HEIC/HEIF is Apple's high-efficiency photo format used by iPhones; it saves space but isn't supported by many apps and sites. PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency, making it best for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges. File Transmute turns your HEIC into PNG right in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, and no daily limit. Because the conversion runs on your own device, even sensitive files stay private, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
