How to convert PHOTO to PNG
Photographs taken on modern phones are often saved as HEIC (iPhone), WebP (Android), or high-quality JPEG. PNG is a lossless format that preserves every pixel exactly, making it preferred for images that will be further edited, composited into a design, or used as assets in software where JPEG artifacts would cause visible degradation on repeated editing. Converting a photo to PNG is also useful for screenshots and interface captures where sharp text and solid-color areas matter.
This converter handles any image format you upload and produces a PNG output directly in your browser using WebAssembly. The photo never leaves your device, no account is needed, and there is no server-imposed file size limit. Note that PNG files are typically 3 to 10 times larger than an equivalent JPEG at similar visual quality.
Upload the photo
Drop your image file onto the converter. HEIC, HEIF, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and most common formats are accepted. The format is detected automatically.
Preview before converting
The browser displays a preview of the image. Check orientation and color before converting, especially for HEIC photos which sometimes arrive rotated before EXIF orientation is applied.
Convert to PNG in browser
WebAssembly decodes the source image pixel by pixel and writes the data as a PNG file. PNG applies lossless compression (deflate) to reduce file size without discarding any image data.
Download and verify size
Download the PNG. Check its file size; high-resolution photos can produce 10 to 30 MB PNG files. If you need a smaller file and can accept some quality reduction, JPEG at high quality is a better format for photographs.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use PNG or JPEG for photographs?
For archival or editing purposes, PNG is better because it preserves every pixel. For sharing, web use, or storage where size matters, JPEG at 85 to 90 quality is the standard choice. JPEG is designed for photographs and produces files 80 to 90 percent smaller than PNG for the same image.
Will the PNG preserve EXIF metadata (location, camera settings)?
JPEG and HEIC store EXIF data natively. PNG has limited metadata support. The converter may not transfer EXIF tags (GPS coordinates, camera model, date taken) to the PNG output. If preserving EXIF is important, keep the original file.
Is the photo uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device.
My iPhone HEIC photo is upside down in the PNG. Why?
iPhones embed orientation information in the EXIF data rather than physically rotating the pixels. PNG does not use EXIF, so some converters write the raw pixel data before applying the orientation tag. Check if the converter has an option to auto-rotate before downloading.
