HEIC to PNG or HEIC to JPG?
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. Both PNG and JPG open everywhere, but they suit different jobs:
- PNG is lossless. Choose it when you will edit the photo further, need the best possible quality for design work, or want to cut out the background later.
- JPG is much smaller. For sharing, email and upload forms, HEIC to JPG is usually the better pick.
Expect large files: a 12-megapixel photo can be well over 10 MB as PNG. If size matters, convert to JPG or resize the image first.
The HEIC decoding happens in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. Live Photos are converted as still images. You can drop a whole batch at once, and the PNG files download together in a ZIP.
Stop saving HEIC on iPhone
If you often need compatible files, you can change the camera format on the phone: open Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG, which takes more storage but opens everywhere. You can also set Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC to Automatic, so photos copied to a computer are converted to a compatible format during the transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Is HEIC to PNG lossless?
The PNG stores the decoded photo without further compression loss, so it is ideal for editing.
Why are the PNG files so large?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, while HEIC compresses very efficiently. Use JPG for smaller files.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They are converted in your browser.
