Convert HEIC and HEIF images to PNG directly in your browser. Free to use, with no software installation or account required.
A photo may look perfectly normal on your phone but become inconvenient when you try to use it in another application. A website may ask for a different image format, an editing program may not recognize the file, or a design project may specifically require PNG. If your image is saved as HEIC, you can use the Imagesmint HEIC to PNG converter to create a PNG version directly in your browser.
The tool accepts HEIC and HEIF files, converts the selected image to PNG, and displays a preview before you download it. You can also check the image dimensions and the original and final file sizes, making it easier to see what the conversion produced.
HEIC is designed for efficient image storage, while PNG is commonly used for graphics, digital artwork, and images that benefit from crisp edges or transparency. The right choice depends on where the image needs to go next. If a design tool, document workflow, or other application specifically calls for PNG, converting the file can save you the trouble of finding another version of the photo.
There is one important trade-off to keep in mind: PNG is not guaranteed to produce a smaller file than HEIC. The resulting image may take up more storage, depending on its contents and how the original was encoded. Conversion also does not restore details that were already lost in the source image; it changes the format used to store the decoded image.
.heic or .heif extension from your computer or phone.Start by making sure the image displays correctly and that its dimensions suit your project. The tool reports the width and height in pixels, along with the original file size and the final PNG size. These details can help when preparing images for a document, a design, or a website with particular image requirements.
If the new file is larger than expected, that does not necessarily mean the conversion failed. Different image formats store their data differently, so compare the resulting size with your actual needs rather than expecting every PNG to be smaller than its HEIC source.
The converter focuses on changing the format; it does not include controls for resizing the image or adjusting output quality. If you want to reduce the size of the resulting PNG, try our PNG Compressor. To convert images between other supported formats, visit the Image Format Converter.
HEIC is designed for efficient image storage, while PNG is widely used for graphics and images where sharp edges or transparency may matter. The best format depends on the software and workflow in which you plan to use the image.
Not necessarily. A PNG file can be larger than the original HEIC image. If your primary goal is reducing file size, compare the original and converted files before choosing which version to keep.
Conversion does not recreate details that are missing from the original image. It creates a PNG version of the image that the converter was able to decode.
Yes. The upload field accepts both HEIC and HEIF files. Successful conversion still depends on whether the conversion library can read the particular file; some unsupported or damaged files may fail.
The conversion runs in your browser, and the supplied code does not send the image to a remote server for conversion. The conversion library itself is loaded from an external content delivery network, so an internet connection may be needed to load the library.
