files by installing the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store.
macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later natively support HEIC files. They will open automatically in Preview or Photos app.
For older macOS versions, you'll need to convert HEIC to PNG files to a compatible format like PNG using this converter.
Most Android devices don't natively support HEIC files. You can:
