HEIC to PNG converter: free, fast and secure
Need to change an image from HEIC to PNG? This tool does it instantly and for free, without uploading your pictures anywhere. iPhone photos are saved as HEIC, which many Windows PCs, Android apps, websites and government portals cannot open. Converting to PNG makes them work everywhere. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so it is ideal for logos, screenshots and images you will edit again.
Unlike most converters, ConvertKaro never uploads your images. The conversion happens on your own device, so it is quicker, there are no file limits, and your photos stay private.

What is HEIC?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default since iOS 11. It stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG with the same quality, which saves a lot of phone storage. Outside the Apple world, though, HEIC is a headache: many Windows PCs, Android apps, websites and government portals cannot open or accept it, so people convert HEIC photos to JPG or PNG before sharing.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format, so it keeps every pixel exactly as it is. It supports full transparency, which makes it the standard choice for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp text. Because nothing is thrown away, photos saved as PNG are usually much larger than the same photo as JPG or WEBP. PNG works in every browser, design tool and operating system.
When should you convert HEIC to PNG?
- Logos and graphics with a transparent background
- Screenshots and images with text
- Images you plan to edit again in Photoshop, Canva or Figma
- Stickers and design assets
Tips for the best PNG results
- On iPhone you can also set Settings → Camera → Formats → “Most Compatible” to shoot JPG directly in future.
- You can convert many HEIC files at once. They are processed one after another and can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
- Keep your original HEIC files until you have checked the converted PNG images.

This is why the tool is fast even on 4G, why there is no daily limit, and why it is safe for confidential photos and images like ID proofs, bank documents, contracts and family photos.

Frequently asked questions
Will converting HEIC to PNG reduce quality?
PNG stores the image lossless, so no extra quality is lost during conversion. Any detail already removed by the original HEIC compression cannot be restored, and the PNG file may be larger than the original.
Does PNG keep transparency from HEIC?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your HEIC stay transparent.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files to PNG at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many HEIC images as you like. Each one is converted separately, and you can download them all together as a ZIP file.
Why can’t I open HEIC photos on Windows?
Windows needs a paid HEVC extension to read HEIC, and many apps do not support it at all. Converting to JPG or PNG is the simplest fix and works on every device.
Is HEIC to PNG really free?
Yes, completely free. You can use it as many times as you want, and every option on the page is included at no cost.

Yes, the tool is built mobile-first. Open this page on your phone, add your files and download the result directly.
Is there a file size limit in HEIC to PNG?
There is no fixed limit set by us because files are not uploaded. Very large files depend on your device’s memory; most phones handle files of 100 MB or more without problems.

No. There is no watermark, no login and no email required. Your downloaded file is exactly your result.
