Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PNG?

PNG, which stands for Portable Network Graphics, is a raster graphics file format that was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF. It was first developed in the mid-1990s as a response to the limitations of the GIF format, primarily its color palette restrictions and the patent issues surrounding the compression technique GIF used at the time.

PNG key features

Key Features

  • Lossless Compression: PNG uses lossless compression, meaning that all the original image data can be fully restored when the file is decompressed. This makes it ideal for storing images with detailed, high-quality content.
  • Support for More Colors: Unlike GIF, which is limited to a 256-color palette, PNG supports 24-bit images, allowing for up to 16 million colors. This makes it highly suitable for complex images like photographs.
  • Transparency Support: PNG allows for varying degrees of transparency. It supports alpha channel transparency, which means you can have different levels of transparency for different pixels, allowing for smooth transitions and soft edges in images.
  • Interlacing: A PNG image can be saved with interlacing, a technique that allows incremental display. This means that a low-quality version of the whole image can be seen as the file is being downloaded, gradually improving in quality as more data is loaded.
PNG use cases

Use Cases

  • Web Images: Due to its lossless compression and support for transparency, PNG is very popular for use on the internet, especially for logos, icons, and other web graphics where quality and transparency are important.
  • Image Editing: PNG's lossless compression makes it a preferred choice for storing intermediate stages of digital artwork, as there is no quality loss with repeated saving.
  • Complex Graphics: For images that require high detail, such as diagrams and illustrations, PNG is often used because of its support for a high number of colors and alpha transparency.

What is a HEIF?

HEIF, or High Efficiency Image File Format, is a modern image file format introduced by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It was developed as part of the MPEG-H suite and is based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, or H.265) video compression standard. HEIF was designed to improve on the compression capabilities of older formats like JPEG, providing higher image quality at smaller file sizes.

HEIF key features

Key Features

  • Efficient Compression: HEIF offers significant improvements in file size and image quality compared to JPEG. This is largely due to its use of HEVC, which is more efficient than the compression algorithms used in JPEG.
  • Support for 16-bit Color: Unlike JPEG, which is limited to 8-bit color, HEIF supports up to 16-bit color depth, allowing for richer and more detailed images.
  • Advanced Compression Options: HEIF can store images and image sequences that are encoded either in HEVC or other advanced codecs, providing flexibility in how images are compressed and stored.
  • Support for Multiple Images in a Single File: HEIF can contain multiple images in one file, which can be used to store burst photos, focus stacks, or image sequences for animations. It can also store thumbnails, auxiliary images like depth maps, and metadata.
  • Non-destructive Editing: HEIF supports storing editing operations such as cropping and rotating as metadata, which means the original image can be reconstructed, preserving the original data without permanent alteration.
HEIF use cases

Use Cases

  • Mobile Photography: HEIF has been adopted by Apple in its iOS and macOS systems, replacing JPEG as the standard format for photos in an effort to save storage space while maintaining high image quality. This use leverages HEIF's efficient compression to store high-quality images in less space.
  • Professional Photography and Imaging: Given its high dynamic range and color fidelity, HEIF is also suitable for professional photography and imaging applications where quality is critical.
  • Rich Media Applications: With its ability to handle multiple images and types of data in a single file, HEIF is well-suited for applications involving complex image collections, such as digital photo albums or multimedia presentations.

How to Batch Convert PNG to HEIF?

  1. Upload all the PNG images you want to batch convert.
  2. In the conversion tool, select HEIF as the output format for your images.
  3. Start the batch conversion, the tool will convert all the selected PNG images to HEIF format.
  4. After the conversion is complete, download all the batch-converted HEIF images to your local device.
