HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's image format introduced with iOS 11. It provides better compression than PNG while maintaining image quality, but has limited compatibility with non-Apple devices.

Does converting HEIC to PNG lose quality?

No quality loss occurs during conversion. HEIC images are decoded and re-encoded as PNG, maintaining the original image quality. However, PNG uses lossy compression, so some minimal quality reduction may occur.
