Convert HEIC to PNG when PNG is the format you need
PNG is useful for graphics, screenshots, and images that need transparency. Morphio creates a separate PNG for each HEIC or HEIF input.
How to convert HEIC to PNG
Choose your HEIC or HEIF files. Conversion starts after selection, and you can download each successful result when it is ready.
- 1
Choose HEIC or HEIF files
Choose one or more HEIC or HEIF images. Privacy accepts individual images; Cloud can also accept ZIP files.

Follow each item as it processes
Conversion starts after file selection. Each file shows its own progress, and failed items can be retried.

Download the PNG results
Each successful input creates its own PNG file. Download files individually, or use the grouped ZIP download when several results are ready.
What happens to the image
Each input becomes a separate PNG. PNG supports transparency and uses lossless image compression, but converting from HEIC cannot recreate information that was not present in the source.
Photo files can become larger as PNG, so choose PNG because you need its format characteristics, not because it is always a smaller or better output.
Privacy or Cloud?
Privacy is the default for individual HEIC or HEIF images. The image conversion happens in your browser and those images are not uploaded.
Cloud uploads files to Morphio for server-side processing and also supports ZIP input. Files uploaded in Cloud are deleted by default after one day.
ZIP input and ZIP download are different things: ZIP input is a Cloud feature, while a ZIP download simply bundles several successful results.
Progress, retries, and downloads
Each file has its own progress and result. A failed file can be retried without discarding the files that already finished.
When several retryable items remain, Continue can resume them. Successful files stay available for individual download, with a grouped ZIP download when applicable.
For several PNG copies, use the batch PNG converter.
Privacy, Cloud, and file handling
- Processing
- Privacy processes individual HEIC/HEIF images in your browser. Cloud uploads files to Morphio for server-side processing.
- Cloud retention
- Files uploaded in Cloud are deleted by default after one day.
- Metadata
- Morphio keeps supported metadata when the output format can carry it. Some HEIC-specific data may not transfer.
- ZIP files
- ZIP input is available in Cloud. A ZIP download for multiple successful results is available in both Privacy and Cloud.
When PNG is a good choice
Use PNG when the app or website specifically asks for PNG, when transparency matters, or when a lossless raster output is useful. Choose JPG instead when broad photo compatibility and smaller files are the main priorities.
Compare HEIC and PNG before choosing. Need something else? Use JPG, PDF, or the format selector.
Before you download
Use HEIC to PNG when PNG is required by the app, website, or design task you are working with.
After a HEIC to PNG conversion, open the PNG and confirm that transparency, orientation, and visible image content look right before deleting the HEIC.
