Why convert PNG to HEIC?

Converting PNG to HEIC lets you take advantage of HEIC's approximately 50% smaller than jpeg at equivalent visual quality. PNG files (Portable Network Graphics) can be converted to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) for better compatibility, smaller file sizes, or access to features that PNG does not support.

PNG vs HEIC: technical comparison

PNG (Portable Network Graphics, introduced in 1996) uses DEFLATE (lossless) compression. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, introduced in 2015) uses HEVC (H.265) intra-frame compression. HEIC supports animation, unlike PNG. However, converting a static image will not create animation. PNG browser support: Universal. HEIC browser support: Limited (Safari only on macOS/iOS).

What happens to quality?

The quality impact depends on the specific settings used during conversion. HEIC uses compression that may affect quality depending on the chosen settings.

File size impact

Typical PNG file size: A 12MP photo: ~15-25 MB; a 800x600 screenshot: ~200-500 KB. Typical HEIC file size: A 12MP iPhone photo: ~1.5-2.5 MB.

Pro tip

For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
