Convert PNG to HEIC
Free, instant PNG to HEIC conversion - processed entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
HEIC storage makes sense inside the Apple ecosystem, where Photos, iCloud, and iMessage handle it natively and files stay roughly half the size of JPG. Outside Apple devices, though, HEIC is poorly supported, so most people are better served converting PNG to WebP or JPG instead. This page uses the same in-browser converter, so you can pick whichever output format actually fits your destination.

Frequently asked questions
Can a web browser create HEIC files?
Browser support for encoding HEIC is extremely limited because the format's HEVC compression is patent-encumbered. If your goal is simply a smaller file than PNG, WebP or JPG will get you there with none of the compatibility risk.
Will I lose the PNG's transparency?
Most workflows that consume HEIC, like Photos apps, expect opaque photos. If the transparent areas matter, WebP preserves them while still shrinking the file dramatically.
