HEIC → PNG · zero upload

HEIC to PNG Apple photo. Pixel-perfect out.

Lossless. That's the whole pitch. The converter sites queue you, paywall batch, or only output JPG and silently recompress. Morph runs heic2any in your tab — decodes the HEVC frames into raw RGBA, writes bit-for-bit identical PNG bytes, alpha preserved. The 3 MB HEIC becomes a 25 MB PNG, which is the price of zero quality loss. No upload, no quota. Free for everything that runs on your device; AI is paid in credits.

DECODE

heic2any in your browser tab — Artboard engine, libheif WASM, lossless RGBA out.

The same WebAssembly libheif decoder Apple, Microsoft, and Linux distros all use. Decodes HEVC frames into raw pixels, writes lossless PNG bytes. No silent re-compression like the server-side tools.

What it actually does

02
ALPHA

Transparency preserved

iOS Photos cutouts, sticker exports, screenshot crops with transparent regions — all carry through. JPG would flatten them; PNG keeps them.

03
PRIVACY

Local-only decode

HEIC of your dog stays your photo.

04
BATCH

iCloud export → Files

Drop a folder of fifty, two hundred. No batch cap.

How it works

  1. Open morph.cool — works on iPhone Safari, iPad, desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox.
  2. Drag the .heic or .heif onto the drop zone, or pick a folder.
  3. Pick PNG from the format menu.
  4. Morph decodes via heic2any (libheif WASM), writes lossless PNG with alpha.
  5. Download. Originals untouched. Nothing was uploaded.

Why people convert HEIC → PNG specifically

JPG is the universal format, but it is lossy. Anyone serious about preserving the photo as captured — restoration, archival print, alpha-channel work, OCR on a screenshot, scientific imaging — needs PNG. HEIC's HEVC compression is already very efficient; converting to JPG often loses more visible detail than the HEIC tradeoff was worth in the first place. Going straight HEIC → PNG keeps every pixel exactly where Apple's encoder put it. Then any further edits in Artboard are also lossless. The converter sites' free tiers silently downsample, hide "compress before download" inside their batch flow, or refuse PNG entirely. Morph keeps the lossless path open without a server hop.

Where the upload sites still win

If you have a 4K HEIC pipeline running across thousands of files daily and need server-side queueing, retries, and CDN delivery, that's a different product. A server-side conversion API is real software. For everyone else converting one beach photo to PNG before opening it in Artboard, Morph wins on speed and on privacy.

Frequently asked

How is this different from the converter sites?

Morph runs heic2any compiled to WebAssembly directly in your browser — no upload, no queue, no ad wall, no daily cap.

Is the PNG actually lossless?

Yes. Morph decodes the HEIC into raw RGBA pixels then writes those pixels straight to PNG. Zero re-compression, zero quality drop. Server-side tools often silently re-compress before encoding — Morph never does.

Why is the PNG so much larger than the HEIC?

HEIC uses HEVC compression (the same codec as 4K video). PNG is lossless, so it has to store every pixel. A 3MB HEIC commonly becomes a 20–30MB PNG. That is the cost of zero quality loss.

What about transparency in iOS sticker exports?

PNG preserves the alpha channel. If your HEIC has transparent regions — common in Photos cutouts, screenshot crops, sticker exports — Morph carries them through untouched.

Can I batch a whole iCloud download?

Yes. Drop a folder, drop fifty HEICs, drop the entire export from Photos. The free tier has no batch limit.

Does it work on iPhone or iPad?

Yes — Safari on iOS supports the WebAssembly decoder. Conversion runs locally on your iPhone, never touches a server.
