Free Online GIF to HEIF Converter

Convert GIF images to HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) with this free online tool. HEIF provides superior compression and image quality compared to GIF, making it ideal for modern devices, especially within the Apple ecosystem.

GIF vs. HEIF: Why Convert?

GIF is a legacy format limited to 256 colors per frame. While great for simple animations and web graphics, it produces large files for complex images. HEIF is a modern format that supports millions of colors, superior compression (much smaller files), transparency, and HDR. Converting GIF to HEIF is especially useful when preparing images for Apple devices, reducing storage usage, or when you need higher color fidelity than GIF can provide.

How to Convert GIF to HEIF

  1. Upload your GIF file – Select the file from your device or paste a URL.
  2. Click "Convert to HEIF!" – Conversion is processed instantly.
  3. Download the HEIF file – Save and use on Apple devices or compatible applications.

Key Advantages

  • Much smaller file sizes – HEIF is significantly more efficient than GIF for still images.
  • Higher color depth – Supports millions of colors vs. GIF's 256-color limit.
  • Apple compatibility – HEIF is the native format on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
  • No watermarks or limits – Free, unlimited conversions with no registration needed.
