02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • The iPhone rotation is applied, so the photo comes out the right way up
  • The main photo is converted at full resolution
  • Saved as a lossless PNG, so no quality is lost in this step
  • Transparency is kept

Good to know

  • Only the still photo is converted. The short video of a Live Photo is not included.
  • PNG files are much larger than JPG or WebP for photos.
  • The source is already compressed, so converting to a lossless format makes the file bigger without adding any detail.
  • Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

HEIC vs PNG

HEIC

A HEIC file is the photo format iPhones and newer iPads use by default (also called HEIF). It keeps photo quality at about half the size of a JPG, but many Windows apps, websites and email services can't open it — which is why people convert it to JPG or PNG.

Used in: iPhone & iPad photos · Apple Photos exports · Live Photos

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
