Why choose PNG over JPG when converting from HEIC?

PNG is lossless — it preserves every detail without compression artifacts. It's the better choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with transparent areas, or any image you plan to edit further.

Does PNG support transparency from the original HEIC file?

HEIC files rarely contain transparency, but PNG fully supports alpha channels. If your source image has transparent areas, they will be preserved in the output PNG.

Are my photos uploaded to a server during conversion?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, making this tool completely private and safe for personal or sensitive images.

Will the PNG file be larger than the original HEIC?

Yes, typically. PNG is lossless and uncompressed compared to HEIC, so the file size will usually be larger. If smaller file size matters more than quality, consider using HEIC to JPG instead.
