Convert PNG to HEIC Online Free & Fast
Turn your PNG images into HEIC files in seconds. No installs, no software just upload, convert and download.
This tool converts PNG images into HEIC, the compact image format Apple uses by default on iPhone. HEIC typically produces smaller files than PNG, and it supports transparency, so any transparent areas in your PNG can carry over. Worth knowing: HEIC's compression is optimized for photographs, and PNG is often used for graphics, screenshots or images with sharp edges and text that kind of content can show more visible compression artifacts in HEIC than an actual photo would. HEIC also has narrower compatibility than PNG outside Apple's ecosystem. Convert to HEIC mainly if you specifically want smaller files within Apple Photos or iCloud and the content is closer to a photo than a graphic. Upload your file and download a HEIC in seconds; it's deleted automatically within an hour.

Why Convert PNG to HEIC
- Saving storage space. HEIC files are often smaller than PNG, useful for iCloud or on-device storage.
- Keeping a photo library consistent. If most of your library is already HEIC, converting a PNG keeps the format consistent.
- Preparing images for Apple Photos. Some workflows import images into Apple's ecosystem specifically as HEIC.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting PNG to HEIC reduce my image quality?
It can. HEIC typically uses lossy compression by default, and its compression is optimized for photographs. PNG is often used for graphics, screenshots or images with sharp edges and text, which can show more visible compression artifacts in HEIC than an actual photo would.
Will my PNG's transparency carry over to the HEIC?
Yes, in most cases HEIC supports alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas in your PNG can carry over.
Will my HEIC file open on non-Apple devices?
Not always. HEIC has much narrower support outside Apple's ecosystem many Windows programs, Android devices and websites still don't open it natively, though support has improved over time.
Why convert a PNG to HEIC instead of keeping it as PNG?
Mainly to save storage space within Apple Photos or iCloud, or to keep a photo library in one consistent format. For graphics, screenshots or images you'll use outside Apple's ecosystem, PNG usually remains the more practical choice.
Is there a limit on how many PNGs I can convert?
The free plan allows 10 conversions a day for files up to 10 MB. Paid plans remove the daily limit and raise the file-size cap.
Is it safe to upload my PNG files?
Yes. Conversion is automated, uploads are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) and every file is permanently deleted within 60 minutes. Your images are never used to train AI models.
