The iPhone's HEIC saves space, but it doesn't open on many computers, sites and programs. PNG solves compatibility and is also a lossless format — perfect when you'll edit the photo several times without stacking up degradation.
It's also the right choice when you need transparency or crisp edges and text, for example when reusing part of the image in a project.
Photos are personal, and many online converters upload your image to a server. Here, the conversion happens entirely inside the browser: the photo is decoded in your device's memory and the PNG is handed back for download.
Nothing goes to the internet. For personal photos, that keeps the content under your control, from start to finish.
HEIC compresses using HEVC (H.265), a video codec covered by patents — the reason Windows charges for an add-on simply to display the photo, while on an iPhone it opens by itself.
PNG sits at the opposite extreme: an open format, patent-free and lossless, created precisely to be universal. Converting settles the compatibility question for good.
PNG discards no information, which is excellent for editing later — but HEIC is a highly compressed format. A 2 MB photo from an iPhone can become a 10 to 15 MB PNG.
If the goal is only to send or archive the photo, JPG gives the same visual result in a far smaller file. Choose PNG when you need transparency or a stable original for editing. Everything runs in the browser.
