Choosing the Right Image Format
- Web delivery — JPG for photos, WebP for modern browsers, AVIF for next-gen compression
- Transparency needed — PNG for sharp edges and logos, WebP for smaller size with alpha
- Print & archiving — TIFF for lossless quality, PDF for documents and multi-page files
- Editing workflow — keep original RAW or PSD; convert to JPG only for final delivery
| Format | Best For | Compression | Transparency | Typical Size | Convert |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | Photos, web images | Lossy | No | 50–500 KB | JPG → HEIC |
| PNG | Screenshots, logos, transparency | Lossless | Yes | 100 KB – 5 MB | HEIC → PNG |
| WebP | Web images (modern browsers) | Lossy & Lossless | Yes | 30–300 KB | HEIC → WebP |
| AVIF | Next-gen web, streaming | Lossy & Lossless | Yes | 20–200 KB | HEIC → AVIF |
| Documents, print, archiving | Lossless (image embed) | No | 50 KB – 10 MB | HEIC → PDF | |
| GIF | Simple animations, icons | Lossless (256 colours) | Yes (1-bit) | 5–500 KB | HEIC → GIF |
| TIFF | Print production, archiving | Lossless | Yes | 1–50 MB | HEIC → TIFF |
| HEIC | iPhone photos (iOS 11+) | Lossy | Yes | 1–5 MB | HEIC → JPG |
| SVG | Logos, icons, scalable graphics | Vector (lossless) | Yes | 1–200 KB | HEIC → SVG |
| BMP | Windows legacy, raw pixel data | None (uncompressed) | No | 1–50 MB | HEIC → BMP |
HEIC Quality Settings
- Q 90–100 — near-original quality, use for print and professional archiving
- Q 70–89 — excellent quality, ideal for website hero images and portfolios
- Q 50–69 — good quality, small artefacts only visible under close zoom
- Q below 50 — visible compression; use only for thumbnails or low-bandwidth delivery
| Quality Range | Visual Quality | Typical Use Case | Approx. File Size Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90–100% | Near-original, imperceptible loss | Print, professional archiving | 10–30% |
| 70–89% | Excellent, subtle artefacts under zoom | Website hero images, portfolios | 40–65% |
| 50–69% | Good, small artefacts visible close-up | Thumbnails, email attachments | 65–80% |
| 30–49% | Acceptable, visible compression | Previews, low-bandwidth delivery | 80–90% |
| 1–29% | Heavy degradation, blocky artefacts | Placeholder images only | 90–97% |
Use the HEIC compressor to reduce file size while choosing your quality level interactively.

Frequently asked questions
The short answers — for more detail, every converter page has its own deep-dive FAQ.
Are all heic.now tools free?
Yes. Every tool on this page works without payment or signup. Guests can convert 10 files per day with files up to 10 MB; a free account lifts that to 20 files per day with files up to 50 MB. Premium adds unlimited conversions, 200 MB uploads, AI tools (upscale, OCR, background removal), and no ads from $7.99/mo.
Do I need to install anything?
No — every tool runs in your browser. Lightweight tools (compare, aspect ratio, DPI calculator) run entirely client-side, so your files never leave your device. Conversions that need heavy processing (RAW, AI upscale, OCR) run on our servers and uploads are auto-deleted.
Which converter tool should I use?
Pick by your source and target format. To shrink without changing format, use one of the Compress tools. To change format, find the matching slug like HEIC to PNG or HEIC to JPG — every converter is listed above. For unusual input formats, the generic Image Converter handles anything Pillow + ImageMagick can read.
What's the difference between converting, compressing, and resizing?
Converting changes the file format (HEIC → JPG, PNG → HEIC) — useful for compatibility. Compressing keeps the same format but reduces file size by re-encoding — useful for faster uploads. Resizing changes the pixel dimensions (e.g. 4000×3000 → 1200×900) — useful for web display. The three are independent; the Photo Editor lets you do all three at once.
Are my files safe and private?
Uploads travel over HTTPS, sit in isolated per-session folders, and are auto-deleted within 24 hours for guests (7 days for free accounts, 365 days for Premium). We never index, share, or train AI on your uploads. Client-side tools don't upload anything at all.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes — every converter accepts batch uploads of up to 10 files on the free tier. Premium raises this to 50 per batch and unlocks the batch API. Files process in parallel on our workers, so a batch of 10 typically finishes in roughly the same time as a single file.
Working with JPG as your main format instead? Our sister site JPG.now has the same toolkit built around JPG — convert anything to or from JPG, compress JPGs, and more.
