When PNG beats JPG for iPhone photos

For ordinary photographs, JPG is the better HEIC exit — far smaller with no visible difference. PNG earns its place when the image contains text or graphics, or when you plan repeated edits and don't want JPG loss stacking with every save. Expect real size: 20–40 MB per photo is normal.

Property	HEIC	PNG
Compression	Lossy, efficient	Lossless
12 MP photo size	1–3 MB	20–40 MB
Repeated edits	Loss stacks	Exact every save
Universal support	No	Yes
Ordinary photo sharing	—	JPG is the better exit

Typical jobs people use this for

Converting an iPhone screenshot with fine text for documentation
Preparing a phone photo for heavy retouching rounds
Extracting a frame that must survive pixel-exact

When this is the wrong tool

For sharing everyday photos, PNG's 20× size buys nothing visible — use HEIC-to-JPG instead. And PNG preserves the HEIC's existing compression exactly; it cannot polish what the camera already encoded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose PNG or JPG for my iPhone photos?

For ordinary photographs, JPG is the better choice — much smaller files with no visible quality difference. PNG makes sense when the image contains text or graphics, or when you intend to edit it repeatedly without accumulating compression loss.

Why is the PNG so large?

PNG is lossless, so it must encode every pixel of a 12-megapixel photograph faithfully. Files of 20–40 MB from a single photo are entirely normal, compared with a few megabytes for the HEIC.

Does converting to PNG improve the photo?

No. PNG preserves exactly what it receives, but the HEIC's existing compression is already part of the image. Conversion prevents further loss rather than undoing past loss.

Will the PNG open everywhere?

Yes. PNG is supported by essentially every operating system, browser and image application, which is the main reason to convert away from HEIC.

Is the photo sent anywhere during conversion?

No. Conversion is performed locally in your browser.
