About the formats
What is HEIC?
HEIC is the HEIF image format using HEVC compression. Apple made it the default camera format with iOS 11 in 2017, because it stores photos at about half the size of a JPG with similar quality. Many Windows programs, websites and upload forms still cannot open HEIC files, which is why people convert them.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format released in 1996. Every pixel is kept exactly, and it supports full transparency, which makes it the usual choice for logos, icons, screenshots and anything with text. Photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same photo as JPG.
Questions
Questions and answers
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. ConvertOrino converts your files with code that runs in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nobody else can see your files, and they are gone as soon as you close the page.
Should I pick PNG or JPG for iPhone photos?
JPG is the better choice for sharing photos, because the files are far smaller. PNG is best when you will edit the image again and want to avoid adding compression at every save.
Is the HEIC to PNG tool free?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because your own device does the work. Very large files are limited by the memory of your device. Phones handle files of a few hundred megabytes, computers handle much more.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any modern browser, including Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing needs to be installed.
Is hidden metadata such as location removed?
Yes, by default. Location, camera details and other EXIF data are removed from every converted image. For JPG output you can untick Remove metadata to keep the date taken and camera details instead.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion works without an internet connection, which also proves that your files are not sent anywhere.
