Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?

No further loss worth worrying about. HEIC is a lossy format, so the PNG can only be as good as what your iPhone saved — but at Apple's default settings that is excellent. FileMorf decodes the photo at high quality, and PNG stores the result without additional lossy compression.

Why won't HEIC files open on Windows or Android?

HEIC is Apple's default camera format (iOS 11 and later), built on the HEVC video codec. Windows needs paid codec extensions to display it and support elsewhere is inconsistent, which is why converting to a mainstream format is usually the fastest fix. FileMorf decodes HEIC directly in your browser — no codec installs needed.

Why is the PNG larger than my HEIC file?

Because PNG refuses to throw anything away. HEIC's lossy compression achieves small files by discarding data; PNG's lossless compression must encode every pixel faithfully, which costs more bytes — especially for photographs. That is the price of a file you can edit and re-save indefinitely.

Can I convert a whole batch of iPhone photos?

Yes. Drop in as many HEIC files as you like — each is converted in turn, and the results can be downloaded individually or together as a ZIP archive.

Questions about HEIC and PNG.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

HEIC barely opens outside Apple's ecosystem, while PNG opens everywhere and stores the converted photo losslessly, so it will not degrade through future edits and saves — a good working copy for retouching. Expect noticeably larger files than the original HEIC, since PNG's lossless compression cannot match HEVC's efficiency on photographs.
