HEIC vs PNG

Compatibility. PNG is supported by virtually every image tool ever made, while HEIC support outside Apple's own ecosystem is inconsistent.

Compression. HEIC uses efficient lossy compression, similar in spirit to modern video codecs; PNG is lossless, which is far less space-efficient for photographic content, so expect a significantly larger file.

Quality. The conversion to PNG is lossless from this point on, but can't recover detail the original HEIC encode already discarded if it used lossy compression, which iPhone photos typically do.

Why choose PNG over JPG here. Pick PNG when you specifically need a lossless working copy or must preserve transparency; pick JPG (see our HEIC to JPG converter) when smaller file size and universal compatibility matter more.

Common Use Cases

  • ·Archiving an iPhone photo losslessly for long-term storage
  • ·Preparing an iPhone photo for an editing tool that expects PNG
  • ·Opening an iPhone photo on a device or in software with no HEIC support
  • ·Preserving transparency from a HEIC image that includes an alpha channel

Frequently Asked Questions

It converts the still HEIC image itself, not any motion data bundled alongside a Live Photo.

PNG is lossless, which is far less space-efficient than HEIC's compression for photographic detail - a significant size increase is expected.

HEIC can technically store an alpha channel, though it's rarely used in typical iPhone photos, which are usually plain photographic captures with no transparency to preserve.

Choose PNG specifically when you need a lossless copy for further editing, or need to guarantee no additional quality loss beyond what the original HEIC already contains - JPG is the better choice when smaller file size matters more.

No - it preserves exactly what the HEIC contains without losing anything further, but it can't add back detail already discarded by the original HEIC compression.

Not in most default configurations - you typically need an extra codec, or you can simply convert to PNG or JPG here, which is often the more reliable option.
