How to convert HEIC to PNG
- Drop the HEIC photos.
- Nothing to choose — PNG is lossless.
- Press Convert and download the PNGs.
What happens to your file
HEIC cannot be decoded by most browsers, so the file is uploaded, decoded on Fylane’s servers with the orientation applied, written as PNG without loss, and deleted on schedule.
A PNG of a 12-megapixel photo is 20–40 MB — right for an editor, wrong for a message. HEIC to JPG is the one to send.
Questions
When is PNG the right choice?
When the picture will be edited again, needs transparency later, or is a screenshot with sharp text. For photos you send or post, JPG.
