Why a HEIC photo will not open, and what PNG fixes
Since iOS 11 in 2017 every iPhone saves photos as HEIC unless you change a setting, and on the phone it's a good format, about half the size of the same photo as a JPEG with the same detail. The trouble starts once the photo leaves the phone. Windows wants a paid HEVC codec to open one, and plenty of upload forms, CMS admin panels and older tools accept only JPG and PNG, so you end up with a folder of photos nothing will read.
PNG is the pick when you want no more lossy saves after this one, and every browser, editor and office program made in the last twenty years opens it.
What to expect from the file size
A 3 MB HEIC from an iPhone 15 often becomes a 15 to 25 MB PNG, which is normal for a lossless format. The phone already threw away detail when it saved the HEIC and PNG can't bring it back, it only stops further loss. For a photo headed to a website or an email JPG is usually the better pick: the HEIC to JPG converter has a quality slider and makes files a tenth of the size.
What happens in your browser
The HEIC decoder loads into the page as WebAssembly and runs on your machine, so the photos aren't uploaded and there's nothing to delete afterwards. Each photo is decoded straight to PNG with no lossy step in between. Drop in one file or a hundred, they're converted one after another and download singly or all at once. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and the iPhone itself.
With Live Photos only the still frame converts and the three-second clip stays behind. Burst shots arrive as separate files, and photos edited on the phone convert with the edits applied.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting HEIC to PNG improve the quality?+
No. HEIC is lossy, so the phone already threw away some detail when it saved the photo, and nothing later in the chain can put it back. You get a much larger file showing the same picture.
Why is my PNG 20 MB?+
PNG stores every pixel without loss and a photograph has millions of them, so a 12-megapixel photo lands between 15 and 30 MB. If size matters more to you, convert to JPG instead.
Does it keep transparency?+
Yes, if the HEIC has any. The file is decoded straight to PNG, so an alpha channel survives, though a photo from a phone camera has no transparent areas to begin with.
Does it work on Windows without the HEVC codec?+
Yes. The decoder runs inside the page, so Windows never has to open the HEIC itself and any current Chrome, Edge or Firefox is enough.
Can I convert many files at once?+
Yes, select or drop as many as you like. A photo that fails to decode is skipped and the rest carry on.
Is the photo metadata kept?+
No, EXIF data such as location, camera model and capture date doesn't carry into the PNG. Your location stays out of anything you post, but keep the original if you need the capture date later.
