JPG or PNG — which should I pick for an iPhone photo?

For ordinary photos, JPG is smaller and usually the better choice. Pick PNG when you need a lossless copy or are putting the image into an editor or document that expects PNG.

Is the PNG larger than the HEIC?

Almost always, yes. PNG is lossless, so photo files get noticeably bigger. You trade size for an exact, universally readable image.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The whole conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor. Your files are never sent anywhere.
