I generally use HandBrake to convert videos to other formats, but with the latest PowerToys update, I no longer need to rely on another video converter app. Sure, HandBrake is much more advanced and can output videos in various formats, but PowerToys takes the cake for quick video conversion.

PowerToys can transcode a variety of video formats and output the video in MP4 format (H.264 for video and AAC for audio). For testing, I tried MOV, MKV, and WMV video files, and it successfully converted those videos into MP4 format. However, for some reason, it couldn’t process WEBM and AVI videos.

Nevertheless, you can convert a wide variety of videos and audio files to audio-only MP3 format. Not only that, you can convert various image files to PNG images. So, it covers multiple media types including videos, audio files, and images.

Microsoft has baked in media conversion to its Advanced Paste tool in PowerToys. Simply update PowerToys to the latest 0.89.0 version and enable the Advanced Paste module. You can now copy a media file (Ctrl + C) and then press the “Windows + Shift + V” shortcut to bring up the Advanced Paste window.

Here, click on “Transcode to .mp4” to convert and paste the video in MP4 format in the same directory, another folder, or app. Similarly, you can also convert any video and audio file to MP3 format as well. Note that it doesn’t support batch processing yet.

What I find interesting is that video conversion happens locally on your Windows machine. There are many online video converters that people use, but they pose privacy risks, and are much slower, compared to PowerToys’ built-in video converter.

You now have one more reason to use PowerToys and make Windows 11 a more feature-rich and customizable operating system. Besides that, I would also recommend Wintoys, which lets you improve performance and enhance Windows 11 with various tweaks.

Vinicius Junior missed a second-half penalty after a brilliant Telasco Segovia strike had cancelled out a superb Raphinha free-kick.

Alexander Gonzalez was sent off in the 89th minute after catching Vinicius with a raised hand, but despite nine minutes of added time, Dorival Junior’s team never realistically looked like escaping a raucous Estadio Monumental de Maturin with three points.

It means Brazil are third in the standings ahead of the remainder of Thursday and Friday matches, although Uruguay will overtake them if they can defeat second-place Colombia.

Venezuela vs. Brazil final score

Starting lineups:

Venezuela (4-2-3-1, right to left): 22. Rafael Romo (GK) — 4. Jon Aramburu, 3. Wilker Angel, 14. Ruben Ramirez, 15. Miguel Navarro — 6. Yangel Herrera, 13. Jose Martinez — 20. Eduard Bello, 7. Jefferson Savarino, 16. Jhon Murillo — 23. Salomon Rondon

Brazil (4-2-3-1, right to left): 23. Ederson (GK) — 13. Vanderson, 4. Marquinhos, 14. Gabriel Magalhaes, 16. Abner — 15. Gerson, 5. Bruno Guimaraes — 20. Savinho, 10. Raphinha, 7. Vinicius Junior — 9. Igor Jesus

Three wins from four games prior to the November international break had put the Selecao back into a good position in terms of qualification for the 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico, but this setback underlined the reality that they look a long way from being considered realistic contenders for the trophy.

Raphinha’s sumptuous free-kick late in the first half had them on course for victory, but Venezuela levelled within a minute of the second half starting, Segovia blasting home from the edge of the box at the end of a swift passing move.

Chances were scarce in a frenetic game watched by a boisterous capacity crowd, but when Vinicius was felled in the box by goalkeeper Rafael Romo, it seemed as though Brazil would regain their lead. However, the Real Madrid star’s spot-kick was comfortably saved, and he mishit the rebound horribly to send a bouncing ball wide.

An engrossing end to the contest saw Gonzalez sent off after raising his hand to the face of Vinicius, who had run up behind him to grab the ball for a free-kick. In stoppage time, a member of Brazil’s backroom staff was also shown a red card following a touchline fracas that began when the on-pitch sprinklers were activated while the game was still ongoing.

Venezuela held on through the extended added time to claim a deserved point that keeps their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup on track. Brazil’s fate is also in their own hands, but with their next three games coming against the other three teams in the CONMEBOL standings’ top four, this is not a result they will be celebrating.

Brazil sit fourth after 11 matches, five adrift of leaders Argentina. Venezuela are seventh but only a point outside the top five.

The most notable absence for La Vinotinto is starting defender Yordan Osorio, who has been missing for Italian side Parma since picking up a back injury in the previous international break.

They are also without backup goalkeeper Joel Graterol, who tore his patellar tendon in early October while playing for his club, Colombian giants America de Cali.

Venezuela have seemingly moved on from experienced veterans Josef Martinez and Roberto Rosales, as neither has received a call-up since being left off the Copa America roster.

In addition to the continued absence of Neymar, who continues to find himself on the injured list, the most notable names missing for Brazil are Rodrygo and Real Madrid teammate Eder Militao, who both picked up serious injuries in their recent win over Osasuna last weekend. Rodrygo picked up a thigh problem and will be sidelined over a month, while Militao has re-torn his ACL which will leave the defender sidelined for a lengthy spell.

Militao joins his fellow Brazil defender Bremer and Flamengo striker Pedro on the long-term shelf, with both having suffered the same knee injury in recent months.

Also out injured is goalkeeper Alisson, who remains absent from Liverpool action with a hamstring tear, while Yan Couto was not called in having only just returned to action for Borussia Dortmund after a month-long muscle injury.

The HEIC format is great because it allows you to take high-resolution images that don’t take up too much space on your iPhone or iCloud. But when it comes to compatibility and file management, HEIC is not as compatible as PNG or JPG.

This is not a deal breaker by any means, as you can easily convert the images. The following sections provide detailed guidance on how to convert on different devices. Additionally, there is an FAQ section at the end to provide additional information.

On a Mac

For Mac users, the easiest way to convert HEIC files to PNG is with the preview app. This is what you should do.

Step 1

Open your HEIC images in preview, then click File in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Click the Format drop-down menu and select PNG.

Step 2

Choose the destination folder next to Where and click save to complete the action.

Important notes:

When converting from HEIC to PNG, you cannot set the Quality to your preference. However, if you are converting to JPG, the Quality slider is available. By default, macOS sets this to about 80% and you can drag it all the way to the right for the best quality.

The Preview app also allows batch conversions of your HEIC files. Go to Finder, find the HEIC files you want to use, and select them all. You can then drag and drop the images into Preview, or right-click, choose “Open with” and select Preview.

Below the steps are as described above. Click the File menu on the bar, choose Export Selected Images, and set the desired destination and file format.

Don’t forget to select all images within Preview; you can do this by pressing Cmd + A. Otherwise, you will convert only the first image that appears in the list.

Additional tip

If you want, you can also resize HEIC images while converting them to PNG. Before clicking the File menu, bulk select the images in Preview and click Tools in the menu bar.

From the Tools drop-down menu, select Resize and enter the desired values ​​for your images. Once done, press OK and return to the File menu to perform the conversion.

The whole process is pretty quick, but expect to wait a little longer if you also resize the images. And this also depends on the number of images you are converting and the size of the HEIC file.

On a Windows 10 device

For Windows users, the process is a little more complicated. First, you need to make sure that your PC can recognize HEIC files or that it cannot preview or manipulate them. There are a few ways to do this. You can install codecs recommended by Microsoft, use TechJunkie Tool Converteror use HEIF Image Extensions.

The latter is a free utility tool available on the Microsoft Store. However, it is important to emphasize that neither the codecs nor the tool allow you to convert the images.

TechJunkie tools require no login credentials or downloads. All you need to do is open the website in your favorite web browser, click HEIC to PNGthen drag and drop your HEIC image.

To perform the conversion, you will need a web or third-party tool. For the purposes of this article, we will provide a quick guide to iMobile HEIC Converter. This is because the tool is secure, easy to use, and free. Additionally, there is a desktop version if you need much faster conversions.

Anyway, this is what you should do.

Step 1

Go to the iMobile HEIC Converter website and select the images you want to convert. You can “click to select” files from the local drive or drag and drop them into the web-based interface.

Step 2

Now, select the desired image format and quality in the designated fields. And the conversion should start automatically.

That out of the way; Click the Download button and choose the destination to save the images. In addition to PNG, this online software also allows you to convert to JPEG, JPG and GIF.

Directly on the iPhone

Surprisingly, you need to use third-party software to convert HEIC to PNG on your iPhone. This time we will see the Shortcuts app and how you can use it to complete the required action.

Step 1

Download and install the app on your iPhone and go to My Shortcuts when you launch the app. At the bottom of the menu, you will see the “Create Shortcuts” thumbnail.

Step 2

In the New Shortcut window, you will see the “Search apps and actions” bar at the bottom of the window.

Click on it and proceed to add apps and actions in the given order.

1. Select photos
2. Convert image
3. Save to photo album

Step 3

Now, you need to make certain changes to set up HEIC to PNG conversion. Tap the Select Photos action and change the button to Select Multiple.

Next to Convert, change the JPEG output to PNG and then choose the destination next to Save converted images. For example, you can name a file PNGConverted and save the images there.

Lastly, you need to name the shortcut and press ‘Made‘ to finish the actions.

How to use this shortcut

You can access the shortcut through the app or shout “Hey Siri + shortcut name.” Either way, you’ll access your Photos to select images for conversion. Tap each one and press Done to complete the action.

This takes some time, but the Shortcuts app shows you the progress bar as it completes the conversion.

From the web

Do you need to convert from time to time? It may be better to use a web-based client. Sites worth your attention include littlewow, CloudConvert, Convertand HEIC2PNG. But of course, these are just a few examples and you can use any other online software if it works better for you.

The important thing is that the online converter does not ask you to share your information. These web-based applications should work without requiring login or identity confirmation.

Apart from this, they should allow easy uploading and downloading of images without intermediate steps. To be exact, you upload the images, press Convert (or the software does it automatically), and then click Download to get the images.

Additional FAQs

Converting HEIC to PNG doesn’t require you to be tech savvy and there are many methods to choose from. However, unlike HEIC to JPG conversion, PNG conversion has more limitations.

This may require you to take further action or turn to third-party applications. However, this could change with one of the future iOS updates.

Can I automatically save images as PNG instead of HEIC?

The quick answer is no, you can’t. There is an iPhone trick to change camera and photo settings, but it won’t give you PNG files. Formats you can automate include JPG and HEIC only.

On the other hand, you can export HEIC files as PNG, but this is not the same as automatically saving them as PNG. And even if you use third-party software, you still need to tell the app which images to convert.

One way or another, automatic conversions on iOS and macOS devices require administrative permissions to access native Apple apps. At the time of writing, they are available to Apple developers and a handful of third-party companies.

Therefore, this can only be fixed with a major software update.

Why do iPhones use the HEIC file type?

The main reason Apple opted for the HEIC format is the balance between image size and quality. That is, HEIC compression protocols allow high-quality, high-resolution images to be taken that do not take up much space. And the benefits are multiple.

First of all, you’re not likely to use up all of your iPhone’s memory after a few days of carefree shooting. So image transfers, especially over wireless protocols, are much faster. This also allows you to store or backup more images in your iCloud account without purchasing additional space.

Of course, the HEIC format is not perfect, but it is relatively new. Over time, you can expect HEIC conversions to become a native option for all operating systems. And until then, you’ll need to find third-party software that works well for you.

Are third-party converters safe?

If you know what to look for, third-party converters are perfectly safe. As mentioned, if you choose a web client to convert, it’s important not to share your credentials with the site.

Also, you are uploading the images to third-party servers and they should not keep them after downloading. The situation is similar to apps you install on your computer or smartphone, except for the fact that you need to share your credentials.

But regardless, the conversion should be done locally on your computer or smartphone. And the app developer should not have access to your images or keep them on their servers.

Conversion here, conversion there, conversion everywhere

Despite the limitations, the HEIC format is there to make taking and managing images faster and more efficient. Currently, there is more than enough support to convert HEIC to any other format you need. And hopefully, Apple will soon include a native converter to make things even easier.

You know that feeling you get when you listen to your favorite song and it sounds good. The highs and lows of the instruments are perfect and the vocals are crisp and clear. That kind of sound quality is what music fans look for in digital audio, including FLAC files.

But how do you get the perfect sound of a FLAC file in a smaller file size? MP3 is the answer.

Converting FLAC files to MP3 is easy with the right software. In this tutorial, we’ll show you several simple and effective tools to convert your entire FLAC album library into convenient, great-sounding MP3s. We’ll also talk about what the move to MP3 means in terms of quality and storage volume.

FLAC versus MP3: What’s the difference?

A long-standing debate in the music industry is about which file format is better for listening to music: FLAC or MP3. Here’s what you need to know.

FLAC stands for “Free Lossless Audio Codec” file format. Being a lossless audio format, the encoding process does not affect the quality of the recording. On the other hand, MP3 (MPEG-1, Audio Layer III) is a proprietary digital audio encoding format that uses a form of lossy data compression. The MP3 algorithm compresses sound data to 1/10 of its original size (or less).

That said, FLAC files are higher quality than MP3s because they use less data compression to store sound information at audio CD-quality resolution (44100 Hz). This results in a more accurate reproduction of the original recordings. However, this also means that FLAC files take up much more storage space on your device. FLAC files can be up to five times larger than their equivalent MP3 version.

The main drawback of an MP3 is that it cannot reproduce sound waves in as much detail as FLAC, which means your listening experience will be less enhanced. If you listen to a FLAC file and its MP3 equivalent, there will be a noticeable difference in sharpness and clarity. However, depending on the listener, what you miss may not ruin the experience.
