Convert iPhone HEIC photos to lossless PNG that opens on Windows, Android, and the web. PNG keeps every pixel and supports transparency, making it ideal when you need a sharp, editable copy of an iPhone photo rather than a compressed JPG.
When to convert HEIC to PNG
Open iPhone photos on Windows or Android
Edit an iPhone photo without generational JPG loss
Use an iPhone screenshot or graphic on the web
About the HEIC and PNG formats
HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format iPhone uses since iOS 11. It stores roughly half the bytes of a JPG at the same quality, but Windows, Android, and most websites refuse to open it. Converting HEIC to JPG is the single most-searched image conversion on Google for that reason.
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.
