Why convert HEIC to PNG?

PNG keeps every pixel of the decoded photo, so it's the best choice when you'll edit the image further or need a lossless master copy.

PNG files of photos are large. If you just want to share or upload the photo, HEIC to JPG gives a much smaller file.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose PNG or JPG for iPhone photos?

JPG for sharing and uploading — it's much smaller. PNG when you need a lossless copy for editing.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. The HEIC photo is decoded in your browser and never leaves your device.

Why is the PNG so large?

HEIC and JPG compress photos; PNG stores every pixel exactly. A 12 MP photo as PNG is often 15–25 MB.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. PixStrong processes your images directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device and we never see them.

Does PixStrong remove photo metadata (EXIF)?

Yes. The new image is drawn from the pixels only, so EXIF data such as camera details and GPS location is not copied into the file you download. The photo's rotation is applied first, so it still displays the right way up.
