What PNG is doing for you here
It stops the photo degrading any further. From the moment it is a PNG, saving it again changes nothing — which matters if the picture has work ahead of it.
Edit and save freely
A JPG gives up a little more detail every time it is opened, changed and saved again. PNG doesn't work that way: the tenth save is identical to the first. If the photo is going into an editor, or to a designer, or through several rounds of changes, this is the format that survives it.
It preserves, it can't restore
Your phone already compressed the picture when it took it. PNG holds on to exactly what you hand it, which is that compressed picture — not the scene as the camera originally saw it. Nothing gets better in this conversion; it simply stops getting worse.
PNG or JPG for an iPhone photo?
PNG if the photo has work ahead of it. JPG if it just needs to open somewhere and be done with.
The split is about what happens next rather than about quality. A photo you are sending to someone, uploading to a form, or attaching to an email wants to be small and universally readable, and converting it to JPG does that. A photo you are about to crop, retouch, cut a background out of, or hand over for someone else to work on wants to stop losing detail, and that is this page.
The size difference is real and worth planning for: a PNG of a photograph is a large file, because keeping everything costs room. For a handful of pictures that hardly matters. For a whole camera roll destined for email, it will.
Questions people ask
No, and it is worth being straight about that. PNG keeps every pixel it is given, so nothing is lost in this conversion — but the phone already compressed the photo when it took it, and that is the picture the PNG preserves. You are locking in what you have rather than getting back what the camera originally saw.
Because you plan to do something to it. Every time a JPG is edited and saved it gives up a little more detail, while a PNG saves over and over with no change at all. If the photo is heading into an editor, a design tool, or someone else's hands, PNG is the one that survives the round trip.
Considerably larger than the HEIC, and larger than a JPG of the same photo too. PNG keeps everything rather than throwing away detail to save room, and photographs have a great deal of detail to keep. That is the cost of the copy not degrading, and it is why PNG suits editing rather than emailing.
No. The hidden details a phone attaches to a picture — the device, the date, the place — are not carried into the PNG. Keep the original HEIC if you need any of that, because the converted file will not have it.
Yes. Drop in as many as you like; they queue together and come back as a single .zip. Expect the download to be sizeable, since every PNG in it is bigger than the HEIC it came from.
No, and nothing is lost by that. A photograph is a solid rectangle of pixels with nothing see-through in it, so the PNG arrives fully opaque. What PNG gives you here is the ability to cut a background out later and have that transparency stored properly — which is exactly what a JPG cannot do.
