| File extension | .PNG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

HEIC is what your iPhone shoots — smaller than JPG, but rejected by Windows, by older apps, and by most web platforms. Converting HEIC to PNG gives you a lossless image every device displays, with transparency support intact. Drop your .heic file above.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the file format Apple adopted for iPhone photos starting with iOS 11 in 2017. HEIC wraps HEIF-encoded image data — typically 50% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality. Windows requires the HEIF codec extension; many web platforms and apps simply reject HEIC uploads.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format with alpha-channel transparency, standardised in 1996. Every browser, every image viewer, every design tool, and every document editor renders PNG natively. PNG is the universal lossless image format.
