Why Convert HEIC to PNG Instead of JPG?
Lossless Quality — Every Pixel Preserved
PNG uses lossless compression — zero quality degradation during conversion. JPG is lossy and introduces compression artifacts. If you need perfect quality from your iPhone photos, PNG is the right choice.
Transparency Support
PNG supports alpha transparency while JPG doesn't. If you need to use iPhone photos as overlays, in designs with transparent backgrounds, or for compositing, PNG preserves transparency.
Sharp Text and Screenshots
If your HEIC files contain screenshots, text overlays, or graphics, PNG preserves sharp edges perfectly. JPG compression blurs high-contrast edges — the "fuzzy text" problem.
When to Use JPG Instead
For regular photos where file size matters more than pixel-perfect quality, HEIC to JPG produces much smaller files (3-5x smaller than PNG). Use PNG for:
- Graphics and screenshots with text
- Images needing transparency
- Professional editing where lossless quality matters
- Archival where no quality loss is acceptable
