HEIC files from iPhone are optimised for storage efficiency — ideal for the camera roll, less so for design and editing workflows. PNG is the right intermediate format when you need to edit the image: it's lossless, so no additional quality is sacrificed when you open, retouch, and re-export. JPEG, by contrast, re-compresses every time you save, gradually accumulating artifacts over multiple edits.
PNG also supports full alpha-channel transparency. If you're photographing a product against a plain background and plan to remove it in Photoshop, Figma, or a background-removal tool, PNG gives those algorithms the cleanest pixel data to work with. HEIC can carry transparency in theory, but almost no design software reads it — the transparency is effectively invisible outside Apple's own apps.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your HEIC files are decoded from Apple's format and re-encoded to PNG without anything leaving your device. That matters for client photos under NDA, personal images you'd rather keep private, or any situation where a third-party upload would be inappropriate.
Frequently asked questions
PNG is lossless: it preserves every pixel of the original image with no compression artifacts. Choose PNG when you plan to edit the image further — retouching, background removal, compositing — because each subsequent edit doesn't degrade quality. Choose JPEG when you only need to share or display the final result and want a smaller file size.
Significantly larger — often 3–5× the size of the HEIC file. A 3 MB HEIC photo may become a 10–15 MB PNG. This is expected: PNG is uncompressed relative to HEIC's advanced lossy compression. PNG is the right choice for editing; for sharing or web use, JPEG or WebP are more practical.
HEIC technically supports alpha-channel transparency, but virtually no applications outside Apple's own software can read it. If your HEIC contains transparency, converting to PNG ensures that transparency is preserved and readable in Photoshop, Figma, browsers, and any other standard image tool.
No. Everything happens locally in your browser using a WASM-based HEIC decoder and the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded anywhere. The conversion works even if you go offline after the page has loaded.
