About HEIC/HEIF to PNG
HEIC stores iPhone photos with HEVC-based compression at roughly half the size of JPEG, plus bursts and depth data in the same container. PNG keeps one still frame with lossless pixels and full alpha support, so the export grows larger while turning universally readable. Only the selected still carries over, since PNG holds a single layer with no burst data. Windows and older tools open PNG everywhere, which removes the codec-pack requirement. Adjust white balance before export, then keep the HEIC original as the editable master.
Why convert HEIC/HEIF to PNG?
- Larger files than lossy shares with PNG lossless quality.
- Keep quality where supported.
- Private, no upload - runs in your browser.

When not to convert HEIC/HEIF to PNG
- Skip PNG for the smallest share: lossless output stays large, so prefer a lossy target when sending HEIC/HEIF files.
- Still frames only: PNG cannot animate, so just the first frame of HEIC/HEIF carries over.
Limits
Starting point: HEIC/HEIF - HEVC-based photos captured on iPhones. Windows and older tools may need a codec pack to open it. Lossless quality means larger files than JPEG. Export PNG from HEIC/HEIF at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
