HEIC vs PNG Format Guide
HEIC uses the HEVC video codec for still image compression, achieving impressive file sizes while preserving quality. Apple devices capture photos in HEIC by default, storing rich color data and supporting features like transparency and depth information.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless DEFLATE compression, ensuring zero quality degradation. PNG supports full alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity, making it the standard choice for graphics that need crisp edges and transparent backgrounds.
Converting HEIC to PNG is ideal when you need to preserve maximum quality from your iPhone photos for editing or design work. Unlike JPG conversion, the PNG output retains every pixel detail without any additional compression artifacts, making it the preferred choice for archival and professional editing workflows.
