What is the HEIC format?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default image format on iPhones since iOS 11. It offers better quality than JPEG with smaller file sizes, but is not natively supported by all devices and software.
Why convert HEIC to PNG?
PNG format supports transparency and offers lossless quality. It's ideal when you need the highest quality or images with transparent backgrounds.
Why choose PNG?
PNG is the ideal format when you need transparency, lossless quality, or images with crisp text and graphics. For photos, JPG offers a better quality/size ratio.
