Convert PNG images to HEIC format with high compression and quality preservation. Free, easy, and quick conversion tool.
HEIC files are up to 50% smaller than equivalent PNG files while maintaining similar quality, making them perfect for storage optimization.
HEIC is the default format for photos on iOS and macOS. Converting to this format ensures seamless integration with Apple devices and services.
HEIC uses advanced compression algorithms to deliver better image quality at significantly smaller file sizes compared to older formats.
Click the upload button or drag and drop your PNG file into the designated area.
Set your desired width, height, and compression quality. Higher quality means larger file sizes.
Click the 'Convert to HEIC' button and wait for the conversion process to complete.
Once conversion is finished, click the 'Download HEIC' button to save your converted file.
Your images are processed securely on our servers and deleted after processing.
We don't keep your original or converted images. All files are automatically deleted after processing.
We're committed to providing free, high-quality tools while respecting your privacy and data security.
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format based on the HEIF standard. It was adopted by Apple starting with iOS 11 as the default image format for photos due to its superior compression and quality.
HEIC offers significantly smaller file sizes (up to 50% reduction) while maintaining excellent image quality. It also supports features like 16-bit color depth, transparency, and better metadata handling.
HEIC is natively supported on Apple devices running iOS 11+, macOS High Sierra+, and recent versions of iPadOS. Windows 10 and 11 can support HEIC with additional codecs. Adobe software and many image editing applications now include HEIC support.
Most web browsers don't natively support HEIC format for security and licensing reasons. You'll need to use a compatible image viewer or convert HEIC to a more web-friendly format like JPEG or PNG for browser viewing.
For most purposes, a quality setting of 75-85 offers the best balance between file size and image quality. Use higher values (85-100) for professional photography or printing, and lower values (50-75) for significant file size reduction when quality is less critical.
