What happens to your image going from HEIC to PNG
- A PNG can't restore detail the HEIC had already dropped, but it does prevent any more loss when you re-save. The file will be larger, because PNG keeps every pixel exactly.
- Your photos keep their full resolution, and the PNG opens on Windows, Android and any website.
HEIC vs PNG in brief
- HEIC is the photo format Apple uses by default on iPhone and iPad. It packs a picture into about half the space a JPG would need, yet plenty of Windows computers, web forms, websites and older apps refuse to open it.
- PNG is lossless, meaning every pixel is stored exactly, and it supports full transparency. That suits screenshots, logos and graphics perfectly, but a photo saved as PNG is often several times larger than the same shot as a JPG.
Worth knowing
- You can add as many files as you like. Bigger batches simply take a bit longer, since your own device is doing the work.
- Files with the same name get a number added (photo.jpg, photo-2.jpg), so nothing in the ZIP gets overwritten.

Questions & answers
Does changing HEIC to PNG lower the quality?
No more quality is lost, because PNG is lossless. Your PNG matches the HEIC exactly.
Can I do a whole batch of HEIC files?
Yes. Add as many as you want; each is converted separately, and Download all bundles them into a single ZIP.
Do my photos get sent anywhere?
No. Your browser does the conversion with your device's own processor, so your photos stay with you. Once the page has loaded you could even switch off your internet connection.
