PNG is a short form for Portable Network Graphics. It is used for lossless image compression, which minimizes the loss of image data during compression. It supports a wide range of colours such as grayscale, indexed color, and true color which are crucial in high-quality digital image display. Due to its accessibility across all the image editing software and web browsers,PNG is one of the most popular format with a wide range of applications.
HEIC stands for High-Efficiency Image Container file, a new or next-generation container file format developed by Apple Inc. for new models of iPads and iPhones. The container format can store and transfer image sequences and individual digital images. A HEIC file or image covers rich multimedia files, including other media streams like video, audio, and time texts. The file format uses high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) to compress images, significantly saving space and bandwidth. HEIC advanced compression technology preserves image quality, resulting in small and high-quality photos compared to PNGs and JPEGs.
To convert files from PNG to HEIC use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any PNG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the PNG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the PNG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select HEIC.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted HEIC file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the HEIC file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a PNG file as a HEIC file, you first convert it to HEIC and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from PNG to HEIC, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the PNG file, Download the HEIC file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of HEIC is that it offers superior compression, resulting in smaller file sizes while maintaining high image quality. HEIC supports features like high dynamic range (HDR) and transparency, similar to PNG. However, the disadvantage of PNG is that it uses lossless compression, which results in larger file sizes than HEIC. Converting from PNG to HEIC can reduce file size and improve website loading times for most graphics. Check this PNG to HEIC comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
