Apple-Native Format

HEIC is the default image format across the Apple ecosystem. Your PPT slides convert into files that display flawlessly on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Superior Compression

HEVC encoding inside HEIC delivers excellent image quality at roughly half the file size of JPEG — your slide visuals stay sharp while storage shrinks.

Cross-Device Viewing

View HEIC images natively on Apple hardware, Windows with the HEIF codec, and Android with modern gallery apps. One format that works nearly everywhere.

About formats

PPT is the binary file format of Microsoft PowerPoint, the presentation software first released on April 20, 1987 for the Apple Macintosh and later ported to Windows. The PPT format stores presentations as OLE2 compound documents — a structured binary container developed by Microsoft that organizes slides, text content, images, charts, animations, transitions, speaker notes, and embedded objects across multiple internal streams. Each slide is composed of shape records describing text boxes, auto-shapes, images, tables, and other elements with associated formatting properties including fonts, colors, positioning, and animation sequences. The format evolved substantially through multiple PowerPoint versions, with the PowerPoint 97 release establishing the compound document structure that remained standard through PowerPoint 2003. One advantage is universal recognition — PPT files are understood by virtually every presentation application across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice Impress, Google Slides, and Apple Keynote, making it one of the most portable document formats ever created. The format's mature feature set is another strength: PPT files support complex slide masters, custom animations with timing sequences, embedded multimedia, OLE-linked objects, and VBA macros for automation. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based PPTX format with Office 2007, the binary PPT format remains widely encountered in archived presentations, corporate document repositories, and organizations that maintain compatibility with older PowerPoint versions.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's branded implementation of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) standard that uses HEVC (H.265) as its image compression codec. Apple adopted HEIC as the default photo format on iPhones and iPads starting with iOS 11 in September 2017, replacing JPEG for newly captured images. HEIC files store photographs compressed with the intra-frame coding mode of the HEVC video codec, which applies sophisticated prediction, transform, and entropy coding techniques that achieve roughly 50% better compression than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. The ISOBMFF (ISO Base Media File Format) container supports multiple images in a single file, enabling Live Photos (a still plus a short video clip), burst sequences, depth maps from dual-camera systems, and HDR gain maps that allow compatible displays to render extended dynamic range. HEIC also stores alpha channels, auxiliary images for computational photography features (portrait mode depth data, semantic segmentation masks), and comprehensive EXIF/XMP metadata. One advantage is storage efficiency: iPhones shooting HEIC use roughly half the storage of equivalent JPEG captures with no visible quality loss, a significant benefit on devices where storage is finite and photos accumulate rapidly. The format's integration with Apple's ecosystem is another key strength — HEIC files are natively supported across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and iCloud Photos, and automatic JPEG transcoding during file sharing ensures compatibility when sending photos to non-Apple devices. HEIC can also be opened by Windows 10/11 (with codec), GIMP, ImageMagick, and Adobe Lightroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert PPT to HEIC?

HEIC uses HEVC encoding inside the HEIF container — the default photo format on Apple devices. It produces smaller files than JPEG at equal or better visual quality.

What devices support HEIC?

All Apple devices running iOS 11+ and macOS High Sierra+ handle HEIC natively. Windows 10/11 supports it with a free codec extension from the Microsoft Store.

Is HEIC better than JPEG for slide images?

HEIC typically achieves roughly half the file size of JPEG for similar quality. For slide graphics with text and flat colors, the savings can be even more dramatic.

Can I share HEIC files with non-Apple users?

Apple devices automatically convert HEIC to JPEG when sharing. Windows users can install the HEIF codec, and most modern image editors now support the format.

Is PPT to HEIC free on Convertio?

PPT to HEIC conversion is free for standard use. Premium plans offer higher file size limits and priority processing for larger presentations.

Does HEIC support transparency?

Yes — HEIC supports alpha channels, enabling transparent backgrounds. This can preserve slide elements with transparency from your PPT presentation.
