A useful trade-off

Is PNG the right format for your photo?

Choose PNG when

You need broad compatibility, want to edit the image, or need transparency support.

Keep in mind

PNG files are often larger than HEIC photos. PNG does not restore detail that was already lost when the HEIC was created.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install HEIC software on Windows?

No. Browser conversion does not require a Windows app or codec. Native Windows viewing is a separate task.

Are my HEIC files uploaded?

No. Files are processed locally in your browser. Read our Privacy details.

Does converting HEIC to PNG reduce quality?

PNG does not add lossy compression after decoding. It cannot restore data already lost in the original HEIC; output is sRGB, 8-bit PNG.

What happens to a HEIF file with multiple images or Live Photo content?

The converter exports the primary image only. It does not extract every image in a multi-image HEIF file or the companion video in a Live Photo.

Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?

Yes, subject to the real limits shown by the converter and your device memory.
