HEIC stores modern iPhone photos efficiently, while PNG is commonly accepted by graphics tools and supports transparency. Converting to PNG can increase file size and does not add detail to the source photo.

Why convert HEIC to PNG?

Use PNG when the website, app, or device you are sending the image to does not accept HEIC.
Compare the formats before converting: PNG supports transparency and lossless encoding.
