Why convert HEIC to PNG?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones use by default, and many computers, websites and design programs still cannot open it. Converting HEIC to PNG gives you a lossless copy of the photo: nothing is compressed away during the conversion, which makes PNG the better choice when you plan to edit, retouch or crop the picture further, or when a tool asks specifically for PNG.
- You want to edit an iPhone photo in a program that does not read HEIC.
- A design tool, presentation or website asks for PNG images.
- You want a lossless copy of the photo before editing it several times.
Tips for the best result
- PNG files of photos are large, often several times the size of the HEIC. For sharing or email, HEIC to JPG gives a much lighter file.
- The photo is turned the right way up automatically, just as it appears on your iPhone.
- To stop your iPhone from saving HEIC, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.
About these formats
HEIC: The photo format iPhones use by default. It keeps photos at about half the size of JPG, but Windows, many websites and older apps cannot open it.
PNG: A lossless image format that keeps every pixel sharp and supports transparent backgrounds. Great for screenshots, logos and graphics.
Frequently asked questions
Is HEIC to PNG lossless?
Yes. The photo is decoded and saved as PNG without any additional compression, so it looks exactly like the HEIC.
Should I choose PNG or JPG?
JPG for sharing and saving space, PNG for editing or when a tool requires it. Both open everywhere.
Why is the PNG file so big?
PNG keeps every pixel without compression losses, and phone photos have millions of pixels, so the files are naturally large.
