Is HEIC to PNG really lossless?

The PNG step is. The HEIC itself was compressed when your iPhone took the photo, and that can't be undone, but converting to PNG adds no further loss. Every decoded pixel is kept.

Will the PNG have a transparent background?

No. iPhone camera photos have no transparency, so the PNG is fully opaque. Transparency only exists where the original image had it, such as cut-out stickers.

Why is the PNG so much larger than the HEIC?

HEIC is one of the most efficient photo formats, and PNG trades size for exactness. A 12 MP photo is often 15–25 MB as PNG. Choose HEIC to JPG if you need small files.

Should I choose PNG or JPG?

Choose PNG for editing, design, printing or archiving where you want no compression artifacts. Choose JPG for sharing, email, uploads and anything with a size limit.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The whole conversion happens in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.

Can I convert HEIF files too?

Yes. HEIF and HEIC are the same family of formats. Files ending in .heif or .heic both work, including those from some Samsung and Android cameras.

HEIC to PNG

When PNG is the better choice than JPG

JPG throws away a little detail every time it is saved. That's fine for sharing, but if you're going to edit, crop, annotate or layer a photo, those small losses add up. PNG is lossless: once the HEIC is decoded, every pixel is written exactly as it is, and the file won't degrade no matter how often you open and re-save it.

The trade-off is size. A 12 MP photo can come out at 15–25 MB as PNG, several times larger than the JPG, and 48 MP shots get much bigger still. Use PNG when you need the pixels untouched, such as for design files, print layouts or screenshots of documents, and JPG when you just need the photo to open somewhere.

Lossless output, straight from your browser

No extra compression, no upload.

No generation loss

PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly, so editing and re-saving never stacks up compression artifacts.

Ready for design tools

PNG imports cleanly into Figma, Photoshop, Canva, Keynote and slide decks, with no JPG blocking around text or sharp edges.

Private by design

Photos are decoded and encoded on your device. Nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.

Batch conversion

Convert up to 50 HEIC photos at once and download them as a ZIP.

Correct orientation

Rotation is applied, so the PNG comes out the right way up at full resolution.

Honest about size

We flag very large PNGs, so you know when a JPG would serve you better.
