What is PNG to HEIC Converter?
PNG to HEIC Converter changes PNG images into HEIC files for Apple-oriented photo workflows. HEIC can store images more compactly than PNG and is common across iPhone, iPad, and Mac libraries. The tool decodes the PNG in the browser and exports a HEIC copy.
How does PNG to HEIC Converter work?
This tool decodes the PNG source, draws it to a browser canvas, and encodes the result as HEIC. Because HEIC output is intended for opaque photo files, transparent PNG areas are flattened during conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will transparency be preserved?
No. HEIC does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your PNG will be filled with a white background in the output.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The PNG is decoded, converted, and exported in the browser.
What is the maximum file size?
The tool supports images up to 50MB. HEIC files are typically much smaller than the PNG source due to advanced compression.
Can Windows open HEIC files?
Yes, on Windows 10 and later with the HEIF Image Extension from the Microsoft Store. macOS and iOS support HEIC natively without any extensions.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload multiple files and the tool converts all of them.
