Overview

Convert your PNG images to the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) quickly and easily. This tool helps you reduce file sizes while maintaining high image quality, making it ideal for optimizing storage space on your devices.

When to use

  • When you need to save storage space on your mobile device or cloud storage.
  • When preparing images for web or app environments that support modern, efficient formats.
  • When you want to maintain high visual fidelity while significantly reducing file size compared to standard PNGs.

How it works

  1. 1Upload your PNG image file using the file selector.
  2. 2Adjust the quality slider to set your preferred balance between file size and image clarity.
  3. 3Click the convert button to process your file.
  4. 4Download your newly created HEIF image directly to your device.

Use cases

  • Optimizing high-resolution screenshots for mobile device storage.
  • Reducing the footprint of image assets for developers targeting modern platforms.
  • Archiving personal photo collections in a more space-efficient format.

Compare alternatives

  • Convert JPEG images to PNG format with transparency support and lossless compression

  • Convert PNG images to 8-bit color depth for smaller file size and better compatibility

  • Convert PNG images to AVIF format with next-generation compression and superior quality-to-size ratio

Who it's for

Best for

  • Convert images in the browser.
  • Repeatable jobs with images and the same settings every time.
  • Jobs where the output is a downloadable file.

Not ideal for

  • Fully automated batch jobs — this page is built for interactive use; use the API endpoint for scripts.
  • Files in formats this tool does not accept — it works with .png input.

Edge cases & common failures

  • Very large files

    Large files take longer and can hit browser memory limits — try a smaller sample first.

  • Skipping the output check

    Compare the first rows or pages of the output with the input before using it in production.

  • Files from unusual exporters

    Some files use format variants that do not convert cleanly — if the output looks wrong, re-save the file from the app that created it and try again.

Examples

1. Optimizing Mobile Screenshots

Content Creator

Background

A creator has a folder full of high-resolution PNG screenshots that are consuming too much space on their phone.

Problem

The PNG files are too large to keep in bulk, causing storage warnings.

How to use

Upload the PNG screenshot and set the quality to 75 to balance size and detail.

quality: 75

Outcome

The file size is reduced by over 50% while retaining the visual clarity needed for social media posts.

2. Web Asset Compression

Web Developer

Background

A developer needs to include several PNG graphics on a landing page but wants to minimize load times.

Problem

Large PNG files are slowing down the page rendering speed.

How to use

Convert the PNG assets to HEIF using the default quality setting.

quality: 80

Outcome

FAQ
