How do I convert a PNG to a HEIF?

Upload your PNG file (or drag and drop), optionally adjust quality and resolution, then click Convert. Within seconds, your HEIF (or HEIC) file will be ready for download. We use the HEVC codec to encode your image, preserving alpha transparency and color depth while greatly reducing file size. You can also convert multiple PNGs to HEIF in batch.

Why convert from PNG to HEIF?

PNG uses lossless DEFLATE compression and supports transparency, making it ideal for graphics, logos, and screenshots. HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) uses HEVC or AV1 codecs to achieve up to 50% smaller file sizes at the same visual quality, while supporting 16-bit color, HDR, and animations. Converting PNG to HEIF is great for storing high-res photos on Apple devices, sharing via iMessage, or optimizing web page load times—though HEIF isn't universally supported on older browsers or Android devices.

How does the conversion handle specific attributes like transparency, color profiles, and resolution?

Our PNG to HEIF converter preserves your image's dimensions, pixel data, and color profile (such as sRGB or P3). Alpha transparency is retained as a separate channel in HEIF. However, PNG metadata like text chunks or ancillary chunks (e.g., gamma, chromaticity) is not carried over. If your PNG is interlaced or uses 8-bit palette-based color, we decode it to truecolor and re-encode in 10-bit HEVC—slightly increasing bit depth but usually improving quality for gradients. Note that HEIF does not support layers or animation from PNG, so only a single frame is converted.
