Why use HEIC to PNG?

Most of the time, converting an iPhone HEIC photo to JPG is the right call — smaller files, universal compatibility. PNG becomes the better choice specifically when you need lossless output: preparing an image for further editing where you don't want to compound JPEG's lossy compression, or feeding it into software that specifically expects PNG input. This decodes the HEIC file with a WebAssembly-based decoder running directly in your browser and re-encodes it as PNG, so the conversion happens without uploading the photo anywhere — the same privacy-preserving approach as the HEIC to JPG converter, just with a different, lossless output format.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose PNG or JPG when converting a HEIC photo?

JPG is usually the better choice for ordinary photos — smaller file size with negligible visible quality loss. PNG makes sense when you specifically need a lossless format, such as for further image editing where you want to avoid compounding compression artifacts.

Will the PNG file be larger than the original HEIC?

Usually yes — PNG's lossless compression generally produces larger files than HEIC's efficient lossy compression, especially for photographic content with lots of detail and color variation.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No — conversion happens entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly decoder. Nothing is sent anywhere.
