Why convert HEIC to PNG?
HEIC is Apple's High Efficiency format and the iPhone default, storing photos at roughly half the size of JPEG. PNG is a lossless raster format that reproduces every pixel exactly and fully supports transparency.
PNG supports an alpha channel, so you get a transparency-capable file to layer or edit — though the conversion cannot invent transparency the HEIC never had. HEIC is already a lossy format, so converting to lossless PNG will not recover detail that was discarded — but it prevents any further loss and gives you a broadly editable copy, at the cost of a larger file. PNG opens on every device, browser, and app, which is frequently the whole reason to convert away from HEIC.
Pixohub converts HEIC to PNG entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API and an in-browser HEIC decoder, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many HEIC files into PNG as you like. Reach for PNG whenever you need logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background.
HEIC vs PNG: what to expect
HEIC is best for space-efficient iPhone and iPad photos, while PNG shines for logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background. Keep your original HEIC if you may later need the source file, and export a PNG copy for compatibility and editing.
