Lossless compression with an alpha channel. Pixel-perfect, which also makes it the heaviest option for photographs.
Apple's default camera format since iOS 11. Efficient on device, awkward everywhere else.

Questions about PNG to HEIC
How do I convert PNG to HEIC?
Drop your PNG files onto the box above, pick a quality level if you want to override the automatic one, and press convert. The HEIC files download straight back to you — a single file on its own, or a ZIP when you convert several at once.
Is converting PNG to HEIC free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark, and no per-file charge. Conversion runs on our servers, so it does not depend on how fast your own machine is.
Are my files stored anywhere?
No. Files are held in memory only while the conversion runs and are discarded the moment the result is sent back. Nothing is written to disk and nothing is written to a database.
Will the quality drop?
PNG is lossless and HEIC is not, so some data is discarded. The quality setting is chosen automatically from the image's size and pixel count, which keeps the loss below what the eye picks up in normal viewing.
Why choose HEIC over PNG?
Apple's default camera format since iOS 11. Efficient on device, awkward everywhere else. Photos straight off an iPhone — usually the format you are converting away from. Browser support: Apple platforms; limited elsewhere, which is why conversion is common.
