HEIC vs PNG Format Comparison

Aspect HEIC (Source Format) PNG (Target Format)
Format Overview
HEIC
High Efficiency Image File Format

Modern container using HEVC compression; supports HDR, wide color, and metadata.

Raw
PNG
Portable Network Graphics

Lossless raster format supporting full alpha transparency and truecolor.

Standard
Compression

Lossy HEVC-based; highly efficient at reducing file size.

Lossless DEFLATE; preserves exact image data without artifacts.

Color Depth

Up to 16 bits per channel; supports HDR and wide gamut.

8, 16 or 24 bits per channel plus 8‑bit alpha; up to 32‑bit color.

File Size

Compact; significantly smaller than PNG for comparable visual quality.

Larger due to lossless nature; grows with bit depth and resolution.

Advantages
  • Superior compression efficiency
  • Supports HDR and wide color gamut
  • Embedded metadata and thumbnails

  • Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET
  • Web browsers and design tools
  • GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick

Why Convert HEIC to PNG?

HEIC offers exceptional compression and advanced features like HDR, but its support is not yet universal. Converting to PNG ensures broad compatibility across all platforms and applications without sacrificing any image data.

PNG’s lossless compression guarantees that no artifacts are introduced during conversion, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and images requiring precise transparency. You retain exact pixel data along with any embedded metadata.

Whether you need high-fidelity stills for printing, transparent assets for web design, or reliable archival formats, converting HEIC to PNG combines modern efficiency with timeless compatibility—ensuring your images look flawless everywhere.
