Why Convert PNG to HEIC?
50-70% Smaller Files
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) produces files 50-70% smaller than PNG. If you're storing images on an iPhone, iPad, or iCloud, converting to HEIC frees up significant storage space.
Apple Ecosystem Optimization
HEIC is Apple's native image format since iOS 11. Converting PNG images to HEIC keeps your Apple Photos library consistent and storage-efficient. HEIC files sync faster to iCloud and use less of your storage quota.
Transparency Support
Unlike JPG, HEIC supports alpha transparency — so transparent PNG images maintain their transparency after conversion. Logos, icons, and graphics with transparent backgrounds are preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes. HEIC supports alpha transparency, so transparent PNG areas are preserved in the HEIC output.
Can Windows and Android open HEIC files?
Windows 10/11 supports HEIC with the free HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Modern Android (9+) supports HEIC natively. Older systems may need third-party viewers.
Does converting PNG to HEIC lose quality?
HEIC uses lossy compression by default, so some data is discarded. At high quality settings (80-90%), the difference from the lossless PNG original is imperceptible.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload multiple PNG files and convert them all with the same settings.
Is it free?
Yes. Completely free with no watermarks, no sign-up required, and no file count limits.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Works in any modern browser on all devices — no app installation required.
