Why convert HEIC to PNG
PNG is lossless and preserves transparency, making it the right choice for screenshots, logos, and graphics with sharp edges. Files are larger than JPG, but quality is pixel-perfect.
Privacy and processing
HEIC decoding runs in your browser via a small WebAssembly module that's downloaded once and cached for offline use. Your file never leaves your device.
HEIC to PNG online with ImgShifter
HEIC to PNG is the conversion for when an iPhone photo is about to become a working file - dropped into Photoshop layers, traced in a design tool, annotated for documentation, or sent to print. PNG gives the photo a lossless home: from the moment of conversion, no edit or re-save will cost another pixel of quality.
The pipeline is the same privacy-first design as the rest of ImgShifter: a WebAssembly HEIF decoder unpacks the .heic on your device, and the Canvas API writes a PNG locally. Nothing uploads, the decoder is cached after first use, and the page keeps converting with the network switched off.
Set expectations on size: PNG stores photographic pixels losslessly, so a 2 MB HEIC routinely becomes a 15-25 MB PNG at iPhone resolutions. That's correct behavior, not a bug - it's the price of an editing master. If you just need the photo to open everywhere, HEIC to JPG produces files a tenth the size.
