Frequently Asked Questions
Should I convert HEIC to PNG or JPG?
Use JPG for photos (smaller files, universal compatibility). Use PNG for graphics, screenshots, or images with text/sharp edges (better quality, supports transparency). For most iPhone photos shared online, JPG is the better choice.
Does PNG preserve better quality than JPG?
Yes. PNG is lossless, meaning no quality is lost during conversion. However, PNG files are 2-3x larger than JPG. For photos, the quality difference is minimal. For graphics and text, PNG is noticeably sharper.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG with transparency?
If your HEIC file has transparency (rare, but possible with certain apps), PNG will preserve it. JPG cannot store transparency. However, most iPhone photos don't have transparency.
