PNG to HEIC - Convert PNG Files to High Efficiency Images Online

Need to shrink your PNG files without losing quality? Our PNG to HEIC converter transforms bulky PNG images into lightweight HEIC format-perfect for storage, sharing, or use on Apple devices. Whether you're uploading a single image or converting hundreds at once, this tool makes it simple and fast.

What Is a PNG File?

PNG, or Portable Network Graphics, is a popular image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparent backgrounds. It's widely used in web design, digital art, and screenshots. However, PNG files can be quite large-especially when they include transparency or high resolution-which makes them inefficient for storage and sharing.

What Is a HEIC File?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the modern image format developed by Apple and powered by the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) codec. It compresses images more efficiently than PNG or JPG, resulting in smaller file sizes without visual degradation. HEIC also supports features like transparency, image sequences, and richer metadata.

Why Convert PNG to HEIC?

  • Reduce file size: Convert large PNGs to HEIC to save space without sacrificing quality.
  • Preserve transparency: HEIC supports alpha channels, so your PNG transparency is retained.
  • Better for Apple ecosystems: iOS, iPadOS, and macOS natively support HEIC images.
  • Modernize your image storage: Switch to a more efficient format for long-term use.
  • Batch conversion support: Handle entire folders of PNGs in seconds.

Max File Size & Upload Notes

Each PNG image must be under 100 MB. For best performance, we recommend converting in batches of 1-25 images. Larger files or extremely high-resolution PNGs may take longer to convert depending on your internet speed and current server usage. If you encounter slowdowns, try splitting uploads into smaller batches.

  • Web Performance: Improve image load times with smaller HEIC files.
  • Cloud Backup: Save more files with less storage use.
