Convert HEIC or HEIF photos to PNG in your browser. JPEG, WebP, and AVIF are available on the same Timamu Web job. Originals stay untouched.
You can also compress a HEIC photo or convert HEIC to JPG.
When PNG is the right target
PNG is lossless, so the converted photo carries no JPEG artifacts. That suits editing, layout work and archiving a photo before further changes. The cost is size. A photo saved as PNG is usually many times larger than the HEIC it came from.
Typical uses are a photo going into a design file, a clean master kept before retouching, and software that accepts PNG but not HEIC.
Steps to convert HEIC to PNG
- Choose the HEIC or HEIF photo in Timamu Web.
- Select PNG as the output format.
- Run the job and download the PNG. The HEIC original is untouched.
PNG-specific gotchas
- A photo has no transparent area, so choosing PNG does not add one.
- Expect a large file. For email or upload limits, JPEG is the better output; see convert HEIC to JPG.
- A PNG made from a photo can be reduced later with the image compressor, which keeps the PNG format.
PNG against the other outputs
- JPEG is the right choice for sharing and for size limits.
- WebP and AVIF give smaller files than PNG but are lossy.
- PNG keeps the converted image free of further loss, which matters if you edit and re-save it several times.
Questions
Can I convert HEIC to PNG in the browser?
Yes. Convert HEIC or HEIF to PNG on Timamu Web. JPEG, WebP, and AVIF are available too. Originals stay untouched.
Does my photo stay on my device?
Yes. Timamu prepares your photo in your browser on your device.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the HEIC?
HEIC is built to be small, while PNG stores every pixel without lossy shortcuts. The size gap is the price of lossless output.
Will PNG improve quality?
It cannot add detail the photo lacks. PNG only avoids further loss after the conversion.
Should I choose PNG or JPEG?
Choose PNG when the photo will be edited further or kept as a clean master. Choose JPEG when the file has to be sent, uploaded or kept small.
Does converting lose quality?
The PNG itself adds no loss. The HEIC was already compressed by the camera, so the PNG holds that picture exactly as decoded, nothing more.
